キャラクター説明
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
EGO DEATH; THE BIRTH OF THE CONTROL DEVIL.

What is more shameful, than working your whole life, yet having nothing to show for it?

Saori was never privileged, she was never handed the world, but she was born with the two most important intangibles one could possess: talent and an undying will. In a world not made for her, living each day jaded towards it -- the idea of 'legacy', of meaning something, spoke much too deeply for her, to the point it became everything her mind centered around. She is a nobody trying to become something. A step of achievement towards that alone is the highest source of pleasure she could receive.

Increasingly intelligent and one step ahead of everything, she uses her acumen to her advantage at all times, creating whatever path is necessary to achieve her goal, no matter what stands in her way, though that often comes at the cost of alienating close ones, who already do not come by often. Saori may not be willing to admit it, but she is an extremely emotive person. Beneath the facade goes much thought, and perfection & greed alike will often consume her and damage her on a spiritual level. Despite her broadened knowledge in psychology, she is still human, and is thus not immune to her nature. Numbness is her coping mechanism -- but when life intrinsically feels like a show, a performance, then her only source of dopamine is the pleasure that she gets from achieving her goals, whether that is through glory, upmanship, or through simply shredding people down to their core.

Solitude is a worthy sacrifice, even if that makes her a monster. The world has molded her, and whatever monikers it gives her, she will gladly embrace. Because it means her legacy is worth labeling and logging in the world's notorious history.

動機
MOTIVES
Vindication for the miserable cards she was dealt from the day of her birth. She feels she only fits in at the top, thus rising up the ranks in each facet of her life is of the utmost importance. One way or another, she has managed to reach the pinnacle of every endeavor she's undertaken; thus her triumph on American soil feels inevitable. By pulling the strings just right, she is quickly making herself a notorious name in the wrestling sphere, while also making steps towards permeating her presence at the depths of her homeland's political and capitalist realm. The ultimate vindication is to make the name 'Aizen' mean something for generations to come -- an idea rooted in selfishness, but one she cannot let go of no matter the costs.

キャラクターノート
CHARACTER NOTES
– Saori is a master manipulator and gaslighter; she has no issues with doing what is necessary for her goals. Subterfuge will always be in her best interest; most people associated with her are often seen as objects and stepping stones, shoved away once they've outlived their use. Though of course, there are exceptions to every rule. Some people manage to get a feeling out of her, and those enigmatic figures often fog her mind in ways she cannot control, which often causes turmoil within her;

– she has studied psychology; it always enamored her, and eventually she majored in it as a nationally acclaimed student. She knows the ins and outs of the human mind, and instead of using her tools to help those struggling, she will use them as a weapon. She recognizes behaviors. She makes quick connections. She knows where to attack, how to go below the belt, and truly get under somebody's skin. Saori does not understand the idea of 'humanity', to her, the closest thing to that understanding comes through studying the psyche, and as such, her use of this knowledge is oftentimes exploitative. It's all a part of the charming performance she carries with herself, often to uncanny levels of perfection;

– Saori doesn't see other human beings as equal to her and doesn't seek to find a personal connection with others when talking to them, hence why she's not usually going to go on a first-name basis with people, but rather call them by their full name or last name, or won't even refer by name at all and instead will go for a derogatory nickname to refer to them, the latter being her favorite. Another reason for often going on a last-name basis with others stems from her care over the value of a last name, seeing it as more important than the person said name's been bestowed upon, her overarching motivation in life being making her own last name mean something and get passed on by the generations that pass. Also usually doesn't use the acronym for EAW, but rather uses the full title, 'Elite Answers Wrestling';

– being a top academic, Saori is eloquently spoken and isn't the type to swear very often if the situation doesn't call for it. She is obsessed with the way she presents herself and how she is perceived as a result of that, hence her commitment to a level of elegance. The times she does swear, though, could be at a breaking point frustration-wise or in order to get under somebody's skin... but through it all, she is COMMITTED to her facade above all, which makes the authenticity of her breakdowns often even more unpredictable;

– Saori's voice is monotonous, though also soft and calm. Inherently, that brings a comforting tone to whomever she speaks to, often far too helpful in hiding her true intention that lies behind her words. On the inside, she is chaos, and is no stranger to embracing it, however the creepy dichotomy lies in the far too calm demeanor she carries herself with in spite of those intentions. Her voice, and her charm as a whole, is time and again a deadly tool available at her disposal;

– she is fluent in English, French, and, obviously, Japanese.

