Personality[]

In flashbacks of her family and Kamui Shiro, Saya was a cheerful woman who always have a smile on her face. She cared for her children and her husband. She was close friend with Kamui's mother Toru Shiro along with her husband Kyogo Monou whom she knew since high school.

In reality, Saya was a more complicated person. From her ability as a Dream Seer, she knew right away that her relationship with Toru will be special. Knowing that she would live and died for Toru, Toru was contended with this; she was very happy with this revelation. Saya learned that her daughter inherited her ability as a Dream Seer and her powers was stronger than her. Although her power was less weaker than her daughter Kotori Monou, Saya was happy that her power was able to lead her to the person she loved.

Saya strongly believed she is destined to go to Hell for deceiving her husband and children for the sake of her wish. Despite what everyone would said if they learned the truth, Saya stated she is happy regardless. Although Toru is devastated that she can't save Saya from her fate, Saya informed her that would be impossible; Saya declared that only she alone decide her fate.

In her last conversation with her husband, Saya was shocked to discover that Kyogo knew the truth about her feelings for Toru. Kyogo knew the truth since the moment Saya first came to the shire. When Saya asked herself why did she married him, Kyogo tell her because he loved her; he have accepted that Saya will only loved Toru regardless of the fact she can't never love him. Before dying, Saya apologized to her husband for her inability to return his feelings. Kyogo tell her that there is nothing to apologize for as she was a wonderful wife and mother to their children.
