Overview

Outline

Kamisato Ayaka is a 5-star playable Sword Cryo character in Genshin Impact.

She is the daughter of the Kamisato Clan and younger sister of Ayato Kamisato, in charge of the clan's internal and external affairs. Being beautiful, dignified, and noble, Ayaka has earned the title Shirasagi Himegimi from those close to her, and is considered a model of perfection in Inazuma. Having more interactions with the common people, Ayaka's reputation exceeds that of her brother.

Personality

Ayaka is a kind-hearted girl with a pleasant temperament who treats others with politeness and courtesy. She holds the people of Inazuma dear to her heart and often goes out of her way to personally assist in all kinds of matters; being a member of the Yashiro Commission, she feels that she must meet the people's needs. She is a perfectionist with an earnest personality. Her dedication often moves people, and those close to her gave her the honorary title of Shirasagi Himegimi (Japanese: 白しら鷺さぎの 姫ひめ君ぎみ Shirasagi no Himegimi, "White Heron Princess"). People in the neighborhood always talk about her with sincere admiration.

Thanks to the influence of Ayaka's excellent upbringing, her heart is as pure as crystallized ice. Just like the splendid colors reflected as the ice crystals spin in the winter air, such is Ayaka's spirit. While the people of Inazuma love her, it is also well known that she has very few friends due to her upbringing — Thoma (Genshin Impact) is her only known friend until she met the Traveler. She is also busy to the point that she doesn't have much free time, to begin with, so she has trouble mingling with others. When not burdened with her duties, she shows a tender, cute side to her.

But if you want to capture a heart hanging high in the sky, you must have the ability to climb up the clouds. In other words, Ayaka is eager to associate with people capable of achieving great feats — in her eyes, friendships are dictated by fate, the same way she was destined to wield her frost-covered sword.

Character Mentions

Ayato Kamisato

I am confident in Ayaka's abilities. But I want her to be able to hold on to her innocence. She shouldn't have to get personally involved in power struggles, or confront the darker side of life head-on. As her older brother, it's my job to shield her from all of that... Heh, just... between the two of us, of course. Sorry, that got a little more private a little more quickly than I'd intended.

Thoma (Genshin Impact)

Milady is in all respects a well-rounded person: erudite, compassionate, well-mannered, and elegant... The one thing she could do better is to speak her mind more. In fact, watch out for this the next time you're talking to her — sometimes, she looks like she's about to say something, but then she holds back. If that happens, keep asking her opinion, see if you can encourage her to open up a little.

Traveler

Paimon (Genshin Impact): Hmmm...

Traveler: Paimon, you look so serious today.

Paimon (Genshin Impact): That's because Paimon's thinking about serious things.

Paimon (Genshin Impact): Paimon's jealous of people from wealthy and influential families. They have an endless supply of Mora and mountains of delicious food to eat...

Traveler: I can't disagree. Those are exactly the things you're fond of.

Paimon (Genshin Impact): But after getting to know Ayaka better, Paimon realized that a young lady from a noble family can also have her share of hardships.

Paimon (Genshin Impact): She needs to shoulder her clan's duties and responsibilities. She works so hard and has very little time for herself.

Paimon (Genshin Impact): Ayaka must be exhausted, she should try to relax a bit...

Paimon (Genshin Impact): Ah, that's right! Let's invite Ayaka to the next festival!

Paimon (Genshin Impact): If she got an invite from us, there's no way she'd refuse.

Traveler: Yeah, I'd like to go to another festival with her.

Paimon (Genshin Impact): Besides, if Ayaka's around, she can pick up the tab for us...

Traveler: ...I should've seen that coming...

Paimon (Genshin Impact): Ayaka gives a sense of noble elegance with every gesture she makes.

Traveler: Can you do an Ayaka impression, Paimon?

Paimon (Genshin Impact): Let's give it a try.

Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Oh my, you've been picking mushrooms so earnestly just to make Chicken-Mushroom Skewers for me?"

Paimon (Genshin Impact): "How cute..."

Traveler: That was nothing like Ayaka. But...

Traveler: Even though you didn't sound like yourself, it didn't feel completely out of place for you either...

("How cute" means "O kawaii koto..." (お可愛いこと). This is an easter egg for Paimon's Japanese voice actress - Aoi Koga, who also did this voice line for Kaguya Shinomiya in Kaguya-Sama: Love is War. )
