[gakunin]

Overview
Name	Sayano Gakunin
Race/Clan	Au Ra/Raen
Age	21 as of the beginning of ARR
Nameday	12th Sun of the 6th Umbral Moon (or...12/12)
Birthplace	On the sea, actually, a mere day before reaching the shores of Aldenard.  That’s Sayano for you, can’t wait for anything, not even for her mother to give birth in the presence of a midwife, or at least on dry land.
Guardian Deity	Llymlaen – what else do you expect of someone born at sea?
Job/s	Ninja – the old-fashioned way that had to go through pugilist too.
Hand/Land Disciplines	Carpenter, eventually goldsmith, too.  A little botanist where money becomes a problem for carpentry, but she finds it tedious and boring.
Grand Company	Maelstrom – she was always drawn to the sea in some way.
Free Company	The Hades Party – don’t be fooled by the name, it is not trying to summon a primal.  That said, Sayano doesn’t actually know the story behind its name.
Mount/Companion	Her Maelstrom-issue chocobo is named Argus, after an adventurer she met before the Calamity.  Like his namesake’s preferred clothing, his feathers are tinted pink, though a more delicate, pleasing (to her) shade than his bright hues of choice.  Argus is a worrywart, constantly glancing his rider’s way when they’re in combat together.  It suits the path of healing very well, though!  She’s also very fond of Maggie, considering she’s basically a giant rideable mammet.
Quick Profile	The least shadowy ninja you’ll ever meet, Sayano has an abundance of energy and sinks it into tackling the world’s problems because she’s always wanted to be a hero.

 

Who They Are
Pre-Game Backstory	Sayano’s parents are from Doma, but she never saw so much as the continent it resides on.  Hobbyist historians, the Gakunins saw the signs of coming invasion.  Luckily, they managed to come into a decent amount of money through their day trades (carpentry and goldsmithing, both of which Sayano has an aptitude for due to watching them) and used their savings to leave, eventually fleeing Othard entirely, under the pretense of collecting new pieces of history so as not to alarm their children.  With no fighting skills to their name, they relied on hired blades to protect them from wildlife and sapient assailants, and two of those adventurers would change them forever.  Sayano had always idolized those history called “hero”, and never seemed a good fit for a studious, tedious life.  They helped teach her how to do that.  She was going to join the Pugilist’s Guild with the younger of the two (she had fallen in love with him), but the Calamity intervened, and this adventurer, Ishgardian by birth, was keenly aware Sayano’s race may draw prejudice in Bahamut’s wake.  Her family left Ul’dah and Eorzea for five years at his urging – where they traveled, who can say.  But Sayano never forgot.  Realizing she could help support her family better by taking up arms instead of tools, she left for Ul’dah once more, hoping her first love was still there to help her on the path of adventuring.  On the way, she slept in the carriage, and her dream turned into a vision...
Personality	Sayano is characterized largely by her boundless energy.  Upbeat and impatient, she’s constantly moving unless she has some reason not to.  Her energy is not only cheer, and when she is enraged, her feelings run full force ahead of her mind, leading to reckless charges and a brilliant, burning fury.  Above all, she longs to both follow her dreams and use this success to someday aid her family.  The hardships she’s faced along the way have proven to be stumbling blocks, but they haven’t slowed her down.  Nothing slows her down.  She’ll take on any work, any time, because she can never have too much to do.  Her body does tire like anyone else’s, but it’s as if her mind never stops.  Even her dreams are vivid and bold – shame she has more cause for nightmares these days.  Her focus, however, is very narrow, and she’ll often forget details or not quite fully grasp a situation before charging into it.  It makes her seem less intelligent than she is – she’s no scholar, but she’s certainly not stupid.  She knows how to restrain herself if she needs to – easily playing the part of someone wiser and calmer when in company that would prefer to see a stoic nod for assent instead of enthusiasm.  All that says about her is that she doesn’t want to restrain herself most of the time.  She has taken a pragmatic laid-back attitude towards other adventurers, avoiding judging them because for all she knows, it will be their skills that keep her alive when she needs it most.  Eventually, she stopped caring entirely about things she might have objected to otherwise.
