Sayaka Yabunmusan (夜分霧散=明か, Yabunmusan Sayaka) is the sole remaining member of the Yabunmusan Clan. After her clan was wiped out by a certain azure haired man, Sayaka escaped to Rukongai, where she met the also-fleeing Setsuna Murakami. The two became fast friends, due to their cirumstances and compatible personalities. Several years later, Sayaka and Setsuna enrolled at the Shinō Academy, where Sayaka aided Setsuna with her steep learning curve. After graduating, Sayaka became Hizashi Yoshi's lieutenant in the Gotei 13, though during the events of "A Certain Unlucky Person", as Hizashi was discharged, Sayaka was offered a position as an instructor at the academy. Sayaka saw this as an oppertunity to stay close to her best friend, and quickly accepted after learing of Setsuna jumping at the chance as well. Soft-spoken and polite, Sayaka has a forbidden love for Setsuna that serves as a catalyst for many actions that she soon regrets. After sacraficing herself to make sure a maddened Setsuna wouldn't die alone, Sayaka is unwillingly reborn as a Human in Akihabara, Japan. There, she manifested her Fullbring, and with the help of Gai Nagareboshi, returned to Soul Society to assist her students and peers for Part III of PersonaSuperiorDeus' and Koukishi's storyline. After achieving her completed Fullbring, Sayaka evolves into the first artificial Mototsu in existence.

Appearance

Sayaka is a beautiful young woman, with short, blonde hair that is parted in the middle, with her bangs framing her face and reaching down to her cheekbones. There is a single lock of hair that rests in-between her eyes at all times. She has emerald eyes. Sayaka's figure is perfectly proportioned; in addition, her breasts are bigger than Setsuna's, much to the latter's chagrin. She always wears rosary beads around her neck. Sayaka is often seen wearing a snow-white kimono with floral patterns, and an red obi sash is wrapped around her waist. She wears black geta. The reason that Sayaka has such unusual hair and eye color amongst her peers is because she is of mixed heritage: Sayaka is 1/2 English, 1/2 Japanese.

After becoming Human, Sayaka's attire changes to a sleeveless white buttoned shirt, tight-fitting black straight-legged jeans, and black sneakers. She also wears crimson fingerless gloves, similar to what Setsuna once wore. It is interesting to note that Sayaka's right eye is now a pale blue color, the same color as Setsuna's eyes once were.

Since becoming a Mototsu, Sayaka's body has become flawless and perfect. Her eyes have become a glowing magenta within blue, and her hair has grown down to her waist. The clothes that she now wears are of the highest quality, featuring, which features a sleeveless dark crop top, exposing a large portion of her abdomen, and a light hakama, that is tied using a white obi sash. The large piece of darker fabric that hangs from the center of this sash, is embellished with the image of two light circles merged together, with two circular cutouts.

Personality and Traits

Sayaka is a somewhat quiet and rather shy young woman. At first glance, she seems rather agreeable, to the point of being submissive, especially to Setsuna, but underneath this, Sayaka is shown to have an iron will, and can be rather stubborn and bull-headed when it comes to decisions she believes will hurt others if plans are wrongly executed, and as Setsuna states, "she's like a damn ox...". Her relationship with Setsuna is one of the closest around; the two are almost inseperable. Sayaka is rather pacifistic, and would rather be a noncombatant, preferring to find a more peaceful solution to quarrels, however, she will fight if it is absolutely neccessary. Sayaka can never just sit around upon seeing someone in a pinch and will go to great lengths to protect or help that person. Sayaka is in love with Setsuna, a fact that Sayaka attempts to hide from her due to fear of being rejected. Sayaka is absolutely devoted to Setsuna, and is willing to go to incredible lengths to make sure that she is happy, though most of the time, she is often going against her own personal beliefs to do so. When Setsuna was hospitalized due to an encounter with several Vasto Lordes, Sayaka sat by her bedside for three weeks without leaving once.

Sayaka attempts to take on a motherly-sisterly role towards Shion, and is often seen trying to help her grasp basic concepts of Shinigami arts. Sayaka is always willing to lend a sympathetic ear to others, and enjoys listening to them and attempting to help them with their problems. Sayaka is easy to approach, and tends to be able to earn the trust and respect of nearly everyone she meets. Gai Nagareboshi and Sayaka get along rather well, and can cooperate perfectly to realize their seldom joint plans.

