Aya and Saki

Aya is a master swordsman and a member of the Baneful Bloodline. She is an Undead hunter with the iconic fashion sense of wearing a cowboy hat, a feather boa, and a stylish bikini in battle.

Aya Appearance: Aya is known for her bewitching beauty and her fit and slender (and very attractive) body. Almost like a supermodel for assassins, Aya's tall figure sports well proportioned assets, such as her C-cup breasts, as well as long, wavy, brown hair, large, light brown eyes, full, pink lips and a beauty mark under her left eye. Her lithe and athletic frame lends well to her assassination work. Famous also for her eccentric fashion sense on missions, Aya commonly wears some variation of a very detailed and extravagant bikini, accompanied by an equally luxurious feather boa, navel piercing and thigh-high boots, all topped off with, curiously enough, a cowboy hat. She also has a tattoo of a rose, with the thorny stem curling around her left bicep and another tattoo of a winged heart on her lower back.

Aya Personality: Aya exudes a "cool beauty" type aura. She is a calm and confident woman who rarely lets anything upset her composure, unlike the brash Kagura. Even when she was motivated by revenge when Saki killed her father, she continued to speak in a calm but assertive tone towards her before their battle. She is professional in her relationships with individuals such as Anna. Although Aya rarely expresses any emotion other than calm composure, she is able to subtly express love and care for her half-sister Saki. After hearing a near-death Saki's wish for Aya to understand her, Aya gives up her will for revenge and thinks of nothing else but to save Saki. Although its canonicity is questionable, Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers somewhat explores the psyche of Aya, revealing existential fears such as Aya questioning the purpose of the Baneful blood and wondering what the future holds for Aya and Saki. Aya also shows loving concern for Saki, wishing for her sister to live a normal life and finding true love. It is also revealed before her battle with Reiko that Aya also wishes for similarly "girlie" things like love. Aya has a slight tendency towards joking around, as evidenced in Onechanbara Special by her suggesting to break the memory orb to potentially release the main girls' memories. Although Kagura and Saaya are technically Aya and Saki's rivals, Aya in reality is actually fond of the Vampiric sisters, even if Kagura is a bit on the slow side when it comes to connecting the dots.

Aya Abilities:

Master Swordswoman: Far greater than those of her sister, Aya's skill with the katana is almost second-to-none. Having trained from a young age and possessing an overwhelming aptitude for the art, Aya swiftly dominated the blade so much to the point where it became an extension of herself. Never one to slouch or wait on others, Aya doesn't just know how to swing a katana, but she's also an experienced blacksmith, having been taught by her father years ago. Aya spends the time forging, honing and perfecting her own weapons and routinely makes considerable improvements upon their designs, taking what she's learned and using it to create even stronger and more versatile katanas to take into battle. Aya also maintains a very high level of skill and precision with throwing knives, keeping several on her person at all times and regularly imbuing them with her own energy in order to make them pack as hard a punch as possible.

Energy Manipulation: Like many other Banefuls, Aya is able to manifest her aura in such a way that she can manipulate it into lethal bursts that she commonly uses to bolster her sword fighting capabilities. Jade in color and having much in common with the natural properties of the wind, Aya's energy has allowed to move in a way that mimics air itself, often tormenting around her body as she blitzes unscathed through enemy hordes and cuts relentlessly through enemy guards faster than the blink of an eye.

Hand to Hand Combatant: Although it is not nearly as strong or skillful as her sister, Aya still has considerable prowess when it comes to hand to hand combat. Focusing instead on her lower body, Aya is adept enough to perform precise, devastating kicks strong enough to pierce metal and stun even the toughest of enemies. Accelerated Perception: Same as Banefuls like Saki and Evange, Aya possesses the ability to momentarily perceive everything at an accelerated rate by closely watching enemy movements and acting at the last second, allowing her to completely dodge all manner of attacks including AOE techniques and bullets, and counter enemies that otherwise would have been too fast for her to react to.

Enhanced Speed: Due to her enhanced conditioning and physiology, Aya is able to effortlessly move at speeds pushing the boundaries of what a human being is capable of on a regular basis.

