Sayaka is a recluse woman. She doesn't know very well how to deal with other people and dislikes being in crowded places, avoiding them whenever is possible. She’s silent and reserved, but also hot-blooded and quick-tempered, easily angered when provoked. Other than that, she's peaceful and does her best to not engage in fights.

Sayaka disguises herself as man because she feels safer and less exposed, as well as avoiding the prejudices females suffer in the society.