After Setsuna went mad due to a number of contributing factors, Sayaka decided to attempt to snap her out of her frenzy, taking a more central role within the story. During their battle, Sayaka attempted to call out to Setsuna and force her to remember all the "fun we had together", only to be shot down by the now insane Kawahiru clanswoman who is beyond redemption in the eyes of everyone but Sayaka. However, after sustaining many blows in the battle with Setsuna and seeing her failure to reach her humanity, Sayaka sacrifices herself to not only kill Setsuna, but make sure Setsuna didn't die alone and to go with her into the after-afterlife, also allowing Shion, Naishō and Tsubame to escape safely.

Sayaka's beliefs often clash with that of the yūreiyushi, Timosi. Despite Sayaka attempting to be kind to the man at first, her catholicism got in the way of them establishing a friendship as she began to lecture him about religion on a regular basis, which irritated him due to his atheism. Because of this, Timosi developed a grudge against Sayaka, which was recouperated, culminating in him being glad about her mutual-kill against Setsuna, though he did show sincere regret at the loss of a powerful adversary. After her revival, Sayaka and Timosi had an amusing reunion.

After her revival as a Human, Sayaka retains most of her former personality traits, however, when alone or with the ones closest to her; she reveals that she is now highly depressed, due to her believing her sacrifice was in vain because Setsuna was Sayaka's best friend, and wanted to be with her in death, and now that they are no longer together, Sayaka must keep living. Another small change in her personality is that she mopes about Setsuna's death when others are not around.

Since becoming a Mototsu, Sayaka still retains most of her former personality traits, though in battle, she will show slight cockiness, though this is usually subdued by her gentle nature. Now confident once again, Sayaka is completely sure of herself, and seeks to use her reishi patterns to restore her beloved.

In some situations, Sayaka tends to kiss the rosary beads around her neck, as a form of prayer, wishing good fortune upon those closest to her and herself. Ironically, when she pray, situations tend to go awry incredibly fast.

Powers and Abilities

Despite her appearances as frail and weak, Sayaka is highly competent. She is noted by Haruko Kiseki as one of the greatest Shinigami to ever graduate from the Shinō Academy. However, due to her pacifism, Sayaka prefers to not fight at all, unless it is absolutely neccessary, or to help another become stronger so that they can protect others. In the one battle she did enter, she showed incredible power and skill; easily dominating her opponent before achieving a mutual kill to make sure she would not die alone.

Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Sayaka is a master of Zanjutsu, and excels at parrying her opponents' attacks. In battle, she utilizes an quick and elegant style, resiminent of ballet to confound and poke at her opponents with light, yet powerful stabs and slashes. As Sayaka's ancestors created the Kūjin (空陣 lit. "Shunya Formation") style, extremely powerful Zanjutsu techniques that were banned from being taught at the Shinō Acadamy due to their fearsome power and their life-threatening side-effects, Sayaka has access to all of them, and does not feel the repercussions of their side-effects.

• Hitotsume: Nadegiri (一つ目・撫で斬り, "The First: Killing Stroke"): This basic technique allows for a precision cut of extreme force and speed, it can casually slice through large, multi-story high opponents. The opponent can be killed with one swift slash so precise, that they aren't even aware of until after it has taken place.
• Kūjin: Yukikaze (空陣・雪風, "Shunya Formation: Snow-Bearing Wind"): Sayaka swings her blade at her opponent, releasing a deadly torrent of white wind that can freeze them.
• Kūjin: Gensō (空陣・幻想, "Shunya Formation: Fantasy"): Not Yet Revealed.
• Kūjin: Tenkei (空陣・天啓, "Shunya Formation: Divine Oracle"): Not Yet Revealed.
• Kūjin: Tenkai (空陣・天界, "Shunya Formation: Celestial Sphere"): Not Yet Revealed.
• Kūjin: Setsuri (空陣・摂理, "Shunya Formation: Providence"): Not Yet Revealed.
• Kūjin Ōgi: Bakunetsu Tenkyoken (空陣義・爆熱祢津天虚剣, "Shunya Formation Secret Art: Exploding Fever Heaven Falsehood Sword"): Not Yet Revealed.
• Kūjin Ōgi: Baku Kaitenshō (空陣義・爆怪転生, "Shunya Formation Secret Art: Exploding Wonder Transmigration of Souls"): Not Yet Revealed.

