Lady Sakuya (サクヤ,Sakuya?) is the Lord of the Sylph race in ALfheim Online and an exceptional swordswoman. She was elected as the leader of the Sylph race by popular vote (80% voice of the vote[2]). Her statistics are not very high due to her status as a Lord not allowing her to do much training. Despite her low stats, she is a formidable opponent in the Sylph dueling tournaments.
For a female Sylph, Sakuya had an excessively tall figure, with glossy, dark green hair so dark that it is nearly black hanging down her back.[2] She has white skin, almond eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips.[2] According to Leafa her beauty is that of a finely honed blade.[2] Sakuya wears Japanese-style clothing and a katana that hangs from her obi.[2] Her feet clad in high crimson clogs peek out from beneath the hem of her leaf green kimono.[2]
During a meeting with the Cait Sith, she was attacked by Salamanders led by General Eugene. At the same moment, Kirito flew in to challenge the general to a duel. After Kirito won the battle, she attempted to seduce him along with Alicia Rue. Leafa smothered their attempt, saying that she was accompanying him to the World Tree. At the end of the arc, Lady Sakuya led a combined force of Cait Sith and Sylph against the World Tree's Guardians in an attempt to aid Kirito with the battle. After Kirito reached the top of the World Tree, she ordered her forces to pull back.
Sakuya attended the party at Kirito and Asuna's home. Additionally, she was one of over 1,000 ALO players present during Yuuki's final moments of life.
