Hello, and welcome to this week’s blog post! This week we meet another character from Genshin Impact named Sayu, a very lazy ninja from Inazuma, who can’t seem to grow taller.
Sayu, a very short and petite ninja, attached to the Shuumatsuban. She is always very sleepy and almost never has motivation to do her work. Sayu has a goal and one goal only, to grow taller. Sayu is very self conscious about her height. She desperately wants to be as tall as the other ninjas she works with. She is 16-18 years old; she’s 4’6, and she has a high pitched voice–everyone (even me) would think she is 9 or 10 years old. Don’t underestimate her. Sayu appears to be wearing Mujina attire (Japanese definition: Badger attire), but her clothes are actually based on a Tanuki, a Japanese Raccoon Dog which has badger-like qualities.
Sayu takes a training called ninjutsu, a martial arts strategy of “unconventional warfare.” Lazy, distracted, Sayu finds it hard for her to follow through with all her training sessions. Her caretaker is always having to search all over Inazuma looking for Sayu, making sure she does her training. But, Sayu, taking selective advantage of her new ninjutsu skills, hides from her work. Sayu does this because she wants to sleep. She thinks sleeping will make her grow taller, as tall as the ninjas she does training with. However, sleeping does not help Sayu grow. She’s small, and stays small. Without her awarded anemo vision, she wouldn’t be able to even carry her sword in battle. A claymore sword is very large and heavy.