Incredible Strength: Despite her small size, Sayaka has phenomonal strength. An example of this is when facing down the maddened Setsuna, Sayaka blocked several of the latter's Kūjin (空陣 lit. "Shunya Formation") techniques, which is regarded as one of the most powerful Zanjutsu styles in Soul Society with her bare hands, a feat which even Gai Nagareboshi was unable to accomplish. She is also seen knocking Mei through a building with a flick of her wrist.

Shunpo Master: Sayaka is highly skilled in the art of Shunpo, with her speed being nearly comparable to Yoruichi Shihōin. She often combines Shunpo with athletic cartwheels, one-handed backflips, and rolls to achieve devastating speed. She can easily close tremendous gaps of distance in the blink of an eye while remaining undetected, as shown from her ability to surprise Gai and Setsuna after she interrupted their battle, who are two of the most proficient in speed-enhancing arts as well.

• Utsusemi (空蝉; Cicada, referencing their molting): Way of Onmitsu, 3rd of the Shihou. It allows for a movement at great speed, leaving at least one tangible after-image behind.
• Senka (閃花, "Flash Blossom"): A special Shunpo technique where Sayaka moves to her opponents back. Directly attacking and sealing one's "Saketsu (鎖結, Chain Binding)" and "Hakusui (鎖結, Soul Sleep)" in one strike. The movement is so fast that an opponent may not be able to tell whether he or she was attacked from the front or the back and even an outside observer may find it impossible to tell what the movements are.

Kōshinho Master: After her Mototsuification, Sayaka had learnt the Mototsu equivilant of Shunpo, Kōshinho (亢進歩, "Acceleration Step"). Despite having only picked up the art, Sayaka's skill in Kōshinho is incredible; she is able to move enormous distances in the blink of an eye, with her speed being only second to Gai's. She runs with long, elegant strides. The art of Kōshinho resembles inline skating.

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: While used less often than her Zanjutsu, Sayaka's proficiency in Hakuda is impressive. She is shown to use open palm thrusts and elbow attacks to overpower her enemy with ease.

• Tetsuyashi (鉄椰子, "Iron Palm"): Sayaka performs a powerful palm strike.
• Byakuraishō (白雷掌, "Pale Lightning Palm"): Infusing her arm with Hadō #4. Byakurai, Sayaka performs a powerful palm strike, which upon contact, discharges electricity.
• Hozanchū (崩山肘, "Mountain-Crushing Elbow"): Sayaka unleashes an exceedingly powerful elbow strike.

Incredible Speed: Even without the use of Shunpo, Sayaka is blindingly fast.

Kidō Master: While preferring to rely on her swordsmanship, Sayaka is well-versed in a mastery of Kidō. She is also able to mix it with other fighting techniques. In addition, Sayaka is highly knowledgeable and skilled in healing Kidō, and she is highly proficient in conventional healing techniques as well as herbal healing. Aside from the forbidden Hadō #97. Rengoku Hyōya, Sayaka has been shown utilizing Hyōga Seiran.

• Rengoku Hyōya (煉獄氷屋, "Purgatory Ice Night"): A forbidden offensive technique, similar to Hadō #96. Ittō Kasō. Utilizing the power of her manipulation over ice using Shukufuku Tenshi and using her soul and body as a catalyst, Sayaka concentrates all her power into her Zanpakutō and stabs it into the ground, causing a cage of ice to entrap herself and her opponent. After about five seconds of freezing her opponent, Sayaka then sheathes her sword, causing the ice cage to shatter, killing herself and her opponent on contact.

High Intelligence: Sayaka is highly deductive, and like Gai, is able to use observation and calculation to succeed when faced with a particularly powerful opponent. She has a good understanding of the human mind; more specifically, Setsuna's- Sayaka is one of the few people able to realize that Setsuna had a breakdown before she acted on her shattered mind and the reasons behind it.

