Kamisato Ayaka —Daughter of the Yashiro Commission's Kamisato Clan—

History

The heirs of the Kamisato clan, one of the three most respected and prestigious clans in Inazuma City, are a pair of brothers. The older brother, Ayato, is the head of the clan and is in charge of government affairs, while his younger sister, Princess Ayaka, is in charge of the internal and external affairs of the clan. Ayaka often appears on social occasions to interact with common people. For this reason, she, well known by the town, has earned a better reputation than her older brother, which has earned her the elegant title of “Princess Heron.” As everyone knows, Ayaka, the descendant of the Kamisato family, is a person greatly admired by the town due to her beauty, her elegance, and her noble character.

Character history (1)

In Inazuma, all matters of state that do not depend on the Raiden Shogun are largely administered by the Triarchal Council. The executive powers of this body are divided, in turn, between three groups known as the “Triumvirate”: the Yashiro Commission, the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission. The three clans that have power over these Commissions are the Kamisato clan, the Kujou and the Hiiragi. These three great clans are known throughout Inazuma. Kamisato Ayaka is the descendant of the Kamisato clan of the Yashiro Commission, and she is known as Princess Heron. As for the reason for such a nickname, each person in Inazumana has their own explanation. “Miss Ayaka is as graceful and pure as a heron. You just have to see her elegance and the intelligent and correct way of speaking about her. How could someone like that not be named princess?” “Miss Ayaka may have been born into a noble family, but she is elegant and polite to us. She is kind, loyal, and willing to help others. What's more, she even took in that commoner, Thoma, against the opinion of some people.” There are as many opinions as there are people, but no one is able to say where the nickname “Princess Heron” really came from.

Character history (2)

As a descendant of the Kamisato clan of the Yashiro Commission, Ayaka has to always be alert to power struggles between noble families. Being young and famous throughout the country, she has been the inevitable target of provocations from other noble offspring who have been jealous of the Kamisato brothers. Creating and maintaining a public image may be a formality, but for a prestigious family like the Kamisato clan, even the protocol that seems to make the least sense actually has social meaning. Not participating in Inazuma's tangled web of political relationships puts her position at the head of the Yashiro Commission at risk. Therefore, the two brothers reached an agreement: the older brother, Ayato, who prefers not to appear in public, would take care of government affairs, while the responsibility of maintaining the clan's image would fall on his younger sister, Ayaka, elegant and more socially adept. Whether negotiating with potential partners or interacting with difficult-to-treat nobles, her actions are always well-founded and beyond reproach. The internal affairs of the clan are also in charge of him. In fact, if it weren't for her, the Kamisato Estate would have long ago fallen into chaos.

Character history (3)

One autumn afternoon, Ayaka was heading home after taking care of some unimportant matters when, by chance, she heard the singing of an old voice coming from an old house. Inside it was a blind old woman who, by touching the strings of her instrument with her thin fingers, produced music similar to the flow of water. Perhaps it was because of her keen hearing, but the old woman heard Ayaka's footsteps and asked who was out there. Not wanting to bother her, Ayaka replied that she was a nearby resident who had gotten lost and that she had made it there. As a member of the Yashiro Commission, Ayaka was well familiar with the people, so she quickly recognized the lonely old woman and knew that she was the same person who was engaged in hawking on the city streets when the weather was good. time. Both the melody and the song she played were quite old-fashioned. Since she was blind, the old woman was not up to date. Even in the nation that longs for eternity there are people whose life is very hard. Hiding her true identity, the kind Ayaka chatted for a long time with the old woman, who took her for an ordinary young woman, talked to her about how to make and play a zither, and even gave her some tea leaves she had saved. Compared to the exquisite leaves available to the Kamisato clan, these coarser ones might as well have been simple grass, but Ayaka accepted them and gave her her sincere thanks. That day, she thought many times about her parents. If they had remained alive, would they have aged like this? Upon returning home, she spoke with her brother about her meeting with that lady while they were tasting the rustic tea that she had given him. After that, Ayaka began to visit the old woman frequently, always posing as a person who lived nearby, and every time she went she brought her some basic necessities, something so appreciated by common people.

