## Profile

### In-game Description

*"A 15-year-old high school freshman. 163 cm tall. She is the only daughter of the owner of the world-renowned snack food manufacturer, Kamishiro-dou. Her grades are walys at the top of her class. She's a decent athlete, and even competed in national tennis tournaments during her junior high school days. She is strong-willed and quite prideful, but respects Maimi and Miu's seniority. She speaks her mind and so is constantly arguing with the equally strong-willed Kensuke. She always travels by car with her drive, the elusive Hattori, always at her side."*

### History

**Saya Kamishiro** is the daughter of the Touichiro Kamishiro, owner of Kamishiro-dou. She lives in Kamishiro Manor, next to the Sacred Land.

### Throughout the Story

#### *Prologue*

Saya is first met when the Protagonist and Kensuke see her getting harassed by upperclassmen. Whether they decide to help her or not, Mibu shows up and either remarks on their intent to leave or mistakes them for the ones harassing Saya.

## Personality

Saya is a very proud and strong-willed girl who often gets into arguments with Kensuke because of it. This can sometimes lead to her being bossy, such as when she decides to make the Protagonist her assistant for the day and orders him to help at later dates as well or has him buy her snacks. She also is quite prideful of her family, boasting of their achievements or holdings and defending their actions. Despite this, she is insecure about her age, believing the Protagonist doesn't take her seriously and thinks she's a child, going so far as to push him onto his bed and straddle him to dissuade him of this notion, though she stutters the entire time and is quite flustered when she hears the doorbell ring. She is also the only heroine to ward off the attackers when the Protagonist sneaks off with one of the girls during the festival.