Original Supporting Characters	Parents: History nuts with crafting careers.  Their parenting was not perfect but didn’t particularly damage Sayano, either, save their refusal to put down roots.  Supportive of her endeavor to make a name for herself, even if they didn’t realize just how successful she’d be at it.   Michikazu Gakunin: Her older brother, content to follow in their parents’ shoes.  Calm and pacifistic.  Shows some natural proficiency in magic, but has never pursued it formally and can’t use it in self-defense.  He has just the right amount of patience to deal with his little sister’s boundless energy, and put up with her playfulness and mischief as they grew up.  After she left, he began hiding a flower in off-white paint in his facial scales, in homage to one of her favorite childhood pranks.   Rounaut: Her first love (and only, if you ask her), he was a young adventurer hailing from Ishgard who met her when he and his mentor Argus were hired to protect her family, as they journeyed through the Shroud and Thanalan.  She last saw him immediately following the Calamity, and has only recently learned his adventuring career was brought up short thanks to an injury left untended too long that necessitated the amputation of his leg.  Presumably, he has returned to Ishgard, but she doesn’t know for certain.   Argus: A seasoned conjurer fond of wearing the brightest pink he could find. He mentored Rounaut in the basics of adventuring as they traveled to Ul’dah to enlist him in its Puglisits’ Guild.  He gladly shared his wisdom with Sayano, as well, laying the foundation for a solid adventurer, with or without the plot’s help.  He perished in the chaos of the Calamity, leaving them to help a team whose healer had just been killed, to buy the innocents their retreat was covering more time.  When Sayano’s company chocobo showed aptitude for healing, she knew he had to take his name.   “Strongarm” Gharl: Originally Rounaut’s retainer, in a time when Au Ra were rare outside of Othard.  How they met, neither would say, but considering Rounaut’s departure from Ishgard for his adventuring and Strongarm’s occasional mention of family in the past tense, there are hints of a story in there.  With Rounat’s career-ending injury, Strongarm returned to the retainer system, and chanced upon Sayano as she was looking for one by twist of fate.  He has always been polite to a fault, and is very protective of Sayano.  Ishgard proper makes him highly nervous, so Sayano has begun teaching him ninjutsu to defend himself if need be.   Wuxi: Strongarm’s second wife, a Miqo’te with an aggressively boisterous attitude and a purple-dyed pompadour to match her loud personality.  They met through retainer services and have been inseparable ever since.  When Sayano brought Strongarm on, Wuxi came with him.  She doesn’t have the aptitude for battle that Strongarm does, but she’s got the patience for botany that Sayano doesn’t, making her invaluable to her crafting endeavors, so long as Sayano has the ventures to spare.
Motivations	This WoL is living her dream.  Being a hero and a source of inspiration to others the way the tales of historical heroes inspired her in her youth is everything she ever wanted out of life.  Sure, there’s been some trauma along the way, but it hasn’t stopped her from embracing everything she’s become wholeheartedly.  She still wants to track down her family someday and help them somehow – money, protection, chasing the Garleans out of their homeland... It may not be her homeland, but she realizes now her parents have never settled down because they will only consider one place “home”.
Common Activities	Working off all that energy is what she does in her free time!  She’ll pursue hunt marks, work on her carpentry or goldsmithing, or go to the Gold Saucer for a chocobo race or two.  Or three.  She enjoys the lively atmosphere in places people gather, so the rare times she actually slows down it will be to socialize or watch other people, or to keep her mind occupied with Triple Triad while her body rests (she’s bad at it).  She also loves all kinds of dancing, and can’t help but dance when given an orchestrion and nothing else to do.  You might also sometimes catch her trying to race against sharks off the shores of Costa del Sol.

 

How They Look
Character Model Differences?	Female Au Ra don’t have a muscle definition slider!  Her muscles are leanly toned, from all her hard work adventuring.
First Impressions	When not on official Scion business, she comes off as a bouncy Doman (she’s begun habitually dressing in Doman attire) who always seems to find something to be delighted at the sight of.  On business, she’s all calm focus.  At least a couple of the Scions are probably used to both.
Second Impressions	She’s craftier than she looks - she keeps her fighting style concealed, to keep the foe guessing up until she draws her weapons – she keeps her knives and throwing knives hidden beneath her long haori.  She also takes to stabbing her foes in combat with an enthusiasm that might be alarming to people who had met her under either of her first impressions – she has fun with her job, and considering that’s a combat class built on sharp blades?  Might come off as a bit scary in contrast.  She knows exactly where the fun ends, though, if you just bear with it.
