Sakurai Kisa (櫻井季桜 Sakurai Kisa)

Kisa Sakurai

Sakurai Kisa was a Japanese-born alumnus of Teyvat Academy. She was the wife of one of the heads of the wealthy and noble Kamisato family, Kamisato Nariaki, and was the daughter of the noble Sakurai family herself. She was the mother of Kamisato Takehide and the great-grandmother of Kamisato Ayato and Kamisato Ayaka. She would've been the great-great-grandmother of Kamisato Fynn.   By marriage, she is distantly related to the Yukimura family through her husband's distant cousin, Kamisato Aisa - who married Yukimura Naoya.

Pre-Roleplay

Education at Teyvat Academy

While at Teyvat Academy, Kisa was in the Inazuma Dorm. While she was studying there, she met Kamisato Nariaki, who she would later on marry. She knew about Nariaki as she and Nariaki had been in an arranged engagement since they were children. At first, they hated each other but soon grew to love one another.  

Marriage

After graduating from Teyvat Academy in 1867, she married Nariaki on her eighteenth birthday, and gave birth to their eldest son, Takehide, a year later.

During Roleplay

Ayato's Marriage to Yukimura Yukiko

Kisa lived long enough to see Ayato marry Yukimura Yukiko - although she was using the Fujimori name at the time. She was one of the few members of the family to treat Yukiko with kindness and respect even after her Yukimura heritage was revealed.  

Yukiko's Miscarriages / Death and Fynn's Birth

Kisa continued to live to see Yukiko miscarry three times, once in June 2037, once in December 2037 and once in May 2038, and to hear her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren - as well as nieces and nephews and their descendants, try to convince Ayato to take a mistress after the third miscarriage. Unlike the rest of them, however, she told Ayato that he should remain faithful to Yukiko if he truly loved her as she would need him by her side now more than ever.   She lived long enough to see Yukiko fall pregnant with her and Ayato's son and helped to provide Yukiko with support during her pregnancy as Yukiko struggled with paranoia and severe anxiety. However, she died before Fynn was born. Yukiko and Ayato, who decided to not know the gender of their baby until the birth, chose to name their child after Kisa if it turned out to be a girl. When Yukiko gave birth to a boy, Yukiko and Ayato decided that they would instead name the first daughter they had after Fynn 'Kisa'.
