She’s the eldest bastard daughter of the king. Her mother was a wealthy whore who was also a bastard daughter. Her mother was a lover of his for longer than the queen, but because of her status nothing could ever progress further.

As an illegitimate girl, Ayaka was raised to be a courtesan because it is the only way a girl like her can succeed. Hours spent perfecting musical skill and waltzes and how to dress and smile and please. She hated it.

She turns to knighthood as a way to chase glory for herself because she thinks it’s the only way to do so without powerful men looming over her and controlling her every movement. She’s proven wrong time and time again, of course, but it’s still better than the other path laid out before her. Her father indulges her because he’s interested to see what will happen.

She has a major insubordination issue. During training, she directly opposes what her masters tell her to do and she is constantly belittling her comrades of common blood. It takes multiple beatings and rough duels to get to her soften up a bit, but nobody can ever truly rid her of that haughty, cocky attitude (she’s such an asset that nobody truly tries that hard either 😭).

She prefers melee and close-range weapons. Archery is too quiet for her and she prefers to be in the centre where all the action is happening. Her favourite weapon to use is a short sword.

Her own short sword was a gift from her father and is wrought from dark, rare steel. In sunlight it has a deep crimson sheen to it, like a pool of blood. Its pommel is a carved lick of flames bursting from the end. She originally named it The Greatest but when her sisters told her that was stupid she changed it to Glory’s Heir.

Biggest lesbian and an even bigger whore. Tavern girls blush when her name is mentioned and so do prostitutes. Most of the men in her regiment are so envious of her and wonder how she does it 💀

Revels in tourneys!!! She loves the peacocking, but she also loves the fact that it gives her an excuse to knock knights and men she dislikes off their horses or fight them in the melees until they yield.

Despite having a competitive spirit, Ayaka never fights or competes dirtily. She is confident in her own skills in jousting and fighting and she does not believe in cheating. In a strange kind of way, she has a natural sense of justice when it comes to this.

Adding onto this, though, she loves flashy armour. The gleam of steel beneath a bright sun, an emerald velvet cloak about her shoulders to match her eyes, her very own sigil embossed on her shield and on her breastplate… nothing comes close and there’s a certain pride that she feels when people recognise her by her armour.

Her sigil is a bright red flame encircling a snowy white bat. She doesn’t share her father’s sigil because she is a bastard, so when she was knighted she had to create her own. She’s still bitter about the fact that she has no claim on the royal sigil.

She manages to liven up any festivity, whether it’s dancing in a shoddy, run-down tavern in the middle of nowhere or stifling royal feasts at the castle. She’s not afraid to eat, drink and dance and she just naturally loves to talk!!
