Aya

—and here's whoever said it

**WIELDER OF DESTINY.** An ex-assassin who used to charge for the price of cheap saké, but finds herself taking on a much greater hitlist. In order to save Hyuga, she takes the surprisingly divine title as The Sword Who Cuts the Heavens.

The journey proves to be an uphill battle as every choice challenges her reality in tandem with the consequences of her mysterious, gruesome past...

## TRIVI

* + Aya (理). The name means “truthful.” Got me into a world of trouble practicing the opposite. Everyone’s true colors will show whether we want it to or not.
		- Aya was originally written as 彩 meaning “colorful,” but the ronin would have no way of knowing it. In the end, both meanings are connected in some way.
		- Masashi would have written her name (あや) phonetically in hiragana.
		- Masashi’s dreams where Aya is revealed as the substitute teacher and she begins writing her name on the chalkboard would be 彩. To really hint how it’s not the real ronin.
		- To observe, deduce and find the truth. To be your true self.
	+ Chews on blades of grass or wheat to keep traumatic memories at bay. A way to neutralize some triggering tastes.
	+ Very low-key pescatarian diet (can eat fish & seafood).
		- Any other meat or poultry makes her queasy.
	+ Lost her sense of taste.
	+ Alcoholic. The type of drunk that drinks to forget. Not as irritable, mostly enhances her charisma but knocks out in a depression.
	+ There’s a deep scar on her left pinky finger from a promise made with Jun.
		- Jun has a similar scar on his own hand.
	+ Ambidextrous. Leans more to her left hand, but she was disciplined to use her right.
	+ Throughout the book, Aya’s attires will progress from monochromatic to more colorful palettes.

* + AYA’S KATANAS.
		- I would give Aya two katanas. The one from Gensai and her own Spiritual blade.
			* It would be given by Satsuma except it’s a crafted and painted wooden katana.
		- If the story changes to where the ronin uses Gensai’s katana throughout it all, I’ll make it so that the katana can switch forms.
		- The katana would gather the evil spirits and a yellow orb emits from one of the spaces on its handle. Almost like collecting fireflies in a jar.
		- When using Hell’s Release, the blade increasingly turns black and the engraving glows.
		- The sheath of the sword has a simple design, but towards the bottom is a withered tree meant to represent the apple tree from her childhood.
		- Jun’s katana that he leaves for the ronin in Book 2 would probably be what she carries in her reference sheet.
		- She always cleans and oils her swords.
			* Doesn’t like a rusty blade.
			* If she’s not in the mood to talk, she’ll unsheathe her katana to see if she can still see her reflection through it. It usually intimidates others.
