Ayase Ayatsuji

Ayase Ayatsuji is the daughter of Kaito Ayatsuji hailed as the Last Samurai and the late Ayako Ayatsuji. Differing from her father, she was a Blazer and training in the Ayatsuji Ittou-ryuu, but this came to an end after the brutal attack of the Sword Eater who put her father into a coma. Ayase became a third-year student in Hagun Academy and had the intent to enter the 62nd Seven Stars Sword Art Festival to win back the Ayatsuji Dojo from Kuraudo. Ayase is a beautiful seventeen-year-old young woman with jet-black hair that covers her forehead and right eye, dark brown eyes, a voluptuous womanly figure and to the point as being a Yamato Nadeshiko by Ikki, which Stella and Shizuki commented on even feeling threatened. Ayase is seen to be dressed in the school uniform of Hagun Academy but is also seen dressed in the training uniform of the Ayatsuji Dojo. Ayase is noted to be shy and anxious as proven in her first stalked Ikki around since she was too nervous around boys who were around her age, who wasn't her mentor or pupils from the Ayastuji Dojo, which has caused her to be unwilling to look one in the eye. As the daughter of the "Last Samurai", she had an interest and desire towards becoming a proper swordswoman, her nervousness seems to disappear when she trains as she was comfortable around Ikki who she was too anxious to look at. Despite Ayase's shyness around boys, she is still just as interested in love and romance as any other girl of her age. She even gleefully admitted to Stella that she was jealous of her relationship with Ikki and wanted to fall in love too. She also enjoyed asking and teasing Stella about the details of her love life. Despite her anxious demeanor, Ayase can also appear serious and enraged at times as first noted when Ikki had mentioned her slump was due to her imitating her father to the letter. It is noted one another occasion as she met Kuraudo who she harbored a deep hatred for again during her outing with Ikki and Stella. Due to the incident after losing her father and fellow pupils, Ayase develops a darker nature opposite to her father where she believed that anything goes as long as she wins as she initially tricked Ikki into using Ittou Shura hours before their match. But, deep down she regretted her actions toward her friend, although her regret over her actions ended up dulling her skills during their match, which Ikki noted was because she honestly didn't want to do such things to him.
