Ayako
Template:FF4MajorGhostAyako is a ghost from Fatal Frame IV.
Biography
Ayako was hospitalized at Rougetsu Hall when she was 12 years old, after displaying sudden symptoms of memory impairment. She was referred by the hospital Director, Shigeto Haibara, and therefore was treated with respect by the hospital staff, although her personality was destructive and sadistic. Her last name was purposefully not mentioned to other patients, so as not to reveal who her blood relations were. Ayako's family name may also have been the reason why her antics were tolerated at the hospital.
She had a fascination with killing and causing harm to others,[1] and would often purposely injure the nurses and other children. She bullied her fellow patient Madoka Tsukimori viciously, beating her up and pushing her down the stairs, and even cut off the head of Madoka's pet canary with a pair of scissors.[2]
Although her Getsuyuu Syndrome was mild compared to others, Ayako showed the symptomatic obsession with particular objects - in her case, living things that had been destroyed or mutilated.[3] She considered people her "toys", and paradoxically treated the "toys" she liked worse than the ones she disliked, as she considered that hurting them made them prettier; Madoka was her favourite[4]. She also destroyed dolls, hanging their severed limbs from the ceiling of her room.
On the Day Without Suffering, Ayako saw a man Blooming outside. She retreated to the room with the canopied bed that was connected to her normal room, and waited there for somebody to help her.[5]
