Sayo

Dear Guests, this Page is currently undergoing realization. Please bear with us as we fully realize the Page of Sayo!

“	If you're out of money, then you shouldn't have asked for more protection from us, no?	”
–Sayo

Sayo is a captain of the Kurokumo Clan.

Appearance

Sayo wears a loose-fitting, off-the-shoulder black Kimono fastened with a sash and wears a pair of Zori. Her hair is tied up in a bun, decorated with chopsticks. She has tattoos plastered on her shoulders in a similar fashion to Irezumi, a style of tattooing on the body performed by permanently in-laying the ink beneath the outer epidermis of the skin, using handheld tools to do so. This style and method is most commonly done from within the Japanese mafia, the Yakuza. She also wields a Katana, to further implement the idea of the Kurokumo clan being in similar nature of the Yakuza.

Personality

Sayo is a cunning and ruthless woman and clan leader. She has strong business sense, entrusted to carry out delivery of Nuovo Fabric to the Thumb , as well as producing income through 'protection' rackets that force Nest dwellers to pay a fee, else they face violent mutilation. Sayo is rather merciless, likely a mindset she adopted growing up in the Backstreets "covered in filth and blood". Though her policies are extreme, she understands her strength and decides to back away from fighting the lone Index messenger, knowing he would overpower her. However she still challenges formidable enemies to duel, such as the L'heure du Loup, to which she loses, and accepts the terms to go to the Library or face death.

Story

Eventually, Sayo along the rest of the Kurokumo Clan dies in the Reception. Dropping the Book of Sayo which may contain their Key Page.

Key Page Story

Sayo’s Page

The Hand of the Backstreets is possibly the biggest reason no one dares to take care of the lawless land that is the Backstreets; no Associations or Wings can touch it, and not even the Head itself can easily interfere. The five Syndicates at the apex of the Backstreets are called the Thumb, the Index, the Middle, the Ring, and the Pinky, namely. They parcel out districts of the Backstreets and comprehensively manage their territories, and periodically hold meetings to efficiently control the Backstreets. They call this conference the “Finger Bow-Bell”; I’m uncertain as to whether this name is meant to suggest that they actually make pinky swears not to invade each other’s territories, or if they call it as such simply because the Fingers gather in one place… The mind of higher-ups is a mystery, truly. Going back to the topic, when the Finger Bow-Bell nears, all members of the five Fingers will try to avoid conflict and refrain from causing big problems. It’s thanks to the leaders of each Syndicate who caution their subordinates that fights between smaller Syndicates could grow into a massive conflict between the big ones, perhaps… If subsidiary Syndicates ran into trouble, the seniors at the Finger Bow-Bell would be faced with quite the embarrassment, now wouldn’t they?

Combat Dialogue

Combat Entrance What a cute cluster of adorable little squirts~ Let us end this at a breath. If you insist on beating us so badly… Everyone, let us prepare ourselves. Victory Cry I hope this taught you a good lesson. This wouldn’t have happened had you just tucked your tails and surrendered… Sigh, what a pity. Death If only that bitchhead didn’t interfere with our business… On Ally Death Tsk. This is the strength of a nebbish who swore to protect me? This won’t do… You haven’t fully served your role yet. It seems the situation is headed to a rather worrying direction. On Kill You should’ve packed up and quit this occupation if you were so inept. You looked rather impatient~ Were you unnerved, perhaps? That was quite underwhelming for such a notorious faction.
