	Yae and her twin sister [[Sae]] were born in [[Minakami Village\|All God's Village]], the only children of [[Ryokan Kurosawa]], the acting [[Ceremony Master]] at the time of the [[Repentance]]. Although Yae was born second, she was considered the elder and stronger twin based on the [[Twin law\|belief system]] of the village. ~~Given~~ the social status of twins in the village, it is likely that the twins had very few friends except each other growing up. ~~Their diaries, notes, and official artwork suggest, however~~, ~~that~~ they were ~~both~~ close ~~with~~ the [[Tachibana Family\|Tachibana]] twins, [[Itsuki Tachibana\|Itsuki]] and [[Mutsuki Tachibana\|Mutsuki]].<br><br>		Yae and her twin sister [[Sae]] were born in [[Minakami Village\|All God's Village]], the only children of [[Ryokan Kurosawa]], the acting [[Ceremony Master]] at the time of the [[Repentance]]. Although Yae was born second, she was considered the elder and stronger twin based on the [[Twin law\|belief system]] of the village. Unable to bear the thought of the girls' eventual fate, their mother threw herself into the Abyss. Their father tried to give them a happy childhood without any pain or loneliness,<ref>[[Ceremony Master's Note 3]], [[Fatal Frame II]]</ref> but given the social status of twins in the village, it is likely that the twins had very few friends except each other growing up. However, they were close to the [[Tachibana Family\|Tachibana]] twins, [[Itsuki Tachibana\|Itsuki]] and [[Mutsuki Tachibana\|Mutsuki]], and they also befriended [[Ryozo Munakata]], the son of a peddler who visited the village occasionally. On one of his visits, Ryozo took Yae and Sae to visit a stream just outside the village. Having been told all their lives that the world beyond the village was corrupt,<ref>[[Bound Diary 7]], [[Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake]]</ref> Yae and Sae were captivated by its beauty, and while there, they made a promise to each other to be together forever.<ref>[[Butterfly Diary 7]], [[Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake]]</ref>

	When Yae and Sae were 14 years old, Itsuki and Mutsuki performed the [[Crimson Sacrifice Ritual]], but their Ceremony was unsuccessful. The responsibility then fell on Yae and her sister to perform the ritual one year later. It is unknown how much the twins were told about the ritual beforehand. Since their father was the Ceremony Master and their friend a [[Remaining]], however, they probably knew what the ritual entailed. Yae was vehemently opposed to the ritual, believing it cruel and unnecessary~~. She voiced her concerns to her father, and he tried to reassure her, but Yae was unconvinced~~. With the help of Itsuki, who was also opposed to the ritual, she made plans to run away with Sae, despite the fact that her sister wanted to stay.<br><br>		When Yae and Sae were 14 years old, Itsuki and Mutsuki performed the [[Crimson Sacrifice Ritual]], but their Ceremony was unsuccessful.

	[[Image:Blurtwins.jpg\|left\|100px]]While Yae ~~and Sae~~ were undergoing their cleansing to prepare for the ritual, the [[folklorist]] [[Seijiro Makabe]] ~~and his apprentice [[Ryozo Munakata]] came to the village to do research on local customs. Ryozo was an old friend of Itsuki's and had promised to help them escape and take care of them afterwards~~. The visitors were welcomed by the [[Kurosawa Family]], and treated well. While a guest in [[Kurosawa House]], Seijiro took a picture of Yae and Sae with the [[Camera Obscura]]. Although Yae's face looked normal in the photograph, Sae's was distorted. <br><br>		[[Image:Blurtwins.jpg\|left\|100px]]While Sae and Yae were undergoing their cleansing to prepare for the ritual, [[Ryozo Munakata]] returned to the village, along with his teacher, the [[folklorist]] [[Seijiro Makabe]]. The visitors were welcomed by the [[Kurosawa Family]], and treated well. While a guest in [[Kurosawa House]], Seijiro took a [[Warped Twins\|picture]] of Yae and Sae with the [[Camera Obscura]]. Although Yae's face looked normal in the photograph, Sae's was distorted. <ref>[[Butterfly Diary 1 (FF2)\|Butterfly Diary 1]], [[Fatal Frame II]]</ref><br><br>

	Despite the initial warm welcome given to the visitors, Yae and Sae believed their father was planning on using the men as [[Kusabi]] sacrifices. In an attempt to save him, the twins took Seijiro a [[Kurosawa House Map\|map]] showing a side door leading out of the house, and gave him the [[Hammer Key]] to unlock that door. They warned him that the [[Hidden Ceremony]] was approaching and told him to leave during the night. Seijiro sent Ryozo away, but stayed behind himself, and was ultimately sacrificed. Before leaving, Ryozo whispered to Yae that he would return for her and Sae on the night of the ceremony. She tensed up but said nothing.<br><br>		Despite the initial warm welcome given to the visitors, Yae and Sae believed their father was planning on using the men as [[Kusabi]] sacrifices.

	When the time came, Itsuki led the girls into the forest and showed them the path out of the village. He told them to go ahead of him and warned them not to look back. Yae followed the forest path without looking back while Sae struggled to keep up, begging Yae to not leave her. Not wanting to escape, Sae slipped and fell ~~on purpose~~, believing Yae would stop for her, both would be caught and ultimately be forced to perform the ritual. ~~The two were never reunited; Yae became hopelessly lost in the forest, and~~ Sae was captured by the [[Minakami Villagers\|villagers]].<br><br>		Before leaving the village, Yae paid a visit to Itsuki, who was locked in the [[Storehouse]], after Sae told her that he had something he wished to say to her. Itsuki claimed he had forgotten what he meant to say, but Yae understood his feelings implicitly. Although she understood that he intended to remain behind, she hoped that her wish to help him could take shape as a crimson butterfly and return to the village.<ref>[[Butterfly Diary 9]], [[Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake]]</ref>

Not wanting to escape, Sae slipped and fell, believing Yae would stop for her, both would be caught and ultimately be forced to perform the ritual. Sae was captured by the [[Minakami Villagers\|villagers]], and Yae never saw her again.<br><br>

	By the time Yae found her way back, the [[Repentance]] had already occurred, and the village was gone. All that remained was the Torii gate that had once been the entrance. Due to grief, shock, and possibly the Repentance itself, Yae lost all her memories. When Ryozo arrived, he found Yae weeping at the gate, repeating, ''"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry."'' Fulfilling his promise to Itsuki, Ryozo took Yae with him and took care of her. He noted that she suffered from terrible nightmares for a while, during which she would call out Sae's name, but she never consciously recovered her memories.<ref>''The Gate to Hell'', [[Zero Akai Chou Complete Official Capture Book]], p162.
