Yae Tenzen (ヤエ・テンゼン) is a former member of the Priscilla Camp. Debuting as both a supporting and antagonistic character in Tanpenshuu Volume 4's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies story, she plays a antagonistic role in Arc 9 as an accomplice of Aldebaran.
A shinobi from the Vollachia Empire, she played the role of Priscilla's Grand Chamberlain as a result of being tasked by Chisha Gold to keep an eye on her, and later, to assassinate her. She disappeared after a brief fight with Al, seemingly having been killed.[1] In truth, Yae survived her encounter with Aldebaran, and seemingly went into seclusion until the Great Disaster's aftermath, at which point she joined Al's side in fulfilling his purpose for reasons unknown.
Appearance[]
Yae is a fair-skinned beautiful young woman around the age of twenty whose aura is akin to that of a cat. She has long, tied up red hair, jet black eyes, and slender arms and legs. She wears a maid uniform adopted from a Japanese style, having a base of red with black and white mixed in, as well as black leggings and boots.
Personality[]
Yae is shown to be quite eccentric with her playfulness. However, she is quite talented in instantly recalling information of one of the residents she was formerly associated with.
History[]
Yae was hired as a maid in the mansion by Leip Barielle before his incapacitation and death.[2] Yae worked alongside Priscilla and Al in the zombie infestation in Coffleton and the waterwheel among the Tenrill River. Confronting Edda Rayfast, the trio was ambushed, and Yae and Al were caught in a trap that the former escaped by kicking the latter's shoulder to grab ahold of the ceiling, causing him to fall into a large pit. Priscilla ordered Yae to retreat and search for Al. Happening upon Al in the underground water treatment facility several hours later, she followed his request to bring the Crimson Battlefront to slay the undead while he ventured to rescue Priscilla. The undead were successfully slain following this, and Al saved Priscilla. When everything was said and done, Al discovered that Yae was an assassin who had been sent to kill Priscilla. She rejected his offer to abandon her goal, and the two confronted each other in a brief fight. After it was over, Yae disappeared, and according to Al, she had decided to “resign” because of “familial matters”.
Abilities[]
Quick Reflexes: Yae is able to easily handle deadly surprise attacks with her kunai knives. She can swiftly avoid masterfully set traps as well, making her a fearsome maid and a great asset to Priscilla's chamberlains.
Intellect: Yae was regarded as a genius prodigy amongst the shinobi by the chieftain of the shinobi, Olbart Dunkelkenn. Her employer, Chisha, believed her to be capable of succeeding Olbart.[3]
Skilled Assassin: Though Yae did not display any signature shinobi techniques, with her skill among the shinobi, her speedy reflexes, and her keen intellect, she distinguished herself as a formidable assassin. She gauged that her skill was enough to assassinate the head of House Mathers or House Astrea, though not both, as she surmised that she would have needed to give her life to successfully eliminate one of them. Before her disappearance, Al accused her of being the woman who would kill Priscilla, having already done so once.
Excellent Markswoman: Yae has excellent throwing skills that she utilizes with her kunai. Despite the knives being relatively short, not even being able to cleanly pierce a person's hand through, she's easily able to dispose of any enemy she faces by masterfully targeting their weak spots, such as their heart or their forehead, killing them in seconds.
Equipment:
- Kunai: Yae carries several kunai on her person.
- Steel Wire: Yae carries with her thread-like steel wires that are attached to the rings on her fingers. She typically uses these wires to bind and trap her targets or bind things such as debris or fallen trees in the air. She can even use the wire to propel such objects with great speed, of course, with assistance. She can also use the wires by attaching them to her surroundings, and by using them as platforms, she can stand midair. With enough pressure, the wires can easily cut through flesh and bone and sever limbs from the body. According to Yae, she is the only shinobi to be able to use them.
