Sayo

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. Sayo wears a loose-fitting, off-the-shoulder black Kimono, which lets her big breasts almost in complete showing, 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.
