Ayame

Ayame (あやめ) is a supporting character in the Murasamejo Mode for Samurai Warriors 3. She is an original character who did not previously appear in either Nazo no Murasamejō or Samurai Warriors.

Ayame is a normal girl who lives in a village near the Mountain of Madness. Takamaru finds her when she is being attacked by Murasame's minions. She notices the gem the heroes took from Lord Aosame and mentions a legend that is tied to it. She meets Takamaru and his partner later in their travels and further elaborates on the myth, which states that the wielder of all four gems receives godly powers. Ayame leaves after telling them the tale. In reality, she is being manipulated by Lord Momosame who uses her to trick Takamaru.

After the castle lord is defeated, she reverts to her normal self. She has no memory of what has transpired and Takamaru protects her before reaching Murasame Castle. Realizing that she can no longer follow him, Ayame parts ways with Takamaru before he faces Murasame.

She cannot fight and needs the player's protection when they escort her through maps.