Advanced Growth Rate: Sayaka's growth rate is frighteningly fast. During her training at the Shinō Academy, she grasped the basic control of advanced techniques in roughly one week each where it would take several weeks for even the most gifted Shinigami. She is also capable of completing Jinzen within roughly one year in the Dangai Precipice World, which even the strongest of the Shinigami in Soul Society will take thousands of years before it is completed. Sayaka also learnt her Fullbring in a matter of weeks, and figured out how to utilize her new Mototsu abilities within one month.

Vast Spiritual Power: Hailing from the Yabunmusan Clan, Sayaka has a tremendous amount of spiritual energy. She can release her reiatsu in a potent aura that takes the form of icy winds that surround her. As a Shinigami, Sayaka's reiatsu had the same effect as her Zanpakutō as it is an elemental representative of ice. Her reiatsu was said to be almost "vampiric" in nature. Even before she became a Shinigami, her spiritual pressure was immense and uncontrollable, not unlike Gai, and caused beings around her to slowly decay, namely her pet cat who lived with her at the time. Because of this feeling of lonliness due to others not wanting to approach her, Sayaka trained for one year in the Dangai Precipice World, and somehow achieved evolution into a dimension separate from Shinigami, as both Shinigami and Humans are unable to feel her reiatsu unless she voluntarily lowers her level and allows them to interfere, in the same way that a two-dimensional being is unable to interfere with a third-dimensional being, similar to Ichigo Kurosaki. After her Mototsuification, Sayaka has been noted on several occasions to have vast levels of spiritual energy well beyond other Shinigami, though it fluctuates wildly, with it being unreadable at its lowest point and at its highest point being as high as Gai's. Marian has said that Sayaka's reishi patterns are similar to that of the Hōgyoku. This works by materializing what Sayaka wants to happen. Her emotions also affect her spiritual energy.

• Telekinesis: Sayaka is able to use telekinesis with her reiatsu to levitate her Zanpakutō and use it to strike her opponents from afar, as well as call her weapon back to her hand.

Former Powers and Abilities

Before her Mototsuification, Sayaka had access to a regular Zanpakutō, and after her rebirth, had learnt Fullbring.

Zanpakutō

Shukufuku Tenshi (祝福天使, "Blessed Angel") is the name of Sayaka's Zanpakutō. When sealed, it takes the form of an azure katana, with the tsuba shaped like a halo. Despite its fragile appearance, Shukufuku Tenshi is able to clash with Setsuna's Hantonghaeng in its Bankai form with little effort; Sayaka was even able to push Setsuna back several feet in their third clash. "Shukufuku Tenshi", literally "Blessed Angel", is a Biblical reference, keeping with Sayaka's Christian theme.

Shikai: Unusually, Shukufuku Tenshi's Shikai does not have a release command. Instead, whenever Sayaka runs her hand along the blade, it enters Shikai instantly. In Shikai, Shukufuku Tenshi's blade becomes larger and elagonated, as the tsuba expands into several angelic wings. Droplets of light constantly scatter off of it's blade. The Shikai form of Shukufuku Tenshi is able to match with Hantonghaeng in Sinsaeng Jiongsu form.

Shikai Special Abilities:

• Gokōjin (後光刃, "Halo Blade"): Sayaka releases a flaming halo from her blade.

Bankai: Not Yet Revealed.

• Hyper-Speed Combat: Sayaka takes all the power of her Bankai and compresses it into a small, condensed form. Then, she uses the power of the Bankai to perform high-speed combat. Her new speed is so great, that it also enhances her Shunpo prowess and allows her to create dozens of afterimages to confuse her opponent.

Fullbring

Mastema Dokeem (マステマ・ドルキーマ, "Masutema Dorukiumu", "Flame of Hostility") is the name of Sayaka's Fullbring. Sayaka's Fullbring powers focus on changing the form of her rosary beads. By recalling memories of her and Setsuna's time together as friends, Sayaka causes her rosary beads to elagonate into a large, golden chain, similar to the chained-together segments of Setsuna's Hantonghaeng, with a grappling hook at the end. The chain can extend for miles at vast speeds, and possesses incredible blunt force. She can attack by launching the grappling hooks through enemies. After they have been caught, Sayaka often proceeds to slam them into objects (such as trees, the ground, boulders, etc). After Sayaka spends more time within Soul Society, Mastema Dokeem gains the ability to freeze opponents on contact. The reason Mastema Dokeem has taken on such an appearance and abilities is because during Sayaka and Setsuna's last moments, their souls merged; essentially becoming one and the same. The name "Mastema Dokeem" is a biblical reference, keeping with Sayaka's Christian motif.

