Saya

Saya (サヤ, Saya, also written as 沙耶) is a character who is introduced in Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage PSX.

Story
She is a foreigner from an unknown country, trained by her stepmother in Ritenkyo in the ways of assassin. She joins as a member to the "Atom Rebels", a faction which seeks independence from both the Bakufu government and the iron reign of the Razor Trio. She seeks to avenge the death of her family.

After the fall of the Razor Trio, Saya is confronted by a female ninja who claims to be a member of the Razor Trio called Benten, who is intent on finishing her mission of killing Saya's family. They fight one another with Saya emerging victorious. Benten reveals herself to be Saya's stepmother, who was also ordered by Oboro to assassinate Saya's family. However, she lost her husband during the mission, and started to question the motives behind the Razor Trio's ambitions. Benten urges Saya to kill her to complete her revenge. Instead, Saya spares her and decides to care for the rest of the orphans who inhabit Riten Kyo, leaving a proud Benten behind.

Personality
Saya is a gregarious and flirtatious woman. She acts as the sisterly figure for those in her village and Rinka. Although she acts flighty, Saya takes her missions seriously and won't quit until the job is done.

Fighting Style
Saya is close-combat, combo-oriented character with lowest damage output per hit in the game. However she is also very fast and her runaway game is heavily supported by her instant projectile, which doesnt allows opponent to reach Saya if used right. As double-wielding female character she takes place of Shiki in roster and has few similar slash attacks, but her fighting style is closer to Basara and ninja characters of previous games.
