Saya is average in overall height and build.  She obviously suffers from albinism, with characteristic pale skin, eyes that are a sort of pale pink or purple in color, and extremely light hair.  She usually wears sunglasses when out and about, or wears glasses with lenses that tint automatically when exposed to bright light or UV.  She isn’t the sort to keep up with current fashion, and most of her clothes that aren’t her school uniform are far behind the latest trends.  Due to her illness, Saya has several surgical scars.  

[b]History: [/b]
Saya’s family are caretakers and priests for one of the local shrines.  As a result, she has an actual house that’s a good size and something of a rarity in an arcology.  Her parents are traditional and strict when it comes to duties to the shrine, but otherwise Saya can usually avoid trouble if she’s got a good enough cover story and luck on her side.  She has an older sister whom she adores.  The two sisters get along well enough ,with the usual amount of friendly ribbing, and they split the household chores between them.  They both have to work to maintain the shrine’s grounds and help out during festivals.  

Saya wasn’t really born healthy, and she wasn’t born lucky, either.  In addition to her lack of pigment and associated vision problems, she’s struggled with illness for much of her life.  Modern medicine keeps her living a surprisingly active lifestyle, but she still needs frequent hospital visits and surgery to replace failing organs or otherwise treat her frequent medical woes.  

Saya’s school life is probably what one would consider unremarkable.  She’s not very smart, so she works hard for her grades.  She has a few friends and hangs out with them.  She watches weird shows and makes costumes based on the characters.  Sometimes she tries to drag her friends into doing the same.  Her unusual appearance alone is enough to set her apart, leading to the occasional odd look or people talking behind her back.  Usually, it stops there, but sometimes things escalate into outright bullying.  Saya putting up with things in as much good humor as possible likely does not help matters either.  

She and Mako are acquaintances, having met several times at the school nurse's office, or occasionally at the hospital.  Outside of small talk, she doesn't know the older girl very well.  

[b]Personality: [/b]
Despite her weak constitution, Saya is energetic, outgoing, and positive.  She works hard to get what enjoyment she can out of her good days, and rather than depend on others, tries to be someone they can depend upon.  She helps others who she feels are suffering or in trouble, and she is perhaps a little too naively trusting.  

She is also delusional.  She believes herself to be a magical girl, even if she is demonstrably not.  Surely, she can rush headlong into danger and things will work themselves out just like she’s the protagonist of some sort of show.  This seems to be something of a coping mechanism for what’s happened to her.  

Since her union with her symbiont, Saya has slowly become more cold-tempered, cruel, and violent.  She’s more intimidating than she has any right to be, and seems to enjoy frightening her enemies with displays of her own strength.  Even if she wants to befriend or get through to an enemy, she’s more than happy to beat them into submission first.

[b]Natural weapons:[/b] 
[list]
[*] [i]Talons:[/i] The nightmare’s hands are tipped with long, deadly talons.  
[*] [i]Tentacle sheathe:[/i] The nightmare grows a set of tentacles that are usually retracted into one forearm.  They can be used to entangle or grapple an opponent as well as do damage.
[*] [i]Shoulder Pods:[/i] Each shoulder pod fires crimson bolts of energy capable of punching through walls.  
[*] [i]Depthless Strike:[/i] A wave of energy fired by striking the ground or another surface.  It travels along a physical plane and can even follow it around corners to strike foes out of sight or in cover.  
[/list]
[b]Limit Weapon:[/b] 
Mystic Blast - Both shoulder pods charge up and unleash a terrifying blast of energy 2 meters wide and as tall as the tager.  This blast is capable of taking out walls and even powered armor, damaging anything in its path.  

[b]Other supernatural Abilities:[/b]
Standing a full head taller than most tagers, Nightmares are stronger and more terrifying.   They can often lift and throw cars, or similar feats of extreme strength.  Nightmares are just as quick as their brethren, they just hit a lot harder.  As well armored as most combat tagers, nightmares regenerate very quickly, often returning from near death to deadly within the span of several minutes.  Saya’s has also manifested the ability to detect things by heat signatures.  

[b]Personality traits:[/b] Aggressive, violent, and overconfident.  Nightmares are menacing, bloodthirsty, and always ready to pick a fight.  While not driven to be in charge, a nightmare is the sort to question authority, if not outright rebellious.  

[b]Hybrid Form:[/b] Saya’s eyes become solid black, she gains her thermal vision, and may sprout her claws.