浮気癖
CHEATING TENDENCY
The ends always justify the means. A lack of moral honor only further proves her conviction.

バイオグラフィー
BIOGRAPHY

Spoiler

Born in an average middle-class family in Tokyo, Japan, Aizen Saori is the oldest of two children to Aizen Hachirou, her father, and Aizen Masuyo, her mother. Due to Tokyo's extremely unforgiving work culture, her parents would often work an inhumane amount of hours, which would often leave her and her younger sister, Aizen Shiori [picture base: Mio Shirai], to fend for themselves from a younger age than normal. The times the two parents would be home, they would be too exhausted to provide much care for their daughters, causing an unhealthy bond in the family from the very start.

Saori, the firstborn, would be problematic since her first day in this world and that would not change as she grew up, showing no form of empathy. Though she has always be smart, breezing through school from an early age as the best in her class, her problems would usually come because of her attitude. Growing up, Saori was often neglected as a result of her behavior, and the two parents became resentful over it and often gave up on enduring her behavior, thus they'd just let her be while slowly involving themselves less and less in Saori's upbringing due to her nature, being an enigmatic figure to both her family and every specialist they'd meet to try and look into the 'problem,' but of course, everything was to no avail, Saori could not be 'fixed.'

Two years after Saori, Hachirou & Masuyo would bring into this world Shiori, 'the child they actually wanted.' She was the polar opposite of Saori, calm, empathic, and good-willed, causing close to no trouble, especially in comparison to her older sister. As such, she would quickly become the favorite child growing up, which at first did not sit right with Saori, the two being on bad terms for a good amount of time, but slowly, the two would grow fond of each other the more time they'd spend next to one another, Saori especially would come to show empathy for her sister and often take her side when their parents would lash out on her due to the exhaustion of their jobs.

She'd never admit it, but Saori loved Shiori, and well, Shiori was the only person who really brought out glimpses of a 'fixed' Saori.

When it comes to their parents, their father was the calmest of the two, although he'd often carry much indifference towards the children, opting to focus on his profession, trying to provide as much as he could for his family although never really making it further in his workplace. He was emotionally disconnected from the two sisters, and there would often be this feeling that they simply lived in the same home and nothing more. On the flip side, their mother was a little more involved even if she, too, worked many hours. Sadly, being more involved wasn't precisely a good thing, as Masuyo was an emotional and short-tempered person, often being resentful to the two sisters and especially to Saori, constantly having extremely high expectations out of the two and not even achieving them would be enough. Bickering between her and Saori would become a daily occurrence, only causing a bigger rift between the family.

Spending a large majority of their time together due to their parents working for most of the day, Saori and Shiori developed their bond into a truly genuine one, and Saori felt this responsibility to become a caretaker for her little sister, often taking the role of a 'mother' throughout most of their childhood, while Shiori would often provide her serenity from the world she found cruel and be the voice of reason to her wild mind. This dynamic hasn't exactly changed in the current day.

Growing up in the Kabuchoko district of Tokyo, a more troubled area of the city, Saori would often find herself in dangerous entourages during her teenage years, growing into a delinquent lifestyle, especially knowing she must depend on defending herself as a woman in a more dangerous area. Thus, her initial bloodlust began after getting the taste of this life, though simultaneously, she would use this to her advantage on her sister’s bullies as well, all-in-all she carried over the mindset that she would rather make all the hard work and sacrifices for Shiori to live a happy life.