Style of Dress	She’s settled largely on a Doman aesthetic, despite the fact that she wasn’t born there and has never seen it.  As such, any intricacies in how to wear some pieces or what is acceptable to wear with whatever else may be lost on her.  She is often seen in a long wave-patterned haori that conceals her weapons from view until they are needed.  Instead of the traditional hakama bottoms, she wears a closed (but still Far Eastern) garment instead, to facilitate range of movement.  It’s a versatile look, comfortable enough for casual downtime but pretty enough for formal occasions.  In the water, she wears the tiniest black swim halter (you all know the one), and she once had its matching bottom half, but when a recent Moonfire Faire distributed some clothing that absorbed her favorite color’s dye, she replaced it.  Sure, it’s more cloth than she’s used to swimming in (she didn’t even own swimwear before her adventure, not having opportunity or cause to swim in public), but it’s an adorable little swim skirt with a bow, how could she refuse! While crafting, she tends to dress in whatever is most easily available, but as her skill is refined and she gets better at not messing up whatever she’s wearing in the process, she’ll probably start looking at fashion.
Combat Style	She has an unfortunate tendency to not watch her surroundings, with a laser focus on her current targets.  When new foes arrive, she often misses them until she notices someone else in her party aiming for them.  Aside from that, most of her combat style is typical ninja.

 

What They’ve Done
Major Canon Differences?	Mostly she stays MSQ-compliant.  There are a couple detours such as being incapacitated for several days after the post-Titan massacre when she charged recklessly at the imperial castrum in La Noscea until she was overwhelmed and forced to retreat, but at no point does she actually leave the quest rails.
A Realm Reborn	--At first she went pugilist, hoping to find some mention of where Rounaut might be, if he still lived.  Why she wanted to find him seemed to change from day to day.  Filled with dreams of being a hero, she didn’t care much for the earlier “errand girl” sidequests, but she did them anyway, knowing the practicality of making a reputation for being dependable.  Eventually, she came to love these “pointless” endeavors, going so far as to do everything the incapacitated Deputy Postmoogle asked of her even after she’d made the most heroic name for herself possible.   --Setting foot in Limsa Lominsa was like coming home, when she’d never had a home.  Maybe being born on the sea was of more consequence than anyone realized, but she spent hours simply taking in the sights and exploring the decks.  It became the center of everything for her – the home to her Grand Company, the residential district that she would live in, the aetheryte her spirit always knew how to find, no matter how close to death.  She stumbled upon the hidden Rogues’ Guild, and fit in very quickly – it entailed the same very short range and fleetness of foot her pugilism skills called for.  It would eventually lead her back to her Doman roots as the rogues crossed paths with ninjas from the Far East.   --Titan – or the events shortly after defeating him – was the big turning point here.  It was the first time since she left her family her energy ran in rage rather than cheer, leading her to first cry for divine vengeance when she reached the church, and then later drove her into a blind fury against a Garlean castrum that likely had nothing to do with it directly.  Her inability to do anything forced her to confront the option Alphinaud presented, the one that essentially left her friends in the Scions for dead.  The arduous trek through Coerthas helped cool her temper and strengthen her patience, even if she was left someone quieter after it.  She trained with her ninja allies for a good while during the stretch of time before facing Garuda, and when Oboro asked her why she fought, she realized she could no longer say for sure.   --When Gaius asked her the same, she had found it again: Freedom.  Her cause for adventuring had been to be a hero, but her cause for being a hero was to preserve freedom.  She wouldn’t reveal her true motivations to her enemy, however, and said she fought for herself.  She did start out fighting for herself, truly enough, but when she actually became caught up in everything, when she shifted from pugilism to roguery to ninjutsu, the way she fought and her expectations for battle changed. The Garleans take what they want, and even if they bring stability and peace to a land, what right do they have to ravage it in the process? Does that excuse their soldiers' actions during conquest?  She found herself just before the fight that would give her the honor of being called a Warrior of Light.   --As things began to fall apart, as she was stripped of Hydaelyn’s blessing and as she stood accused of regicide, friends leaving her left and right, she held together where she once had not.  Still frightened, still hurting, but actively and acutely seeking solutions, rather than letting them get ahold of her.  If they can have faith in her ability to repeatedly outmatch primals, she can have faith in their abilities to escape seemingly certain death.  They are all Scions for a reason.  She fears for them, but- recognizing how strange Haurchefant’s immediate and overwhelming concern over the confrontation with Iceheart was to her- feels she should not underestimate them.
