Role in Game
When first met, Ayame claims to be 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 Lady 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. As she travels with him from this point, she explains that she is the Priestess of the Murasame Shrine, and explains that before becoming a demon, Murasame was a benign beast that protected her village. But he became corrupted by an unknown force, her ancestors then sealed Murasame in a statue and split his power into four crystals and kept them hidden, and that it was up to the spiritual power of the entire village to keep him at bay, her status as priestess focusing the power on the statue. When she and Takamaru get to her village they finds that everyone has been turned to stone, but their desire to seal Murasame still lives on inside their stone bodies. Ayame then volentears to stay within the village and focus hers and the villagers spiritual powers on Murasame to weaken him, as Takamaru ascends the demons castle to face him..

Personality
