## Profile

### Identity

Saber's true identity is **Asagi Igawa**, the protagonist of the Taimanin series. As the leader of all Taimanin, the current academy's principal, and government mediator, she is a figure demanding respect from friends and foes, well known as the strongest, almighty Taimanin.

She is the leader of all taimanins, a group of ninjas who fight for justice. Serves as the headmistress of Gosha Academy, the educational institute for all taimanins.

Utilizes master swordsmanship and superhuman physical capabilities, in addition her ninja art allows her to move beyond human perception. She has awakened her true powers during a certain mission. Her weapon of choice is a ninja katana.

1/3
Asagi has long dark-blue hair with curved bangs with spikey ends and tealed-colored eyes. She has a very voluptuous body with medium-sized to big breasts. She wears her Taimanin battle suit, with the iconic purple color and white lines being her trademark. Later on in recent entries and spin-offs, she also wears a similar suit in white with black lines. This battle suit increases her strength.

In her demon form, Asagi's skin turns violet and her hair white. However, in TA2, her demon form gives her a demonic claw and darker skin instead.

### Personality

Asagi is a mature and confident woman, who is serious and strict while on missions and knows when to be reserved and take responsibility. She demands a reasonable degree of professionalism but, from time to time, becomes more lax when her sister is involved. Asagi's character shifted somewhat as she aged to be more relaxed and less rude.

In her youth, her confidence sometimes bordered on arrogance, and she was far more uncompromising with her own sense of justice, opposing even Taimanin unification until proven wrong. Asagi still put people over the rules, and learned to smartly navigate the political world and eventually learned to bend it more towards real justice. Around her 20s, she could be very abrasive and intense towards enemies, something that has not been seen much since. Though, she does not show it in fights, Asagi somewhat worries that with age, her skill will diminish. As a result, she pushes more and more for the next generation. Both Sakura and Murasaki are careful when talking about that topic.

In most games, she is loyal and proactive, capable of taking action if needed. She is seen as a calm veteran, with a bit of deadpan humor. In a fight, she tends to taunt her enemies and feels some level of clear enjoyment from fighting, while remaining strict on herself. Asagi does not hesitate to kill if she wants (or has) to, and to her enemies, can almost seem like an elegant monster to be feared and respected. Outside of missions, she is caring and motherly to her friends and family, as well as a mentor and inspiration for her students. More so after TA1, Asagi thinks that it is better for her to remain alone, so that her love life does not come into conflict with her work, and nobody else ends up like her deceased boyfriend. However, if in a relationship, she is very forgiving and loving, trying to make her lover happy anyway she can.

In the event of capture, she remains iron-willed to a superhuman degree, even taunting the people trying to break her. Asagi is more shy about erotic and romantic things than her sister, as she tries to act professionally or hides her interest. Though she feels humiliated by some of her lewder experiences, she also hides some stimulation she feels regarding it.

However, if in a relationship, she is very forgiving and loving, trying to make her lover happy anyway she can.

If broken, she turns into a very needy, sluttish, and submissive woman to her lover. Her Demon and Vampire form are so drastically different from her, that they can be seen as other characters. In Taimanin GOGO! she may have some difficulty with her language skills, and unlike the usual Asagi, seems to be a bit clumsy.

### Relationships

#### **Sakura Igawa**

Asagi acts like a responsible older sister to Sakura, cleaning up after her sister's disorganized mess that she tends to leave around. She tends to scold her sister because of her more childish behavior, and demands her to use honorifics and titles, as well as follows mission protocol when on the job. They both maintain a healthy and protective relationship, and would risk their lives for each other. Sakura is worried that Asagi will remain alone after losing Kyousuke.

#### **Annerose Vajra**

Asagi and Annerose are considered allies and are on friendly terms. Annerose has been hired by Asagi on occassions and was its possible she was hired in the main canon at some point on her timeline. Both are able to work together, Asagi respecting, Annerose's skills and methods and Annerose respecting Asagi as a worthy client.

## Abilities

Asagi is a strong and powerful Tainamin that existed. Her combat skills, agility, and physical strength are to be feared by all Demons and Ogres as like a monster more than Tainamin. She masters all the fundamentals of her training, while other Tainamin have unique weapon and style, Asagi prefers the regular sword style, but far from unique. In her youth while training she refused to used her sword, but even without it her mastery of martial arts allows to take on any Tainamin and Demon without issue. She is even able to withstand torture that no normal human could outlast with sheer will power, she is able to control parts her body using an aphrodisiac method.

Asagi's sword is her Ninjato blade. The style she uses is simple, but she pushed it to the point where she perfected it in her training, mastering the technique and becoming the expert of this fighting style. with her superhuman speed, her mastered swordsmanhip becomes deadly as she could cut many demons with ease. This in turn makes her one of the most terrifying swordswoman to ever come across.

Her Ninja Arts can be used to enhance her senses, speed and physical traits in combat. Her complete mastery of this can become threatining to demonic traits, even against demons who are immortal. She becomes six times more faster than the average speed, likely faster as light.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Ninpo Satsujinka; "Blossom of Light"**

Stronger version of Koujinka the slow-down effect is strong enough, that Asagi's body appears to duplicate. These additional 5 Asagis then combine for multiple slash attacks, it is often said to move as fast as light or faster but how true that is, is unknown. Used at full power can even be a danger to noble demons.

#### **Sword Battle Petal; "Slayer of Thousand Cuts"**

A kind of branching technique. It is able to bury several opponents all at once, sending it out in an arc to hundreds of bodies at its greatest efficiency. Furthermore, its scope reaches one's field of vision, being able to send out in an instant anywhere a delivery, sort of like an aircraft fighter locking on a target. This battle system of ninjitsu is at its strongest when its used in close quarters.

#### **Inner Demon; "Transformation of One's Inner Darkness**

An Anti-Self Noble Phantasm that allows Asagi to undergo a demonic transformation into her Inner Demon Self.

She gains an Inner Demon transformation after being captured by Saya and Clone Oboro. Similar to Shinganji Kurenai, she has control over when to use it. Granting her enhanced physical strength over her already human strength. However, should Asagi ever give fully into this power, the shadow will fully take over her body and mind, destroying her ego (in simple terms, Asagi dies and Kage takes full control). The "Shadow" looks exactly like Asagi but with purple skin, black and yellow eyes and claw like finger nails. In TA2 she looks like Asagi but with white hair and a darker look for her outfit.

Asagi's gain of this demon transformation has also explained why she has demon blood mixed into her traits.
