## Appearance

As a teenager, Sayaka is a well-fit girl with slim muscle on her arms and legs. She has narrow-shaped eyes with hazel brown colored irises, and narrowed eyebrows. She has ruby red hair that goes beyond her shoulders, as well as long chin-length bangs over her face, and a third strand of hair over her nose. Underneath her hair is shorter clumps from behind her head due to having grown out her undercut. One noticeable feature is a nick on her left ear's earlobe. Her usual outfit consists of a zip up hoodie, an oversized vintage shirt or tank top, and either ripped jeans or black pants with sneakers.

During school hours she wears her hair in a low ponytail with her clumps of hair left draping over her face and shoulders. She also wears prominent shorts underneath her school skirt.

As an adult, she has gained more muscle, as well as having a calmer expression and demeanor compared to her younger days.

In an alternative timeline, her hair grew a few inches longer, and is tied in a low ponytail with two shorter clumps over her shoulders. Alongside that, she wore a black tank top with cargo pants and dirty tennis shoes, plus a racer jacket slumped on her arms.

In another alternate timeline, being a Yakuza boss of Tenko, she wore a strapless sheath dress with kitsune masks and red spider lily patterns on the sides of the dress. Additionally, she wore a coat draped over her shoulders, and tattoos over her arms and legs. She also has the Tenko emblem on her back. Her casual clothes are a bustier top with black jeans and belt. Her hair is more messier in appearance as well.
