Yayoi Hayama, a woman of warm light brown hair and eyes, fair complexion, and slender frame, dressed in a soft pink shirt layered beneath a cropped white hoodie adorned with a silver zipper. Her light orange sweatpants paired with vibrant orange sneakers contrasted her understated jewelry: a gold wedding band on her left hand and a crimson amulet encircling her right wrist.

As an Idaten descendant, she bore the sacred duty of gathering chiso—offerings meant for the gods—and ensuring their delivery to the divine assembly during Izumo’s annual Kamihakari festival.

Wife to Norimasa Hayama and mother to Kanna, Yayoi radiated optimism, offering steadfast encouragement and kindness. She approached motherhood with infectious enthusiasm, often peppering their interactions with playful teasing to uplift her daughter.

Her tragic departure a year before the story’s events left Kanna balancing grief with the determination to preserve her mother’s legacy.