Heavensward	--It was as plans were being made to seek refuge in Ishgard that she thought of her ninja friends.  Excusing herself from the intercessory, she teleported to Wineport, and hurried to see if her misplaced infamy had harmed Oboro at all.  What she found was a sudden royal ninja running around stealing back things that were once hers.  And, luckily, no trace of anything that had happened in Ul’dah.  Back to the main story rails she goes, before she draws attention to her whereabouts and thus Oboro and Jacke and their involvement with her.  She did tell Oboro where to direct any delivery moogles, if word of their blade-dancing princess was heard.  Now that she knows events have been kept under wraps, is probably going to relax a lot more about visiting him.   --Finding Ishgard more welcoming than she had initially believed, she took to exploring, looking for information on Rounaut.  Strongarm had been absolutely certain he’d survived, and she hoped to at least find his family.  Alas, no such luck so far.   --On hearing the Sultana was in fact alive, Sayano spent some time in Ul’dah hiding out in the Goldsmith’s Guild, working on her craft while listening for gossip.  It was a welcome lull of peace, one she needed as she dove headlong into the truth of the Dragonsong War and all the sacrifices it would entail.   --The main quest and her job dovetailed horrifically, with a trusted friend (whose handsome eyes she never did get around to complimenting) dying to protect her while the charge she was meant to protect, the ninja princess, was in captivity with no word from Oboro yet on whether or not to proceed.  It was enough to shake her from the high of being a real hero like she’d always dreamed.  But Haurchefant’s last words had been to bid her to smile, and she quickly found cause to do so on the streets of Ishgard, finding a kindly cook who wanted to lift the spirits of the populace by providing them with a free hot meal.  Sayano spread the word and sat to enjoy it, herself.  Her energy was renewed, and she tackled the return to the Sea of Clouds with vigor. (She still had to teleport home to the privacy of her apartment the second she found an aetheryte and cry her eyes out though.  A good cry had been a long time coming.)  She briefly considered learning a tank-style combat discipline, as if she could prevent this kind of thing from happening again, but remembered that Haurchefant himself had wielded a sword and shield.  All it would have accomplished would be an ineffectual fight to take the blow before it landed wherever it may.   --Things began to pick up again when Y’shtola was rescued from the Lifestream.  She found herself willing to go on personal detours again, time permitting, and when she followed a hunt mark into the Churning Mists, she realized that in her absence the moogles had come to desperately need a lot of help, and they were simply too cute for her to refuse.  She spent some time there helping them before returning to rendezvous with her party on the way to the Dravanian hinterlands, giving the conjuror some extra time to recover.   --She was never fond of Estinien, but after watching Ysayle sacrifice herself, she’s determined not to let any other allies die if she can help it.   --Highly interested in these other Echo-blessed people.  How do Warriors of Darkness even come to exist?  And they were fighting the Ascians too? (Group teleports confirmed here!) She thinks, with Dun Scaith looming in her future, having potential allies would be a good thing.  She is glad to have Thancred accounted for again, at least.   --Took a brief Hildibrand-styled detour on the way back from gaining Vidofnir’s acceptance, only to return to find Aymeric had been attacked in their absence.  Peace can never last long...a pity her new mammet friend didn’t have the energy to restore his wounds then and there.   --The loss of Minfilia hit her hard, sapping away even her boundless reserves of energy for a time.  There was nowhere to turn it, after all, no enemy to seek revenge against.  Minfilia had, after all, given herself freely, to a good cause, and there was nowhere for her grief to go.  Her positive attitude had become something of an internal calling card, so unbridled grief with no clear direction vexed her.  Most of the Scions, she couldn’t tell.  Those that knew had their own ways of seeking comfort, and she couldn’t pour her energy into giving to them.  All of her own seemed dull and lifeless.  She hoped, though it was a distant one, that the peace conference Aymeric had organized would pick her back up, or if not that, the offered drink too soon on the heels of the loss of not one but two friends who had never offered her anything but support and shelter.  Perhaps when they found the time, she could find it a more pleasant prospect again.
