Ayame Yayoi

Ayame Yayoi (アヤメ＝ヤヨイ) is Tsubaki Yayoi’s ancestor and the first wielder of the Sealed Armament: Izayoi. She was introduced in BlazBlue: Phase Shift 4.

Appearance
Ayame had long red hair that was held back by a silver ring similar to the ones in Tsubaki’s hair near the tip of the hairs. Her clothes, fashioned by the Izayoi, are the same ones to be donned by her descendant many years later; a creamy white outfit that leaves no skin open to the elements and that were accompanied by black boots, the only main difference being that she lacked the gloves that accompanied the outfit.

Personality
Although little of her personality is shown, she was shown to be a polite young woman with admiration for Hakumen, like her descendant.

History
Ayame lived during the Great Dark War, and was the first of the Yayoi family to wield the Izayoi. At the time, she was a mother and presumably married.

BlazBlue: Phase Shift 4
Ayame socializes with Hakumen and converses with the Six Heroes before going off to fight the Black Beast with her unit, giving them time to create Arch-Enemy Event Weapons. During the encounter, they are falling into the Beast’s trap, forcing Ayame to use Izayoi to break free.

She fullfiles her mission, but, due to Izayoi, loses her sight, and later dies.

Powers and abilities
She had high Magic Formula aptitude, which allowed her to wield the Sealed Armament: Izayoi. Unfortunately, she was not able to resist Izayoi’s side effects.
