Description
Ayaka Sajyō serves as the true Master of Saber in the True and False Holy Grail Wars, having usurped the summoning from Saber's original Master, Cashura, using her unique Command Spells. Her legend originates from Fuyuki City, where she was known as "Person A," a figure associated with an urban legend claiming she vanished after a neighboring family suicide at Semina Apartments. This incident fueled the ghost story "Little Red Riding Hood of Semina Apartments," popular among Homurahara Academy students.
Her true nature stems from the El-Melloi Supreme Mystic Code, an Ether Clump—a sentient concentration of magical energy from the Age of Gods that functioned as a simplified wish-granter. This entity gained a Fairy-like physical form. After being divided into six fragments by humans and lost for centuries, the El-Melloi family recovered them from the Spiritual Tomb of Albion, repurposing the fragments into Magical Energy Reactors. These reactors were later lost during the Fourth Fuyuki Holy Grail War when Kiritsugu Emiya bombed the Hyatt Hotel.
Rogue magi rediscovered the reactors, merging them to create a human-like entity: a blonde, elf-eared girl dubbed "Little Red Riding Hood" for her concealing hood. Functioning as a living Holy Grail capable of limitless wish-granting, she unintentionally warped her creators' minds. The magi couple cyclically abused and expelled her, culminating in their mutual death—the event behind the "family suicide" legend.
Fleeing to her neighbor "Person A," the entity fused with this reclusive woman after the woman expressed a desire to give "all of herself." This fusion birthed the being known as Ayaka Sajyō, who adopted the name after being mistaken for the real Ayaka Sajyō of the Clock Tower. The two are distinct: this Ayaka possesses blonde hair, writes her name in katakana, and uses Western name order, contrasting with the Clock Tower magus's brunette hair, kanji name, and Eastern name order.
After the fusion, Ayaka wandered for years, burdened by guilt and avoiding elevators. She sought solace at Fuyuki Church, encountering Kirei Kotomine and Gilgamesh—memories remaining hazy and aversive. She later frequented Einzbern Castle, finding peace there until meeting a white-haired woman (Philia). Philia placed her under suggestion magecraft, manipulating her into becoming a tool for stealing Servants.
Philia directed Ayaka to Snowfield's Holy Grail War, instructing her to go to the opera house and providing five Command Spells. Ayaka entered the war reluctantly only after Saber saved her from Lancer's attack, accepting the summons to survive. She initially rejects the Master-Servant pact, hoping to avoid deeper entanglement in the magi conflict. Her journey is marked by fragmented memories of her fused existence and encounters with figures like Gai Gotou and Shirano Tsunokuma, who solidified her adopted identity.