Skilled Acrobat: Both Aya and her sister have been shown to possess such skills in agility and acute awareness of their own bodies that they qualify as superhuman. Xtasy: After being bitten by Kagura, the mix of Aya's Baneful blood with toxins from the Vampiric Clan served as the catalyst to a premature evolution of her Baneful abilities. The result is a Baneful transformation garnering greater power than Berserk Form, mutating her appearance while exponentially increasing her speed, strength and durability.

Saki is the half-sister of Aya and a member of the Baneful Bloodline. She has a greater susceptibility to go Berserk compared to Aya due to being a descendant of the head family of the Baneful Bloodline. She dresses modestly in a Japanese school uniform and later a gothic lolita dress specifically for this reason.

Saki Personality: Unlike Aya, she is short tempered,and feisty. Also foul-mouthed. Ruthless in combat. Fiercely loyal to her big sister.

Saki Appearance: Like her sister, Saki maintains a toned and conventionally attractive body, though unlike Aya, she doesn't particularly care for showing it off. Perhaps in line with said juxtaposition when it comes to their appearances, Saki's frame is rather subdued in comparison with her sister's and despite being extremely toned, slender and (despite her stature) very lean, is still overall very petite. Saki has hip-length jet-black hair, almond shaped, amber-colored eyes, lightly tanned olive skin, A-cup breasts, full, pink lips and and just like her sister, a beauty mark under her left eye. Whether on mission or not, Saki tends to favor wearing some manor of skirt or dress, be that her one of her high-school sailor uniforms (one having a white collar, thigh-high stockings and sporting a blue sweater and the other being white mid-riff bearing version with a blue collar) or a frilly, gothic lolita dress complete with fishnet thigh-high stockings, garter-straps, a headband and high-heels.

Saki Abilities:

Master Hand-to Hand Combatant: Saki's preferred method of combat. Her single-target hand-to-hand attacks are second-to-none and possess such extreme strength and precision that one punch is enough to shatter titanium. Combined with her Accelerated Perception, Saki's martial art skills make her almost invincible on the battlefield as she utilizes her power to watch enemy movements very carefully, able to turn virtually all manner of attacks into an opportunity for a savage counter while avoiding damage entirely, instead punishing her enemies by dealing massive amounts of damage back to them in one single strike. As long as Saki stays disciplined and level-headed enough to consistently pull this maneuver off in critical moments, she can remain completely untouchable.

Expert Swordswoman: Saki is a very skilled swordswoman. While she prefers hand-to-hand combat, she is known for very heavy strikes with her sword and occasionally faster maneuvers than her sister, though Aya is technically on a much higher level than she is. Like her sister, Saki is also an adept craftswoman, knowing enough to create, maintain and upgrade her own personal, very reliable and fully customized gauntlets and tachis.

Enhanced Strength: Despite her size, she is much stronger than she looks. Being one of, if not the most physically strong members of the main cast, Saki is able to ragdoll enemies much greater than her in size and weight with noticeable ease, often going so far as to tear appendages clean off when an adversary gets too close. Energy Manipulation: Like many other Banefuls including her half-sister, Saki is able to manifest her aura in such a way that she can manipulate it into lethal bursts that she commonly uses to bolster her sword fighting and hand-to-hand combat capabilities. Having a deep red hue, Saki's energy carries a highly destructive property about it, blowing enemies away in blunt concussive shockwaves of energy or instantly breaking their bodies into pieces as she wraps it around her fists or slinging dark red waves of energy wildly across the battlefield as she pours it out from the hilt of her sword, catching multiple enemies in its wake.

Accelerated Perception: Same as Banefuls like Aya and Evange, Saki possesses the ability to momentarily perceive everything at an accelerated rate by closely watching enemy movements and acting at the last second, allowing her to completely dodge all manner of attacks including AOE techniques and bullets, and counter enemies that otherwise would have been too fast for her to react to.

Enhanced Speed: Due to her enhanced conditioning and physiology, Saki is able to effortlessly move at speeds pushing the boundaries of what a human being is capable of.

Skilled Acrobat: Both Saki and her sister have been shown to possess such skills in agility and acute awareness of their own bodies that they qualify as superhuman.
