After the conclusion of the fourth Dead or Alive tournament and before the third Ninja Gaiden installment, Ayane is mysteriously teleported to the dimensional realm in ''Warriors Orochi 3''. She stars in an alternate Hasedō, which has been modified to resemble parts of Seaside Paradise from ''[[w:c:deadoralive:Dead or Alive 4|Dead or Alive 4]]''. During the heat of the battle, she is discovered by [[Yoshitsune Minamoto|Yoshitsune]] and his party. Although she is unaware of her surroundings, Ayane quickly decides to team with the coalition to find a way back home.

She follows [[Sima Zhao]]'s army after Hasedō and helps them in their hunt for [[Shuten Dōji]]. Thanks to her intelligence and [[Taigong Wang]]'s leadership, they are able to track the demon and other prisoners at [[Xu Chang|Xuchang]]. She advises using stealth to save their imprisoned allies and leads the main party to easy infiltration points. Ayane also helps [[Bao Sanniang]] in her search for [[Guan Suo]] at Mt. Niutou.

===Personality===
===Personality===
Haughty and shrewd, Ayane is a kunoichi who follows her [[w:c:deadoralive:Mugen Tenshin Ninja Clan|clan]]'s strict teachings. Fueled by her hated jealousy for her half-sister Kasumi, she seeks to hide her pain and weaknesses whenever possible. Ayane often buries her woes by perfecting the murderous craft of her sect, focusing on succeeding her missions rather than her emotions. She has a sharp and cynical tongue and often gloats to her opponents. Although best known for her scathing and aloof persona, Ayane can be compassionate and may even help others when they are in need.

For her ''Warriors Orochi'' appearance, she shares an affinity with Ryu, Kasumi, [[Kunoichi]], [[Nene]], and Yoshitsune. Her scantly clad outfit flusters Yoshitsune, who bashfully insists that she cover herself during their conversations together; his overreactions mainly amuse her. She sees Kunoichi as an effective sparring partner, and is fond of her lighthearted personality. She admires Nene's motherly personality, saying she could never compete with her in that regard. She also has the desire to learn her "Nene Ninpo" ability, often asking Nene to teach her how to perform it.

Ayane (あやね) is an original character created by Team NINJA for the Dead or Alive series.

She made her first appearance in Koei games as a guest NPC for the PlayStation 3 port of Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce. She is one of the collaboration characters being included in Warriors Orochi 3, Shin Sangoku Musou VS and Warriors All-Stars.

She also appeared in Senran Kagura as guest character.

Role in Games

Dynasty Warriors

In Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce, she would give quests to players to find Ryu; completing them allowed players to use her weapon in the game. The fourth anniversary PlayStation 3 version of Dynasty Warriors: Online enabled players to download parts of her costume for their female avatars.

Warriors Orochi

After the conclusion of the fourth Dead or Alive tournament and before the third Ninja Gaiden installment, Ayane is mysteriously teleported to the dimensional realm in Warriors Orochi 3. She stars in an alternate Hasedō, which has been modified to resemble parts of Seaside Paradise from Dead or Alive 4. During the heat of the battle, she is discovered by Yoshitsune and his party. Although she is unaware of her surroundings, Ayane quickly decides to team with the coalition to find a way back home.

She follows Sima Zhao's army after Hasedō and helps them in their hunt for Shuten Dōji. Thanks to her intelligence and Taigong Wang's leadership, they are able to track the demon and other prisoners at Xuchang. She advises using stealth to save their imprisoned allies and leads the main party to easy infiltration points. Ayane also helps Bao Sanniang in her search for Guan Suo at Mt. Niutou.

In Ultimate, Ayane learns of an unusual disturbance at Yan Province and goes there to investigate together with Nemea and Diaochan. The cause of this disturbance turns out to be none other than her half-sister Kasumi who had been transported to the dimensional realm as well. In spite of her older sibling's status as a runaway fugitive, the younger kunoichi chooses to put her grudge aside and asks the former's help in slaying the serpent forces surrounding them.

Character Information

Development

According to Furusawa, Ayane was chosen to represent NINJA GAIDEN in Warriors All-Stars to give Ryu another companion from his series and for action variation with her weapons. For her reprisal in Warriors All-Stars, Yamazaki struggled to keep Ayane being blunt to so many characters. She hopes fans still like her character in this title.

Personality

Haughty and shrewd, Ayane is a kunoichi who follows her clan's strict teachings. Fueled by her hated jealousy for her half-sister Kasumi, she seeks to hide her pain and weaknesses whenever possible. Ayane often buries her woes by perfecting the murderous craft of her sect, focusing on succeeding her missions rather than her emotions. She has a sharp and cynical tongue and often gloats to her opponents. Although best known for her scathing and aloof persona, Ayane can be compassionate and may even help others when they are in need.

For her Warriors Orochi appearance, she shares an affinity with Ryu, Kasumi, Kunoichi, Nene, and Yoshitsune. Her scantly clad outfit flusters Yoshitsune, who bashfully insists that she cover herself during their conversations together; his overreactions mainly amuse her. She sees Kunoichi as an effective sparring partner, and is fond of her lighthearted personality. She admires Nene's motherly personality, saying she could never compete with her in that regard. She also has the desire to learn her "Nene Ninpo" ability, often asking Nene to teach her how to perform it.

Most of Ayane's abilities and skills are derived from the ones she has in the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive series.

  • Her Special Skill is the "Flash Kunai" projectile weapon she had in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
  • The Finisher of her True Musou sequence is the "Art of the Raging Mountain God" Ninpo skill from Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
  • Her dashing attack is clearly her "Genmu-So" move from Dead or Alive.