Stormblood	(tbd)
NPC Relationships	Thancred: Easily distracted by Thancred, but has never found the opportunity to actually flirt back because she’s always being called on to be professional.  That aside, she feels bad for all he’s been through and wants to keep being a reliable friend for him.  She can’t even fault his eyes constantly wandering because, hey, she’s pretty much the same way.  Disapproves of the whole...deceiving thing, though.  Maybe don’t pursue women who are only looking for an exclusive thing?  The fallout from that is all on you, okay.  She’d like him to be able to participate more meaningfully in the future, as he seems to be attempting to live up to the direct usefulness of people like Y’shtola and Alphinaud.   Yda: She likes Yda – it’s nice to see people with boundless bubbly energy like herself can amount to as much as they do.  She even seems to have the same tendency to forget little bits of information she does?  She could definitely just hang out with Yda if Scion stuff ever lets up.  If she survived.   Alphinaud: Kind of irritated by him at first (she never quite forgave him for seeming to immediately write off the Scions as dead), but warming up to him as of 2.4 onwards.  Okay kid.  Much more sympathetic towards him after the fiasco at Ul’dah, and is afraid that some of his ambition matches her own too closely.  Is there anything behind her quest for heroism beyond the dazzling spotlight of glory? (Freedom.  She figured it out, herself.)   Haurchefant: Oh no those eyes he’s more distracting than Thancred why.  Is it okay to flirt with a noble if they flirt first because she definitely saw that in his posture at points?  She has literally stared at him speechless over those eyes like a moron, this is embarrassing.  (That is how I am interpreting SE’s butchering of that scene and nobody will stop me.)  Also he’s expressed by far the strongest concern for her safety out of everyone and it feels extremely weird, especially when she begins to realize her definition of a “normal” risk is so very, very skewed and maybe he’s the more normal one.... She has no idea what to do here, honestly. (Makes one wonder what would have happened if she hadn’t missed that one Heavensturn...)  Eternally grateful for his immediate offering of support, happy to call him a friend.  Infectious enthusiasm. (HW EDIT: CAN HER FAVORITE PEOPLE STOP DYING PLEASE)   Ysayle: It is not fair that someone so beautiful had to go and be on the other side.  Yes, Sayano is a bit shallow.  I’m sorry. HW edit: She’s absolutely delighted to be working with her and likes her more than the Ishgardians (aside from the ones she obviously really likes).  Also, entranced by moogles’ cuteness?  Sold. (EDIT: WILL HER FAVORITE PEOPLE PLEASE STOP DYING ALREADY)   Oboro: Teacher-friend.  Endearing, handsome, skilled, and ugh she doesn’t want to be the one to tell him about Doma.  Keep safe at all costs.   Jacke: She misses the Rogues’ Guild and him with it.  They were fun to fight with and had their own charm.   Yugiri: ANOTHER AU RA she could cry.  Sure, there are a fair few enlisted in various Adventurers’ Guilds but she’s almost never seen any outside of that until now.  Has a bizarre desire to impress her beyond her Warrior of Light title.  Feels less bizarre since her rescue of Tataru.  Now it’s just repaying the favor. (also are her facial scales and horns iridescent she has never seen that before, so pretty!!!)   Emmanellain: Friendly, more open than most of his household.  Consider her intrigued.  His enthusiasm is endearing.  New friend?  New friend!  ...He could use a bit of field practice, though.  Otherwise not a friend to fight with.  Would make an entertaining drinking buddy, at least.
PC Relationships	On request during RP they do!  Otherwise I default to no.  Occasionally I may take a PC’s general stats (race/sex/job) and use that as a generic stand-in if anything particularly interesting happens, but no other PC is explicitly used without permission.
Public Perception	She absolutely adores the fame, it’s everything she’s wanted – even the fetch quests she started out thinking weren’t suited to her goal she enjoys doing.  ...Which means she can never level DRK and still be canon, ever.  She’s more likely to feel fatigued than taken advantage of, if she ever resents a series of mundane tasks for any reason.
Residence	She has an apartment in Mist!  It’s very much a work in progress.  She favors seasonal knickknacks and Doman and Maelstrom wall décor.  As a carpenter and goldsmith, some of her furniture is of her own making.
Is Hildibrand Canon?	Yes! (She thinks Briardien made a mistake in his relationship choices, regardless of the truth, still not quite ready to trust Ellie.  Also what is Gilgamesh, even?)

 

Trivia
Likes/Dislikes	Likes: cute things, an unhealthy amount of grape purple, an equally unhealthy amount of shaved ice, having something to occupy her hands and feet and mind and everything, being helpful while also having something to do.  Also people that don’t judge her for not wanting a committed relationship.  More on that in the appropriate section.  Tension weather and challenging fights, the smell of the sea, knowing she’s doing good and heroic things.  Mammets and magitek too (despite hating Garleans, she’s fascinated with magitek).   Dislikes: Garleans.  Dear gods, Garleans. People who would take advantage of other people, people who would forcibly take what they want from other people, people who think kindness inevitably entitles them to reward, adventurers who don’t appreciate the way the rest of their party saves their life, people who think high sex drive means she’ll just take any invitation, no matter what the other person acts like, people who think flighty equals stupid, racists...know what?  “Jerks, up to and including criminal jerks”.  Those are her dislikes. That, and she hates the way Ishgardian Elezen have this way of making her feel very small in a way other Elezen or Roegadyn don’t.  Very cold and/or very dry climates, they make her scales dry out and itch.
