Mind the Gap Moe: Saya is tiny by modern American standards, generally the sort of woman who gets thought of as "cute", and tends toward the unassuming. That means people tend to expect certain types of attitude and behavior and are often surprised to find that reality doesn't always match up to expectations. Or even come close. To those in her circle she can be the sweetest person imaginable. To everyone else, she can be as cold and hard as steel.

夢薙の劍: Yumenagi-no-tsurugi, the dream-cutting blade, is the name that Saya was known by when she was in Arcadia. She has remained true to portions of that name since her return, and is known as a talented oneiromancer.

Broken Blade: It's often hard to miss some of Saya's disabilities, even for those who can't see through her Mask; her right arm ends about halfway to where her elbow used to be. Sometimes she wears a prosthetic, sometimes she doesn't.

VTuber: Being a virtual YouTuber means that although she's wildly famous in a very niche subculture, it's a fame that comes along with anonymity by nature since her true face is hidden behind a persona. There are only a small handful of people who know who she is in real life, and they largely have a vested interest in not betraying that trust, whether that's a financial interest, mundane contractual obligation, or magically bound pledge of secrecy. She's known for her skill at games, for her affection toward her fans, for a quick wit for insults and amusing narration, and her music, which is often ad-libbed on stream about whatever is happening on the stream at the time.

Video Games: Saya's online personality is well known in online gaming circles. Whether it's competitive games like Overwatch or League of Legends, or MMOs with PvP elements like Black Desert Online, World of Warcraft, or Guild Wars 2, she plays a lot of games and ends up being the best of the best in most of them. In MMOs in particular she's known as someone who finds joy in hunting down griefers and making their lives miserable. At the same time, she has a reputation for being fabulously patient and helpful with anyone she considers to be "her" people, whether it's her viewers, VTuber coworkers, or guild-mates.

Enthusiastic Anachronism: Despite being displaced in time, having originally come from the late days of Edo-era Japan, Saya embraces the modern world with enthusiasm. She's almost relentless in her pursuit of topics that she had no exposure to in her original lifetime, whether that's because of innovations or just exposure to cultures other than her own.
