Before she was revealed in the Famitsu magazine a few weeks ago, I didn't even know that she existed. But now that I do, I find that I'm liking her quite a bit.

Actually, Hayakawa-chan is fast becoming one of my favorites. Perhaps it's that screenshot where she's being BFFs with Kaihime. When I saw it I immediately imagined them in an imaginary Warriors Orochi 4 where they formed a sisterhood with SSX, Ina and all the other young female fighters in the WO universe. I usually start liking characters if I can link them to characters I already favor, so I guess Hayakawa is an example of it. Of course there are other factors, like her unique design and weapon, but I think her tie to Kai and Kai's tie to SSX was ultimately what initated her into my circle of favorite characters.

She looks nothing like her dad Ujiyasu, but I guess that's the whole point. Whatever she takes from her father is on the inside. I have a feeling that this inner strength is definitive of her role in SW4, and I look forward to where it can take her.
