Minor Characters

Minor characters of the BlazBlue and XBlaze universes.

Ayame Yayoi
Ayame Yayoi (アヤメ=ヤヨイ) is a woman from the Yayoi family who fought in the Dark War. Wielding the Sealed Weapon Izayoi, she ultimately lost her life to fulfill her mission.

Ayame was a minor character in BlazBlue: Phase Shift 4.

Appearance
Ayame is physically similar to Tsubaki Yayoi; a fair-skinned woman with red hair and blue eyes. She has straight cut bangs and her hair falls down to her waist with the end tied together with a silver, round ornament.

Her battle attire is similar to Tsubaki's own when using the Sealed Weapon Izayoi with some differences. She wears a light-colored hat with dark trim; the front of it has a circular design with two wing-shaped decorations sticking out to one side. Her clothing is white with dark accents and covers almost all of her skin. Her sleeves are cuffed and she wears no gloves. At her chest, she wears a cape and a high-collared shirt that has two dark lines running down to her waist. At the waist, she wears a dark sash that resembles flower petals. On the lower body, she wears white pants with dark metal plated boots.

Personality
Ayame appears shortly in Phase Shift 4 from Hakumen’s point of view. To him, Ayame was seen as similar to Tsubaki Yayoi.

Ayame had a strong voice, resolute will, and a desire to help no matter what. She respected Hakumen and considered it an honor to fight with him. During an ambush by the Black Beast, Ayame told Hakumen to leave everything to her and charged ahead without even waiting for a response. Wielding the Izayoi created an opening to allow the ambushed troops to retreat but at the cost of Ayame's life.

In her dying moments later at a camp, she laments her fear of death and desire to keep helping to Hakumen. Despite her finals words being that of a warrior, her voice was filled with sorrow.

Powers & Techniques
One of the first wielders of the Sealed Weapon Izayoi and one of the earliest wielders of Ars Armegis. Ayame was strong enough to be placed on the front lines of the Dark War and was put directly under Hakumen's command. Using Izayoi, Ayame had enough power to break through a trap created by the Black Beast and secure the safety of several soldiers using the weapon's light based powers. Doing so, however, was the ultimate-sacrifice.

Ayame had not tapped into the true power of Izayoi, and was only capable of using its Sealed Weapon form by the time of her death.