“The cherry trees on the streets have bloomed again,” Ayaka told the old woman with a smile, “and they are as beautiful as your music.”

Character history (4)

People believe that the expenses of the nobility are far above those of the common people. Therefore, someone as noble as Kamisato Ayaka must also lead a life full of luxuries and whims. However, this statement is only half correct. Ayaka lives in a much more particular way than any ordinary citizen. Studying ikebana and the tea ceremony, tasting exquisite teas and enjoying exotic flowers daily do not entail small expenses. However, these are all skills that, as a young lady of a noble house, she must master, and which cannot be considered a whim. Instead, what really makes Ayaka smile is actually the normal things that even ordinary people can enjoy. In those moments, she is not the beloved Princess Heron, nor Miss Ayaka, owner of the great Kamisato Estate. She is simply Ayaka, a girl like any other. That's when she puts aside the image of her and embodies her true self. Only being Ayaka can she let go of her responsibilities and do what other girls do. When she is hungry at night, she hides from her servants and sneaks into the kitchen to prepare some rice dipped in tea while humming a little song. In her tea ceremony classes she sneaks away from her without being seen to predict her fortune in love through divination with tea leaves... And many other things. Although she has never told anyone, Ayaka values ​​the time she spends as a normal girl more than anything, since she rarely has a moment of freedom.

Character story (5)

The tutors who teach various skills to Ayaka used to say, “Whether it is tea ceremony, chess, sword art, or all other matters involving elegance, Ayaka is already a master.” It is evident that she is already a noble and magnificent young woman, skilled with both the pen and the sword, which fills her guardians with pride in her. However, Ayaka always thinks about whether she really doesn't regret all of it. The essence of tea is peace and tranquility. That of the sword is its sharp blade. And that of chess is the wisdom of analyzing everything that happens. Ayaka has been waiting for a long time to have a friendship that can walk alongside her on equal terms. But that person should not see her as a member of the Yashiro Commission or as the Heron Princess, and she should not treat her well because of her elegance or her status. Furthermore, if possible, she should also be well-versed in many fields of study and have witnessed all kinds of interesting things… And perhaps she would also have to be able to tell him a story when necessary. Only such a person could become Ayaka's close friend. “I don't think all that is too much to ask for, but… where could I find a person like that?”

Moriwakamaru

"Come come come" “We play temari!” “1, 2, 3” “The temari climb the Sacred Cherry Tree” “4, 5, 6” “They have flown to Yougou Mountain!” “7, 8, 9” “And now they are back in my hands!” "Yeah! “Into the hands of little Ayaka!” This was Ayaka's favorite nursery rhyme when she was little. Back then, she named her favorite multicolored temari the name “Moriwakamaru,” and played with it while humming this same song. Hearing the song, her parents and her brother couldn't help but smile. In fact, they even joined in the fun and threw temari at each other. But that was a long time ago and Ayaka doesn't play temari anymore. She has become an independent and responsible person, so she had to keep Moriwakamaru, the symbol of her childhood and the bearer of the most beautiful memories of her, in her closet.

Vision

A few years ago, the clan underwent a great change and a heavy burden fell on Ayato's shoulders. At that time, Ayaka was not as mature and skilled as she is now. She was a playful child who knew nothing about family responsibilities and therefore lacked the necessary skills and experience to deal with different types of people. But seeing her mother sick and her brother working so hard, Ayaka felt that it was time to grow up. Thus, she decided to return to the art of the sword and poetry, two things that she had abandoned a long time ago despite being basic elements of nobility. If she managed to master these two skills, she could at least play the role of a descendant of the Kamisato clan and thus help her brother attend the festivals to alleviate her workload a little. To tell the truth, she Ayaka did not have a supernatural talent and she worried too much about not being able to memorize poetry, about not writing elegantly enough or about not mastering the art of the sword. However, she was very tenacious and, when she failed to memorize a poem, she would read it fifty times. When she didn't write a word correctly, she would write it again fifty more times. And when she failed to learn a sword technique, she practiced it fifty more times. “No one can avoid a blow that has been practiced a thousand times,” her mother once told her. When she left this world, she Ayaka stopped being “little Ayaka” and became Kamisato Ayaka, the descendant of the Kamisato clan, one of the three great clans favored by the Shogun. Thus, sword training became part of her daily life, something that remains true even today. One day, Ayaka finally managed to defeat an opponent with a single blow. She was in the center of the gym where she trained and, at that moment, frozen flowers emerged around her. Then, she could see an icy, brilliant Vision hanging from the tip of her sword.

