History
Yae is a land goddess created by Yuhi from a yaezakura, intended to be a parting gift for the Hiizumi Clan and watch over Sakurashinmachi. Upon her birth however, she decided to follow Yuhi instead which Natsufumi Hiizumi insisted as well.

At some point during their travels, Yae and Yuhi encountered a fallen blacksmith and exorcised him. As precaution, Yuhi sealed a sword forged by the blacksmith to prevent it from being sharpened.

Several centuries later, while wandering, Yae and Yuhi encountered V Calvani F and Mariabell and are able to defend them from pursuers. Yae and Yuhi decided to escort them to their destination of Sakurashinmachi. Along the way the group encountered Chiaki Hiizumi, whom they asked for directions. During their night at Sakurashinmachi the group along with many others are attacked and captured by Akane. Akane attempted to force Chiaki to cause the citizens to fall. Yae roots herself to Sakurashinmachi, becoming it's land goddess, and regained her power along with a new sword Spring Wind, which she used to protect the citizens. During the aftermath of the events, Yae takes Mariabell's old nun clothing for herself to wear.

At some point in time she met and befriended Tomoe.

Yae was responsible for sealing the powers of dragon yōkai such as Machi Yarizakura and Hime Yarizakura. When Hime became mayor, at her request Yae sealed them memories of the citizens of Hime being a yōkai.
