Saya

Saya is the younger sister of Jin Kisaragi and Ragna the Bloodedge. She is currently being used as a vessel for the Goddess of Death, Hades Izanami.

Information
Saya was born with a frail body, and throughout her life, she was bullied by her brother Jin. Her other brother, Ragna, was more caring, spending much time with her. Jin grew jealous of the relationship Ragna and Saya shared, and eventually attempted to kill her, two years after she gave Jin the Nox Nyctores, Yukianesa. She was kidnapped by Yūki Terumi on the day he murdered her caretaker, burned the church she was raised in for years, and he cut off her brother's right arm, and was given unconscious to Relius Clover. According to the Drama CD The Wheel of Fortune, Relius and Terumi were planning to use her body as a "Vessel" for something, later revealed to be the Goddess Hades Izanami.

Noel Vermillion/μ-No.12-, Λ-No.11- and ν-No.13-, are all copies of her, sharing her physical traits and some of her memories. However, the reason of why she is the basis has yet to be explained. During BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, it is revealed that Saya had been alive throughout the years, and that she was the Imperator of the NOL, while Hazama and Relius worked directly under her.

Since the day of her kidnapping, her appearance has changed vastly. She now has red eyes and long, purple hair. It is also interesting to note that she does not seem to have aged at all. Also, her personality is completely different, and she speaks in an archaic tone.

In The Wheel of Fortune Drama CD, which shows the timeline where Noel did not exist, it was revealed that Jin and Saya were very affectionate towards each other when they were young. They were happily playing together, and Jin's attitude towards Saya was completely different from the current timeline. Saya gave Jin a crown of flowers she had made, and said that she loves Jin very much. This is seen through a vision by Tsubaki Yayoi, and she immediately displayed jealousy towards Saya, screaming at her to get away from Jin.

Powers and Abilities
While she has not shown any specific abilities yet, the BlazBlue Material Collection mentions that she has incredibly high Armagus aptitudes.

As well as this, due to Saya being possessed by Hades Izanami, she is immortal, in the same way that Rachel is; however, unlike Rachel, she cannot die. Not even Hakumen's Time Killer technique is able to affect her, due to her not feeling time.

Appearance
Saya is a young woman with very long, violet hair tied into a ponytail, and soulless red eyes. She wears a white and red Japanese-style outfit reminiscent of an empress, tied with a light blue sash, with a golden crown and a dark cape over her shoulders.

When she was a child, she had medium-length blonde hair, green eyes, and wore a white dress.

Personality
Saya, at least when she was young, was generally a normal young girl who loved her family and always looked up to Ragna, but had a strained relationship with Jin due to his jealousy. Even as she is being possessed by Hades Izanami, the Goddess remarks that she can 'feel' the strong attachment that the real Saya has towards Ragna.

Saya also has a great hatred for Terumi, due to the fact that he destroyed her life, and used her for his plans to destroy the world. This hated is strong enough to affect even Izanami, who is normally emotionless, and simply dislikes him for his "playful" nature; Izanami clearly stated that those are Saya's feelings.

Trivia

 * In The Wheel of Fortune Drama CD, Terumi brought an unconscious Saya to Relius just after he burned down the church, while Relius commented that her body will be useful for a "vessel", implying that her role at the end Continuum Shift's true ending might be linked to possession, and not her actual consciousness. This is even foreshadowed by Rachel in her own bad ending, where she is not surprised to see Saya at all, asking her if she has finally "awakened". This was later confirmed in BlazBlue: Chronophantasma where it is revealed that Saya is being possessed by Hades Izanami; the Goddess of death.
 * The Material Collection mentions that Saya has incredibly high Ars Armagus aptitudes, and the reason she was raised in the church was to hide her from Terumi. This may imply that Terumi already tried to capture her sometime in the past.
 * For reasons unknown, her Japanese voice was redubbed for the release of Extend. This could have possibly happened because Kanako Kondō's performance sounded almost exactly like Noel and Mu, which would give away the Imperator's relation to them.
 * Saya, like Noel, has atrociously bad cooking skills, being able to turn simple jam into what could only be described as 'black sludge'.
