==Trivia==
*In an interview with Shin Megami Tensei V demon designer Masayuki Doi, her design was inspired from her name, with the word "Kaya" referring to dried straws in thatch roofs, hence her appearance as a straw doll, in addition to the fact she is the ancestrial deity of grass. As "Hime" means "princess," she was designed to look naive, similar to the "oblivious princess" trope, one that originates from old Japanese period dramas.Doi-san's Demon Commentary: Kaya-no-HimeThe latest in Doi-san's bountiful harvest of demon commentary is Kaya-no-Hime! Sometimes it's the "stray demons" who are the most fun!, Twitter (@Atlus_West, November 18, 2021)
*In the same interview, Doi states that Kaya-no-Hime's design comes from an old idea from Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse, which was ultimately scrapped as of then, but has been reworked and redesigned in early development stages of SMT V.
