Sayaka Kirasaka (
Appearance
Sayaka is a beautiful teenager with turquoise eyes and long brown hair passing her waist in a long ponytail. She is normally seen wearing a school uniform-like outfit, consisting of a plain white blouse, a miniskirt, thigh highs socks, white sneakers, and her signature purple sweater-vest.
In Episode 5, Sayaka is seen wearing a dark red Qipao.
For the majority of Season 2, Sayaka wears a purple bikini top and a flowered beach dress, due to the season mostly taking place in Blue Elysium.

Personality
During her first introduction, Sayaka's most noticeable traits are her obsessive attachment to Yukina Himeragi and a severe case of Androphobia, or the fear of men (which does not seem to originate from mistreatment but rather from plain hatred). This paints Sayaka as an overprotective, confrontational individual. However, on the inside, Sayaka is actually kind and gentle to those she holds close to her, if not slightly cynical towards her current situation.
Sayaka, like most of the other characters, is a very powerful fighter and thus she has extreme confidence in her skills as a War Dancer. This confidence, coupled with her natural fighting ability, her sword (The Lustrous Scale/Koukarin), and aggressive fighting style makes Sayaka a force to be reckoned with much like (and most likely surpassing) Yukina, Gelda, and other attack mages.
However, sometimes when fighting, Sayaka does tend to lose herself in emotion if she has a vendetta against her enemy. In fact, Kojou himself ended up being the target of Sayaka's blind rage when she attacked him on Saikai Academy's rooftop, convinced that the vampire had stolen and defiled her only childhood friend. Kojou, unwilling to harm a woman, would've probably lost of not for Asagi Aiba's interference, the injury of which caused Kojou to go berserk himself.
Interestingly enough, Sayaka's Androphobia doesn"t apply to males that are non-human, such as Kojou Akatsuki or Dimitrie Vatler. While the earlier seasons point out Sayaka's hatred of males to be so extreme that she outright disobeys her superiors due to their gender, it recieves less focus as the series continues, save for the occasional remark or offhanded comment.
Speaking of offhanded comments, Yukina once mentioned that Sayaka was infamous for her aversion to mobile phones because she couldn't stand men's voices so close to her ears, as even listening to one talk normally is bad enough for her.
Sayaka is apparently a decent cook, as she made and sold chocolates during Valentine's Day at the High God Forest.
History
Much like Yukina, Sayaka was raised and trained by the Lion King Organization in order to become one of their attack mages. The circumstances of how she arrived at the Organization are unknown, but it can be safely assumed that she was either sold by her family (like Yukina) or that she was an orphan that was taken in (like Yaze).
Plot
From the Warlord's Empire
She first appeared along with Vatler at the banquet held by the latter, while showing clear distaste at Kojou's familiarity with Yukina. However, her harsh attitude toward Kojou changed after both of them teamed up together to rescue Yukina and Asagi Aiba from Christoph Gardos' kidnapping, where Kojou's kindness towards her caused her to fall in love with him, although she's still somewhat reluctant to admit it.
The Amphisbaena
Sayaka first appeared in the burned down church confronting Yaze, urging him to tell her about Kojou's and Yukina's whereabouts after their dissapeareance from Itogami Island, while both Asagi and Nagisa Akatsuki went to the said church. When Asagi and Nagisa met her, Asagi freaked out and pointed at Sayaka as she's still highly suspicious of her because of her involvement with Kojou. Later, they ended up working together, albeit reluctantly, to rescue Kojou and Yukina.
