Sāya Kiseki

Sāya Kiseki (姫石さあや) is a character in the Aikatsu on Parade! series. She is the elder sister of Raki Kiseki and an Aikatsu! engineer.

Appearance
Sāya has chest-length messy and wavy wood-brown hair, with her bangs that come with grass-green highlights parting on the right. She has magenta-tangerine eyes and usually wears a pair of golden, red diamond earrings.

Personality
When working, Sāya tends to get to an obsessive stage where she acts villainous and sinister, which is seen from the fact that Raki is her test subject for all her engineering experiments, but she deeply cares for her sister and fully supports her dreams in idol activities. She is also truly passionate about her job as an Aikatsu! engineer, dedicated to continuing her research to watch and help all the idols grow.

Background
Sāya was first seen testing out Raki's Aikatsu! Pass in her office. As Raki and the others visit the different realms of Aikatsu!, Raki goes on a long search for Sāya, not knowing that she has always been watching Raki in the dark. Sāya's ultimate goal in sending Raki all over the Aikatsu! realm, other than uniting the worlds as an experiment, was for her to reach her dream of creating a premium rare dress, all while growing and meeting new people.
