Character

Yae

One of the four recurring playable characters in the Mystical Ninja game series, Yae works for a secret organization of peacekeeping ninjas, investigating various conspiracies around Japan. In her debut, she and titular character Goemon weren't initially on friendly terms, as she had been investigating a crime in which Goemon was the main suspect. But when the true criminal came to light, all charges were dropped. Ever since then, Yae often crosses paths with Goemon and his friends Ebisumaru and Sasuke due to investigating the same suspicious activity, and has come to be a valuable friend and ally. In stark contrast to her friends' expressive (and sometimes explosive) personalities, Yae carries a mature demeanor and serves as a level head among the band of heroes, helping keep the focus on the objective. Fitting of her profession as a kunoichi, she is nimble and skilled with a katana, however she also packs unusual skills for her repertoire, including bazooka proficiency and the ability to transform into a mermaid.