She was always excellent when it came to education, often finding school extremely easy and helping her less interested sister get through the difficulties she'd encounter on that front. Growing up, Saori would have a passion for literature, specifically psychological books, which always helped to serve as a distraction from her messy familiar life and to find an escape towards something providing her enjoyment. But, while she was extremely good in her school years, she wouldn't have friends and would not exactly see eye-to-eye with other students, seeing them as below her and not willing to help them cheat through everything without putting in a comparable amount of effort when she was inquired to help, as a result, she got herself a pretty bad reputation and quickly became a lone wolf. In her junior year of high school, she would end up working a job at a musical store not far from her residence, but one she absolutely hated due to having to work with clients. On the side, she also did certain 'side gigs' that constantly would put her on edge but also helped her mature. A lot was on her plate, but with her work ethic and overachiever mindset, she managed to excel. New responsibilities then brew for the two sisters, Saori was bringing in the money for them to often share, while Shiori would take care of household duties outside of school, usually being the one cooking them meals, as a result discovering a passion for making food.

After Saori successfully graduated from high school, she enrolled at the University of Tokyo, the best one in the country, to study psychology. Having also found a better opportunity, she would quit the vinyl store job and work as a waitress for a restaurant in Shibuya. After Saori’s sophomore year in college, Shiori would also get hired to work as an amateur chef and from then on to the present day, she would climb her way up the ladder and become the executive chef at the aforementioned restaurant, where she currently earns a decent wage for her needs. With the money saved up during high school, Saori would also start up her wrestling journey, training under an acclaimed wrestling school and finding herself in a class of her own, being quickly touted as a prodigy by all her trainers. Meanwhile, the entourages she’d get herself in would only grow worse, seeing herself rise up amongst the lesser glorified side of Tokyo, and soon finding herself with underworld associations, a necessary life in order to be able to afford everything in her life, though carrying the attitude she does, she often clashed with many ideologies and backstabbed many dangerous people, simply because she always took money over everything, no matter the job. She quickly grew in notoriety as a 'nomad,' pissing off many of the most influential of Tokyo city, and consequently earning herself the 'Demon Child' nickname due to her cunning and ruthless nature, directly being seen as a trouble-causing hellspawn and nothing more. This is a moniker Saori does not like or mention very often, though a loose translation of it is one she has carried with her to this day, embracing her reputation to become her best self.

The more she became entangled in underworld business, the more truths she would find out about the world, as the paychecks got bigger, so did the revelations, revelations which overall have shaped Saori’s current day worldview, realizing that what it takes to make it big in life is to sacrifice everybody on your way to the top, and the numerous glimpses at people of power have only fueled her greedy attitude to strive for that life. This would lead to a MASSIVE argument between Saori and her parents, one where she vowed that she would leave their home and begin to live on her own due to her parents being 'failures.' Saori was frustrated at their inability to make a difficult choice and rather taking the safe one, that being neither bringing enough money to the household, sacrificing time spent with their children, nor choosing family above all and sacrificing the money they’d earn. She hated the idea of conforming to middle-class society, she hated wasting her life away at a worthless workplace, and she hated that in the wide picture, she was nothing more than a minion. Her family stood their ground though, not even willing to hear any of this, and choosing to be content with their current life and unwilling to satisfy her desired changes, and so, Saori simply left, marking this the last time she and her parents would ever see each other. She would still maintain her relationship with Shiori, who’d sporadically provide updates about her parents, and although she didn’t care to hear it very much, she did find out her parents divorced not soon after she left, with her mother claiming back her old name: Amanai Masuyo.

