Saza Yasu

Name is Saza Yasu

Appearance: Her hair was much darker; her head was shaved on the left side, while the rest of her dark curls fell over the right side and almost covered her blue eye. I then noticed that she had only one blue eye the other was red. She was wearing a white t-shirt with some sort of pizza design on the front, denim shorts and blue trainers.

Personality: Saza Yasu, the Ultimate Iconographer, is depicted as a lively, boisterous, and hyperactive individual with a strong love for cheese and humor. She has a playful, teasing personality, often using humor to lighten situations or call out others. Despite her energetic nature, she also has a sharp, analytical mind and a strong appreciation for art and symbolism, which defines her talent as an iconographer.

She exudes confidence and warmth, often teasing her classmates in a lighthearted way and building strong, affectionate relationships, particularly with her brother Nishikiri, the Ultimate Tattoo Artist. Saza enjoys a playful dynamic with her peers, showing a knack for creating moments of levity during tense situations.

Despite her laid-back demeanor, Saza is insightful and perceptive, often observing the emotional undercurrents in the group. Her passion for her craft as an iconographer—a profession tied to the creation of sacred and meaningful imagery—reflects her artistic and creative mind. She has a strong moral compass and is quick to defend others, especially when she feels someone is being unfairly treated. This combination of playfulness, artistic talent, and compassion makes her a central figure in the group’s interactions, often lightening the mood while maintaining a sharp awareness of her surroundings​.

Background: Saza and Nishikiri had always been very artistic, even as children. They were drawing even before they had learned to read and write and were inseparable while doing it. She would finish brother's pictures for him, and Nishikiri hers. Eventually they tastes diverged. Nishikiri was interested in body art and using his own body as canvas, so he turned to the tattoo inks, while Saza became interested in the more academic field of symbols and icons and their hidden meanings, so she took to iconography studies. Their parents were really supportive of both they crafts.

Then, one day, she got an invitation from a local arts college who had heard about the talents of the Yasu twins - they invited them both to study with them, despite the fact that they were only twelve years old. Saza and Nishikiri sailed through our respective courses in iconography and tattooing before graduating at the ages of fifteen. It was during this time that they both started thinking about what they wanted to do with their talents, but it was Saza who had the first breakthrough. She was visited by a representative of the Vatican while studying and it was requested that she use both her talents as an artist and her knowledge of symbology to paint a mural in one of the various cathedrals in Italy. Their parents, however, were vehemently against the idea of her travelling abroad alone. Things got heated, and Saza stormed out of the house and wasn't seen again in our house for two years. In that time, she travelled the world and earned a name for herself as a travelling muralist and semiotician. Her name became taboo in Yasu's house for a long time. After so much time, Saza returned.

A huge row between her and her parents erupted. Her parents believed she had abandoned the family, while Saza was arguing she was just pursuing her talents. The two sides could never settle, so Nishikiri offered for Saza to stay in his parlour while their relationship mended. It was there that we discussed something that would change the tattooing world forever. Throughout the years they were at college and she was abroad, Nishikiri became obsessed with taking tattoo artistry to a whole new level, and shortly after his first few months of study, he finally had an idea. Eye tattoos: that is, permanently changing the pigmentation of one's iris. Obviously, such a task wasn't feasible with ink, so Nishikiri started studying ophthalmology and how he could become the first artist to do this. The idea consumed him, and Nishikiri knew that he wouldn't rest until he was able to conduct his first experiments. When Saza came back, Nishikiri told her of his project and how he was on the verge of a breakthrough - she offered to fund him using the money she had earned from her travels, and they set about setting up an addition to the parlour, now belonging to us both. This addition was a lab designed to help finalise the details of eye tattoo technologies. Then, Nishikiri figure it out and created the world's first eye tattoo technology. Then, all that remained was someone to test it on.

Obviously, Nishikiri couldn't perform it on myself because only he possessed the technological knowledge to work the machine. Saza then offered herself to be the first test subject. At first, brother refused - he couldn't operate on his own sister! But after weeks and weeks of begging, he finally caved, and they agreed to only change one of her eyes at first, and if the operation was a success we would do the other. Nishikiri asked her what colour she wanted, to which her answer was 'pepperoni.' Typical - even when undergoing life-changing surgery, Saza is always thinking about pizza. They settled on red, because Nishikiri told pepperoni wasn't a colour. After hours of tense and careful pressure, the operation was complete, but when Saza awoke from her anaesthetic it was clear something was wrong. Her eye had been changed successfully and was now a red colour, but the eye itself was unfocused. Acting on a hunch, Nishikiri put his hand over her blue eye and asked Saza what she saw, and her response was nothing. He had blinded his sister in her right eye. They went to the hospital and discovered the damage was irreversible.

That night, in a fit of rage, horror and shame, Nishikiri destroyed his parlour. It was only because of his parents, who had heard the news of what had happened to Saza and had come to find him, that his parlour did not end up in flames that night. They took Nishikiri back to the hospital where Saza was recovering and they sat down and discussed it. Nishikiri couldn't look at her, at what he had done to his sister. Their parents were in shock, but bizarrely Saza was the one to calm us all down. Saza told Nishikiri that she didn't feel upset at what brother had done, she even said that she was happy to know that she could see her new eye with her one functioning eye whenever she looked in a mirror. She said she forgave him.