Later, her Fullbring powers evolves so that they changed the appearance of her entirety, covering her whole body in a snow-white and red Reiatsu with an azure halberd, similar to Setsuna's Hantonghaeng forming in her left arm. Sayaka stated that she feels "Setsuna flowing through me [her]" whenever she utilizes her Fullbring. Her abilities are classified as a Clad-Type Fullbring, because Sayaka is shrouded in her own power, which resembles a kimono, much like her former Bankai. In this form, Sayaka is able to Fullbring even concrete and solid air in order to propel herself higher and at faster speeds. After Sayaka first achieved this second stage, Gai stated that all that is left to do is to beef up her new body and powers and then her Fullbring and Shinigami powers will fuse, giving Sayaka a power transcending that of a Shinigami, similar to a Mototsu.

• Ice Flying Sword (アイス·フライング·ソード, "Aisu Furaingu Sōdo"): Sayaka launches a crescent-moon shaped arc of ice at her opponent. This arc lets off a polar chill as it flies through the air. When it strikes her opponent, it explodes into many icicles that pierce them.
• Crown of Roses (クラウン·オブ·ローゼズ, "Kuraun obu Rōzezu"): Setsuna's signature technique, which Sayaka somehow learnt. Sayaka creates giant roses and spiked branches made from light that surround and bind the opponent.

Enhanced Speed: Through Fullbring, Sayaka can move far more quickly than usual, at one point catching Gai off guard by vanishing and appearing behind him with a punch readied. Sayaka's feet emit a flickering "Bringer Light," which indicates that it is preparing for her next high speed movement. Gai noted that the presence of the Bringer Light indicates that Sayaka is beginning to master Fullbring. During a certain encounter, Sayaka's speed is enhanced even further, as her Fullbring completes itself (not unlike her old bankai), as she was able to get behind Van Satonaka and stretch his face out on both sides to imitate a smile before he could even successfully react in the brief few seconds before Mastema Dokeem fused with the remnants of Shukufuku Tenshi, causing Sayaka's Mototsuification.

• Imitation Storm (イミテーション·ストーム, "Imitēshon Sutōmu"): Sayaka rapidly appears and dissapears around her opponent, creating thousands of illusions of herself that surround her opponent.

Evoke

Sometime after her rebirth, a strange power had been born inside of Sayaka's soul. This ability began to corrupt her Fullbring, and give her strange powers that react to spiritual energy based off emotion. It was not until her battle with Van Satonaka that Sayaka could fully stabilize and utilize these powers to their fullest extent. In her Evoke form, Sayaka's hair becomes much spikier, and it extends down to her ankles. Sayaka's eyes become reptilian and magenta within blue in addition to now being slitted in a 'cross-like' look, and she gains black sclera. Sayaka's skin is now a pale white, with the addition of black marks all over her body. She also has retractable claws on her fingertips and toes, small furry red tufts, two starting from her collarbone and stretching around her neck, and one each on her wrists and ankles. Sayaka now has a tail, which is capable of being used as a weapon or to lift and strangle a victim, and seven floating swords behind her back. In this state, Sayaka displays powerful abilities such as instant regeneration, growth of additional body appendages, the ability to move at the speed of light, and one other attack.

• Hakka Kōkan Hadōharetsuihō (発火光環波動破裂砲, "Ignition Corona Wave-Motion Burst Cannon"): A technique unique to Evoke Mode, Sayaka morphs the seven swords behind her back into an enormous cannon that floats directly above her head. The blades begin to spin around at inconceivable speeds, as reishi charges in-between them at an astonishing rate. After enough reishi has gathered, the cannon opens up to reveal an eye, which unleashes an exceedingly powerful titanic wave of reishi at her opponent that is capable of causing large scale destruction to a large portion of the surrounding area.

Mototsu Zanpakutō

Rettenjō (烈天上, "Violent Heaven's Maiden") is the name of Sayaka's new Zanpakutō. When sealed, it takes the form of a giant, orange medieval broadsword. Immediately after her Mototsuification, Sayaka could not control Rettenjō completely, which is what led to her loss.

