"And if by any chance I might be forgiven, please grant me the miracle of smiling with that person, when the seagulls cry."

- Sayo Yasuda

Sayo Yasuda, born Lion Ushiromiya was the sixth child of Kinzo Ushiromiya and the true heir to the Ushiromiya family. After a horrible accident the child was gravely injured and believed to be dead by Kinzo. The child however survived and was raised as a female servant of the Ushiromiya family under the name Sayo Yasuda. Later in her life she planned to bring about the Rokken Island Mass Murder Incident.

History
Early Life "They died! They fell from the cliff down to the rocks below! No, they died because I wished it!"

- Natsuhi Ushiromiya

Born into the Ushiromiya family as the illegitimate child of Kinzo Ushiromiya and his daughter Beatrice, the child was given away to the wife of Kinzo's first son, Natsuhi Ushiromiya, who had been unable to provide the family with an heir. Believing the child to be from a local orphanage, Natsuhi raised the child but quickly became annoyed with Lion and grew to detest the child, seeing the child as an insult to her for not being able to produce an heir. One day the woman became fed up with the child and told one of her maids to take it far away from her. Natsuhi however ended up following the maid and child to a cliff on the island and in a fit of rage and despair she pushed the two off and left them for dead. Unbeknownst to her and Kinzo the child had survived the fall with nearly fatal injuries but thanks to the quick action of Ronoue Genji and Terumasa Nanjo the child made a full recovery albeit with a "body that is unable to love". The only people to know of the child's survival were Genji, Nanjo, and Chiyo Kumasawa.

The child was given to the Fukuin House and raised as a maid. While in the Fukuin House the child was given the blessed name "Shannon". Eventually the child was reintroduced to the Ushiromiya family nine years later as a six year old girl named Sayo Yasuda. Though she was weak and feeble she was hired by the Ushiromiya family thanks to Genji pulling some strings in hopes that Sayo and Kinzo would one day meet and form a father-child bond without revealing anything to either party.

A New Life "Don't worry. I'll help you through. Let's give it our all together, okay?"

- Shannon

While in the Fukuin House Sayo was always seen as frail and a loner by the other maids raised in the orphanage. Due to this she was often bullied by the other maids of the Ushiromiya family who saw her as inferior and undeserving of working for such a prestigious family. The young maid in response had disconnected herself from the name Shannon and gave the name a life of its own. Shannon became Sayo's first imaginary friend who served as everything Sayo aimed to become. Whenever Sayo was being bullied, Shannon would always offer the small girl words of encouragement and praise.

Eventually, Sayo was given the nickname "Yasu" by the servants. The maid had never understood why she was picked to work for the Ushiromiya family even though she was so young and she viewed her situation as a test from God to make her into a wonderful person. She continued to endure bullying from her fellow servants. Yasu became known for often losing things and she blamed her forgetfullness on a witch. Being taught by Kumasawa about the Legend of Beatrice, the maid had blamed everything on her specifically. One day Yasu was assigned to clean the chapel and lost a small broom she had been using to clean the windows. Left alone by all the other servants she was left alone to search the chapel till nightfall. Having been unable to find the broom and breaking down in tears she finally was confronted by the culprit behind her missing objects, Beatrice. The witch laughed at and teased the young Yasu using her magic. Beatrice returned the small broom to the girl only before taking it back and deciding to keep it as a memento of their new found friendship. As the witch laughed she disappeared and Yasu was left alone in the chapel. In reality, the woman in red that appeared before her was merely another imaginary friend of Yasu's that she created to encompass the phenomena of things mysteriously disappearing without reason. Though Yasu continued to work her hardest she was still despised by the other servants who would find reasons to be cruel to her whenever given the chance.

Due to Yasu's forgetfulness she decided to seek help for her problem of always losing things. Kumasawa helped the girl by teaching her a useful trick that involved tying her keys to another part of her uniform so they wouldn't get lost. This was known as the Spiderweb Charm and though planned to be used to make sure she never lost anything, Yasu found it rather impractical to use that much. To combat this she was taught another trick by Kumasawa that involved imagining putting all the objects in their homes. Beatrice appeared to her and commended her for a job well done at countering her magic and told her she would be waiting for a chance to get even with the child and tells her about her bad luck and to be careful. Eventually, a master key was lost and the first to be blamed was Yasu but thinks to her new trick she was able to prove to the other maids that she had her key on her and that it was actually another maid that had lost their key.

As time went on the maid eventually took interest in the murder-mystery genre and began reading books such as "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie. She began to play games with herself that she saw a battle between a witch and a human. If she could solve it by the end then the human side wins. If she has to wait for the truth to be revealed then the magic side would win. She discussed the novels more in depth with Kumasawa and became a huge fan of the genre as a whole.