Fears	Losing her friends, being solely responsible for a life, failing to measure up, mostly it all ties back to “failing horribly at this thing she left everything she knew for”.
Virtues/Strengths	She never fucking gives up, and the fact that she can’t keep physically going on forever is the only reason she stops doing anything.  She has a good heart and generally wants to help people in need, even when it conflicts with that fear of being solely responsible for a life.  Zero shame*.
Vices/Flaws	She’s a goddamn workaholic.  She can’t stop.  Also, she’s flighty and tends to forget details, she has a shallow view of attractiveness (and is easily distracted by such), and absolutely zero shame*.  Yes, that’s a flaw and a strength at the same time, if highly contextual.
Habits and Quirks	Flirting is fun!  She’s not particularly good at it, though.  Has a Happy New Chocobo on her bedside cabinet she always wobbles for luck on entering and leaving.  Loves dancing and will gladly follow along if someone else in the room begins to dance.  Collects dance manuals.  Collects mammets.
Moral Convictions/Alignment	In a word: Heroic.  Literally.  She wants to be a hero, consciously and subconsciously.  She’s inclined to help the helpless and defend the defenseless and can’t turn down a request for aid.  ...Not necessarily applicable to her glee at getting in a good combo in combat.
Regrets	Having to wait so long to rescue the Scions after the mess post-Titan, and of course not being able to do anything for Haurchefant or Ysayle.
Languages	Without the Echo’s help, she speaks Eorzean and Doman.  She can only write basic Doman, but has good written fluency in Eorzean, and has a good grasp of reading both.  Her handwriting, however, is awful.
Diet and Favorite/Least Favorite Foods	Sayano is damn near carnivorous if you’re not talking sweets.  Give her all that delicious protein.  She’s particularly partial to seafood and eggs.  Not necessarily in combination.  Shaved ice, too.  Don’t make me screenshot her table full of the stuff.
Voice	I don’t remember her voice setting but it’s one of the higher-pitched nasal ones.  Impressive pout, not so impressive when you consider it belongs to a legendary hero.  She also is remarkably difficult to pin down dialect-wise because constant travel as a kid meant picking up a whole bunch of language uses at once.  She just kind of uses whatever she wants and tends to drift towards similar usages as whoever she’s talking to.
Zodiac	I think she maps to Sagittarius?  She’s a decent-ish fit.
Personality Tests	Haven’t taken one of these for her!  I’ll update this if I do.
Secrets	Mostly she tries to seem more stoic than she is a lot of the time?  But she lets that façade drop pretty easily.
Religion/Spirituality	Sayano’s religious leanings are extremely casual.  Her guardian deity started as a joke, of all things – she was born at sea so of course the Navigator could be the only one watching over her, right?  She always talks about the Twelve as a group, though, and never seems to actually single out any of them for anything.
Education/Academics	Piecemeal.  She’s well-read because her parents are nerds but she didn’t get any formal training in anything until she left to go do her own thing.  She would be awful at typical academic structure.
Skills/Talents/Hobbies	Carpentry, goldsmithing, dancing, chocobo racing, swimming...keep her active, basically.
Sexuality and Romance	Sayano is bi with a preference for men, with a high drive.  She is more or less allergic to commitment, owing to the way she grew up in combination with the Calamity’s poor timing.  Or maybe she’s aromantic, who knows.  Hard to say, with a sample size of exactly one.  She’ll take as many friends with benefits arrangements as she’s offered (provided they are friends), and isn’t opposed to a bit of victory drinking getting out of hand with strangers, provided the person she winds up with isn’t an asshole.  Despite her size, she holds her liquor fairly well and it takes a great deal to trick her into thinking you’re worth her time if you actually aren’t.  Knowing full well hearts could be broken if she didn’t, she’s very up front about what she wants – or doesn’t, in this case.  People looking for something more serious will be advised to look elsewhere.
Fun Facts	Nothing jumps out at me, but keeping this space so I can add things later!