Shikai: Rettenjō's Shikai is activated with the phrase "Deliver justice!" (正義を実現, "Seigi o jitsugen!"). When in Shikai, Rettenjō takes the form of a brilliant, massive golden blade (around five meters long), cross-guard, and hilt. On the blade, nine orbs are engraved, in a zigzagging pattern, and there is a red orb on the cross-guard. On the sides of the cross-guard, there are golden angelic wings. It has an even brighter trim around the blade, and around the orbs, there are crystals. The pommel is shaped like a 'S'. The blade of the sword glows all the colours of the rainbow.

Shikai Special Ability: Rettenjō's special ability is called Hakai (破壊 lit. Destruction), which is to destroy everything that the blade comes into contact with into pieces. By slamming the blade into the ground, Sayaka can also use this power to crush the ground beneath herself, softening it to cushion impacts.

Bankai: Mugendai Rettenjō (無限大烈天上, "Infinity Violent Heaven's Maiden"): In Bankai, Sayaka dons glistening white armor, opposite in tone to Setsuna's Sinsaeng Jeongsu. In addition, she gains two large white angelic wings, and an armored skirt with white thigh-high boots. In Bankai, Mugendai Rettenjō can morph into Shukufuku Tenshi, Mastema Dokeem, and Setsuna's Hantonghaeng.

Bankai Special Abilities: Mugendai Rettenjō gives Sayaka an entire slew of special abilities.

• Heavenly Body Manipulation: Like Setsuna's Hantonghaeng, Sayaka gains manipulation based around astronomical objects, such as meteors, stars and black holes. Sayaka can generate and manipulate the energy of the stars from her body and use it against her opponent. For example, starlight attacks, starchains or starbeams.
• Ice Manipulation: Mugendai Rettenjō's power is manipulating the water in the atmosphere. The ice Mugendai Rettenjō creates erodes life. Sayaka is able to shape the ice she creates into different forms such as a series of blades and is able to propel herself on one, in addition to being able encase her opponents in structures of ice, temporarily incapacitating them for ten seconds. The ice Sayaka forms is of a crimson color.
• All Destruction: Sayaka can destroy everything that Mugendai Rettenjō comes into contact with into pieces. By slamming the blade into the ground, Sayaka can also use this power to crush the ground beneath herself, softening it to cushion impacts.
• Chain Manipulation: Sayaka can elagonate the blade of Mugendai Rettenjō into a large, golden chain, similar to the chained-together segments of Setsuna's Hantonghaeng, with a grappling hook at the end. The chain can extend for miles at vast speeds, and possesses incredible blunt force. She can attack by launching the grappling hooks through enemies. After they have been caught, Sayaka often proceeds to slam them into objects (such as trees, the ground, boulders, etc).
• Hyper-Speed Combat: Sayaka takes all the power of her Bankai and compresses it into a small, condensed form. Then, she uses the power of the Bankai to perform high-speed combat. Her new speed is so great, that it also enhances her Kōshinho prowess and allows her to create dozens of afterimages to confuse her opponent.

Trivia

• Sayaka's birthday, March 14th, falls on the same day as White Day in Japan and Korea which is an mirror equivalent to Valentine's Day where girls respond to boys who gave them gifts on the said holiday. This reflects her relationship with Setsuna as her birthday is Valentine's Day.
• Sayaka is Christian, more specifically, Catholic. While it remains low-key, her last moments- praying for Setsuna before kissing her rosary beads around her neck- is a reference to how Catholics to kiss their rosary beads as a part of their prayer. In addition, her sacrficing herself to save Setsuna from her "sin" is similar to, well...
• PersonaSuperiorDeus was given permission to create Sayaka's Evoke and Trance abilities by Razeluxe91. All credit goes to him for these marvelous abilities, as he truly deserves it.
• Sayaka is the most "developed" of PersonaSuperiorDeus' characters, in regards to abilities.
• In contrast to Setsuna's surname, Kawahiru, which comes from kawa (カワ, lit. "daytime") and hiru (昼, "surrounding") which comes together as "Surrounding Daytime", the surname Yabunmusan comes from yabun (夜分, lit. "nighttime") and musan (霧散, lit. "dispersing"), coming together as "Dispersing Nightime". This reflects Setsuna and Sayaka's statuses as polar opposites, in both personality and appearance.
