Sayu is a supporting playable character in the 2020 Open-world roleplaying Fantasy video game Genshin Impact. She is a ninja from the Shuumatsuban.
Appearance[]
Sayu is a short young female who is said to be pint-sized. She has short beige hair and reddish pink eyes.
Her outfit, which includes a hoodie with a leaf on top and a tail, is styled after a mujina. She wears a short kimono with floral patterns and short purple sleeves and a black sash wrapped around her waist. She has a pair of fingerless gloves, with one going past her elbow and the other ending at her forearm, along with a pair of black handguards. She always keeps her hood up, which has mujina ears and a leaf resting between them. She additionally wears blue sandals with a ribbon wrapped around her right ankle. Her Anemo Vision is attached to a sash that she wears on her left thigh.
Personality[]
Sayu is a seemingly eternally sleep-deprived ninja who uses her skills to hide from work and responsibilities. She is deeply unsatisfied with her height, and believes that sleep can help her grow taller. In order to live by this principle and have as much time to nap as possible, she honed her ninjutsu to perfection.
While she is particularly renowned for her apparent laziness, the members of the Shuumatsuban know that she is loyal to their cause as she would never go against their principles and wouldn't slack off on extremely important matters. Ayaka believes that Sayu's laziness came from her sensei's abrupt departure, as she looked up to them and when they left, became lost and confused.
From Sayu’s point of view, her so called laziness is just better time allocation which allows her to focus on things like sleeping and growing taller. She dislike being patted on the head, believing that head pats would impede her growth. She tolerates headpats from both the Traveler and Yae Miko, although the latter is out of fear of retaliation by the Guuji.
While a particularly skilled ninja, Sayu usually handles reconnaissance and other miscellaneous tasks. While she is trained in combat, the arts she learned were mostly intended for stealth and evasion. She appreciates the Traveler's company, willing to work harder for their sake. While dressed as a mujina, who she finds extremely adorable, Sayu becomes angered whenever people call her a tanuki, even going as far as to attack them.
Biography[]
Sayu is a ninja from the Shuumatsuban, a clandestine organisation led by Kamisato Ayato, and has been raised by the organisation’s elders since she was a child. Unlike her peers, Sayu retained the stature of a child, which greatly bothered the petite ninja. To solve this problem, Sayu has honed her ninjitsu techniques to evade work and sleep as much as possible to grow taller. She was trained by her sensei for years, and once she was capable enough to defend herself, her sensei left quietly. Her sensei’s abrupt departure left Sayu lost and confused, which seems to be a cause of her laziness.
