### Jagged Pass South

Upon leaving Jagged Cavern, the player meets Sayaka for a third time, this time Sayaka asks you if you'd like to have a battle with her. Upon defeating her, she moves on to Jul'far. If the player does not win this battle before ending the bandit siege of Jul'far, Sayaka's story progress will be lost.

### Jul'far

The player can meet her in Jul'far, where she is protecting her grandmother's house from the bandit attack. She asks you to come by her grandmother's house whenever the bandits have retreated.

After defeating the leader of the bandits, the player can visit Sayaka's grandmother's house. Here is revealed that Sayaka is 21 years of age and doesn't like girly clothes like dresses, to the disappointment of her grandmother. Granny states that Sayaka is just like her father.

After the player reveals their next destination to Sayaka, she is excited to go with the player to Murmur Tower and to be friends with the them.

### Murmur Tower

When the Protagonist arrives at the Old Jul'far Ruins, Sayaka is already there, ready to heal your Pokémon. She gives you the option to listen to the history of Murmur Tower before heading in. Once inside, Sayaka tells the player that they can go on ahead, because she wants to explore the first bit of the tower.

### Nysa

Later, in Chapter 3, the player can find Sayaka at the Nysa Overlook. When talking to her, she says that she is looking for the palaces of the Three Princes, one of which is on Mt. Belial.

### Mt. Belial

Once the player collects the Quantum Mirror, they will be able to find Sayaka waiting for them at the entrance to the Glass Palace. She will help the player to open the doors to the palace, and will accompany them through it.

### Amon Desert

After completing the Glass Palace, Sayaka will ask the player to help her infiltrate the Alabaster Palace, which has been taken over by the Amon Bandits. She will meet the player outside the Palace, and then accompany them through it. Afterward, she will ask the protagonist to meet her at the location of the last Palace, in Eden, her hometown.

## Description

### Appearance

Sayaka originally uses the battle sprite of the Spelunker class, but changes to her own unique sprite after the cutscene in Granny's House, although this sprite is not yet visible in-game. Her overworld sprite is completely unique, though.

She typically wears comfortable adventuring clothes, particularly her mining helmet, and carries a large pickaxe. She can be distinguished from the standard Spelunker class by her unique outfit and long ponytail.

### Behavior

Sayaka is a very energetic person who likes adventuring more than anything else. She wants desperately to become her own woman and prove herself by her own methods. She is very intent on making her grandmother and father proud of her, but wants to do it in her own way.
