Sasami, Ayeka's
younger sister is also a princess of Jurai. Although she is the
youngest of the royal descendants, she is the most powerful, and
commands Tsunami, a Jurai ship with incredible capabilities.
In the second
OVA series, Sasami reveals a secret about herself. When she was
much younger, she suffered a near-fatal accident. To save her life,
Tsunami assimilated with her, meaning that they are now closely
connected. Therefore, Sasami will resemble Tsunami when she grows
up (a fact that Ryoko and Ayeka are none too pleased about, since
they believe Tsunami is far prettier than either of them!).
Her chronological
age of 708/709 (in the OVA series only) is due to the fact that
she accompanied her sister on her 700-year mission to find Yosho.
As with Ayeka, this event does not occur in the TV series.
Her full name
in the OVA series is Sasami Masaki Jurai, being a descendant of
the Masaki house, one of the four royal houses of Jurai that are
descended directly from the first emperor of Jurai. The genealogy
of the Juraian royal family is significantly different in the other
TV series' continuities, and is not explored to any great depth.