Indeed, no one can dodge a blow that has been practiced a thousand times, and even the gods can be moved by such a feat.

Appearance

Ayaka uses the medium female model. She has pale skin, light silver-blue eyes with sky blue pupils, and very light waist-length pale blue hair styled in a hime cut in front. She also has a small mole under her left eye.

Outfit - Flawless Radiance

Ayaka's hair is tied in a high ponytail by a black armored headdress accented with gold. The chin-length locks of hair framing her face are tied at ear-level with white accessories bordered with gold and fastened with bright pink cords tied in cloverleaf knots. Ayaka wears a royal blue pleated knee-length skirt embroidered with an assortment of patterns, bearing gold accents and small white flower print with a pair of white shorts with a lace trim at the base underneath, and black geta sandals with ankle-length white socks decorated by pink cloverleaf knots at the back. She has a black breastplate with a golden Kamisato Clan emblem in the center and matching armor platings on the sides of her skirt. Underneath her breastplate is a loose elbow-length shirt with gradients of blue to white. Her cuffs and collar on her top are navy with a variety of gold stripes. She wears black sleeves underneath the loose shirt, sling over her middle fingers, and covering both of her thumbs. On top of her black sleeves are white armored platings lined by gold metal, tied together by red knots. At the back of her outfit is a large royal blue bow, tied together by her Vision and another bright pink cloverleaf knot. The lower half of the ribbons darken in color with gold markings of the same type seen throughout Inazuma. She also carries around a gold-navy fan that matches her skirt. The fan is seen in one of her idle animations.

Outfit - Springbloom Missive

Ayaka's hair is styled into two braids that are looped outward before wrapping around her head. The chin-length locks of hair framing her face have one white flower on each side above her eyebrows and are tied at ear-level with white-trimmed blue accessories that each have one blue butterfly ornament stuck on top. There are white flowers on her braids. Ayaka also wears a hat decorated with two orange flowers on the left side. Ayaka wears a coat-like light blue open dress with a dark corset over a white petticoat with white sleeves and a faint silver gradient. The open dress's design includes lightly colored lines seen elsewhere in Inazuma and has general gold accents as well as gold accents in the shape of sakura flowers, and the petticoat has the Kamisato Clan crest faintly patterned at the bottom. The dress also has a white collar and a pink bow on the left shoulder. At the back of her dress are gold-tasseled purple ribbons with the Kamisato Clan crest as well as a large blue bow styled to look like a blue butterfly, with her Vision in the center. Ayaka also wears a ring with a small blue butterfly ornament on her right middle finger.

Personality

Ayaka is a kind-hearted girl with a pleasant temperament who treats others with politeness and courtesy. She holds the people of Inazuma dear to her heart and often goes out of her way to personally assist in all kinds of matters; being a member of the Yashiro Commission, she feels that she must meet the people's needs. She is a perfectionist with an earnest personality. Her dedication often moves people, and those close to her gave her the honorary title of Shirasagi Himegimi. People in the neighborhood always talk about her with sincere admiration. Thanks to the influence of Ayaka's excellent upbringing, her heart is as pure as crystallized ice. Just like the splendid colors reflected as the ice crystals spin in the winter air, such is Ayaka's spirit. While the people of Inazuma love her, it is also well known that she has very few friends due to her upbringing — Thoma is her only known friend until she met the Traveler. She is also busy to the point that she doesn't have much free time, to begin with, so she has trouble mingling with others. When not burdened with her duties, she shows a tender, cute side to her. But if you want to capture a heart hanging high in the sky, you must have the ability to climb up the clouds. In other words, Ayaka is eager to associate with people capable of achieving great feats — in her eyes, friendships are dictated by fate, the same way she was destined to wield her frost-covered sword.
