Saaya Daishou

**Saaya Daishou** is Suguru Daishou and Seika Daishou's mother

* Pre-timeskip
* Post-timeskip

## Appearance

She has dark hair that is tied back into a bun. Her eyes are black and she has a normally tired or irritated expression on her face.

Post-timeskip, she let her hair grow out and now wears glasses.

## Personality

She's a competitive person who enjoys mocking others and doesn't get easily flustered or emotional when she is mocked in return, always having a good comeback.

Unlike her family members, she doesn't speak a lot and she doesn't express her emotions much. Even then, she enjoys the company of people around her. She seems to be more comfortable speaking around her family members and close friends.

Post-timeskip, she seems to be a kinder individual and speaks a lot more, although still enjoys teasing others for fun.

## Background

Saaya used to play volleyball at Nohebi Academy and was the captain of her team during her 3rd year of highschool.

## Plot

### Spring High Preliminary Arc

She is briefly shown in the stands and then shown again with Suguru after the match against Nekoma.

### Tokyo Nationals Arc

#### Karasuno vs Inarizaki

She's shown to be sitting behind Suguru and Yamaka, smiling occasionally at their interactions but watching the match very closely, not saying a word until the match was over.

#### Nekoma vs Sarukawa

Again, she's sitting behind Suguru and Yamaka and watching the match closely.

#### Nekoma vs Karasuno

She's now sitting next to Suguru, and occasionally giggling at Suguru's dislike towards Nekoma (Kuroo specifically)

## Relationships

### Suguru and Seika Daishou

They all care deeply for each other and Saaya sometimes practices volleyball with her kids. Suguru seems to always come to her for advice when it comes to being the team captain and he's more comfortable talking about his emotions to his mother. Although the two did have s rough relationship in the past, they eventually made up and have gotten better at communicating with each other. Saaya and Seika seem to have a lot in common despite their complete opposite personalities. Saaya is also very protective of her children and according to both kids, they both started playing volleyball to follow in the footsteps of their mother

### Yamaka Mika

They seem to get along well and they often paint together. Mika has also been in one of her mini movies alongside Suguru, Seika, and Chihiro

### Tetsurō Kuroo

Although they don't interact much, she seems to also make sly comments anytime he's around. She also knew Tetsurō's mother when she was in highschool, and was surprised to hear that she wasn't in Tetsurō's life anymore.

### Kaiya Kuroo

The two knew eachother in highschool and were rivals (and they apparently passed this rivalry on to their kids, although they considered eachother friends) but lost contact after highschool. She eventually asked Tetsurō about her and was visible upset about her completely leaving her children behind.

### Ayame Kuroo

They've spoken a couple times and talked about how Kaiya was when she was in highschool.

### Nohebi Academy

She seems to be familiar with the entire volleyball club (both boys and girls) and everyone seem to respect her very much
