Ayaka Sajyou

Ayaka Sajyou is around twenty years old, but she has a childlike face, even by Japanese standards, so she probably looks two or three years younger than her actual age. She wears conservatively styled glasses in an attempt to appear more mature, but as if to contradict that, her hair has been dyed a bright blonde.

Ayaka is afraid of taking elevators because she suffers from the Little Red Riding Hood delusion. [ 13 ] [ 14 ]

Person A is introverted by nature, so living alone isn't a problem for her. She's comfortable without other people and isn't bothered by having few friends or the prospect of living with strangers. She prefers this solitude, not caring if friends or family bother her. She dislikes simplicity and prefers a larger space that acts as a "fortress" against the outside world. Instead of enjoying solitude, she fears other people approaching and invading her space. The place where she lives must be spacious, solid, and hard, almost "impenetrable," for her to feel comfortable living there. The hallway of the apartment is especially ideal for her, as it acts as a "boundary" to the outside world. She doesn't care about the outside world as long as it doesn't interfere with her lifestyle, so even remembering the name of someone she sees often doesn't interest her. [6] In order to avoid directly observing the world line and establishing it as truth, Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg and Caubac Alcatraz decided to choose Ayaka as an outsider to participate in the False Holy Grail War. [15] Ayaka first goes to a local pharmacy and asks the clerk about nearby motels. [11]

Ayaka manages a certain opera house in Snowfield, just as Philia instructed. Ayaka was captured by Cashura, a magician working for the United States government. He believes Ayaka is a spy and was planning to summon King Arthur with his catalyst and have him kill Ayaka. However, just as he was about to perform his summoning, he was killed by False Assassin, who used Zabaniya: Phantasmal Pedigree on him. Assassin asks Ayaka if she is after the Holy Grail. Before Ayaka can answer, she sees the opera stage enveloped in light and multiple figures. However, all but one disappear with the light.

Ayaka shares the name and appearance of the mage Ayaka Sajyou of the Clock Tower. Differences include Ayaka having blonde hair instead of Ayaka of the Clock Tower's brown hair, and her name translating in katakana as (WP) and in the western order (WP), rather than Ayaka of the Clock Tower's (WP) and in the eastern order (WP). Initially, they were believed to be the same person, but investigations by Lord El-Melloi II, Ayaka of the Clock Tower's master, and the organization overseeing the War, prove they are different individuals. [4]

Ayaka initially believed she was a student who moved to Fuyuki Shinto in early spring, shortly after turning twenty, renting room 2 on the eleventh floor of the Semina Apartments. A relative committed suicide during the autumn, and she disappeared a month later. Although the police were asked to launch an investigation, nothing was found. Kaede Makidera claimed that "Person A," as she came to be known, had only embarked on a journey of self-discovery and would return when she had grown stronger. Later, Ayako Mitsuzuri recounted the story as a ghost story, with an unknown number of embellishments. [5] The "Little Red Riding Hood of the Semina Apartments" is a common ghost story among the students of Homurahara Academy, to the point that Taiga Fujimura has banned it.

Ayaka is recognized by Thia Escardos, Wolf, and Svin Glasscheit as a non-human being. While she is a different creature from him, she is equally incompatible with human society. [1] She even goes so far as to declare that she will eventually become an enemy of humanity. [31] [2] Thia considers Ayaka a problem that must be eliminated, and even hurls fragments of space debris large enough to destroy the entire city of Snowfield from orbit just to kill her. [1] Kirei Kotomine and Philia recognized the type of being she was upon seeing her, but for some unknown reason, what they told her about her nature is blocked in her memories. [10]

A mysterious woman granted Ayaka five command spells; the command spells are located on her right hand, right shoulder, back, left shoulder, and left hand. [11]

Hansa Cervantes,[21] Francesca Prelati,[27] and Thia Escardos[31] state that it has an enormous amount of magical energy, was able to withstand two Servants and held up well even with them spamming their Noble Phantasms, when not even first-class mages would be able to keep up with such repeated uses.[21][31]

In reality, Ayaka is a Supreme Mystic Code created from the six pieces of a being believed to be a Fairy, extracted from the Spirit Tomb of Albion and sold to the El-Melloi family, who modified them to create three Magic Energy Reactors that produced an inexhaustible source of Magic Energy. The current head of the El-Melloi family then considered reuniting the six pieces, but decided against it, since, while the union would generate even more energy, it would also run the risk of the Mystic Code becoming a complete being with a sense of identity.

Ayaka is adamant about having nothing to do with the Holy Grail War and asks Saber to leave her alone, but he points out that she is still a Master and that other Masters and Servants could attack and kill her, so her only hope of survival is to stay with him. [13] They go to an underground punk club where Saber impresses everyone with her electric guitar skills. In return, they are given food, a change of clothes, and a place to sleep. A man mistakes them for a couple, but she denies it. Saber decides to reveal her real name to him: Richard the Lionheart. [14]