Saori would then live on her own in a rented little flat. She graduated from college with a degree in psychology, and soon after would wrap up her wrestling training and quickly begin her wrestling career, finally leaving behind the waitress job she did not like very much. Her wrestling passion began at a young age, having often watched promotions from the country growing up and due to wrestling’s general cultural impact in Japan. Because of her character and attitude, she decided a profession where malice and treachery are the best way to climb up the ranks would be one best fit for her, and thus decided to pursue it, seeing it as her best chance to leave behind her peasant life and the traumatic underworld experience that constantly followed her around. Under the flag of the joshi puroresu scene, she would extremely quickly rise up the ranks and make a name for herself, and before the end of her first year she would become the undisputed best in the country. She wrestled for four years in Japan, becoming a World Champion once at the end of her first year, and would spend almost the entirety of her third and fourth years reigning for a second time in legendary fashion.

By this juncture, you could say her goals have been achieved, she left behind her past life, she now makes more than enough money to manage many luxuries – but it wasn’t enough for her. Saori caught a glimpse of what it means to be part of the one percentile in the world, to grasp control and influence, to hold the entire world in your hands – and thus, greed had consumed her, and quickly all of her current ventures became boring, seeing as she had nothing more to prove. So, in June 2024, soon after the end of her colossal championship reign, Japan's highly acclaimed, legendary figure would tread on unexplored territory, officially signing on the dotted line with Elite Answers Wrestling who have had their eyes on her for quite a while. With the move to the United States, she finds herself in a place she’s not familiar with and new challenges await her, with the end goal of this all being to conquer even the mecca of pro wrestling, getting the name 'Aizen' into the status of immortal, and ruling over the world – joining elite ranks, forever to be revered, never to be impoverished again, carrying out her personal mission which nobody else in her bloodline had been able to before her, for they were all simply too weak and not proud enough to carry the name Aizen.

インリング方法論
IN-RING METHODOLOGY
Saori specializes in a technical wrestling style, having an elevated understanding of wrestling fundamentals. She attempts a number of submissions throughout and often looks to lock in one of her submission finishers. Her moves usually target the arms, the head, or the torso, respectively, depending on what is necessary, so that her finishers can get the highest impact possible. If an opponent has a past history of injuries, she will not hesitate to exploit that to her advantage. She is also extremely gifted athletically, which makes up for her lack of size, so if she loses in the strength game or struggles to keep an opponent down, she'll opt to use her speed and agility to get the upper hand.

メモ書き
MATCH WRITING NOTES
– Saori's arsenal is meant to be deep but simple. Having mastery over her repertoire, she can be quite unpredictable because even if she follows a 'less is more' approach, that more so refers to how flashy she will get because she is otherwise a woman of many moves and won't hesitate to change up her style accordingly if she must;

– To keep a match grounded, she may combine her submission holds by transitioning between them, especially if it serves the purpose of targeting a certain body part or to simply apply constant pressure to an opponent, switching things up whenever they are on the verge of escape;

– She can become overzealous, and when she does, she starts taking more risks, flaunting more often than usual, and takes a more flashy approach inside the squared circle, and will go as far as to belittle her opponent if she isn't provided a challenge. Her opponent's grief is her biggest joy, so she will always find a way to light some sort of fire under them for the sake of granting herself that hedonistic high;

– Depending on her disdain for an opponent, she will get more and more brutal with them, or choose to monologue, to humiliate and maltreat somebody inside the ring, all for the sake of her own joy. This does come with the downside of her possibly losing sight of the victory, though in a sense if the damage had been done and a point was made she's fine with taking the moral victory, so long as she does get something in return from it, being obsesssed with being able to manipulate the narrative in her favor;

– Saori is remarkably intelligent, one opponent at a time becomes one temporary obsession, spending every second of her time thinking of ways to achieve victory and exploiting all possible weaknesses. After gaining more experience in the ring, she is no longer so forgiving of herself when making stupid mistakes. She is a perfectionist and her own biggest critic, she feels she must never repeat a mistake, and must never allow someone to get the better of her; if they do, then she is still flawed, and must work on herself to not repeat it;

– Similar to GUNTHER, she has many ways she can end a match, adding to her versatility as a competitor, being able to practically take on any style she is familiar with or attack any body part and have a way of ending a match, which helps with her unpredictable nature.
