Ayane is the kunoichi prodigy of Hajin Mon, the dark side of the Mugen Tenshin clan. Although she is a half-sister to Kasumi and Hayate, she is doomed to the shadows because of her cursed birth. While she has an intense hatred towards Kasumi, who was brought up in a privileged environment unlike herself, she also feels strongly drawn toward Hayate. She has pledged her entire existence to the task of assisting Hayate in his plan to destroy DOATEC.
