History
Ayame was a skilled Taimanin of the Fuuma clan long before the events of Taimanin Asagi (1). Two years before the events of Taimanin Kurenai, Ayame was blamed for the failure of an important mission of the Fuuma clan. As punishment, a section of the ruling body enacted an execution, by ongoing sexual assault.

She was violated by multiple Fuuma clan members, away from the village, for three days. Right before losing her strength and will to live, she saw the the blood of the men that assaulting her spilled by Kurenai. Transformed into a vampire-self, Kurenai killed all the men hurting Ayame and the view of the demonic looking Kurenai became her light and new confidence. Since Ayame's execution wasn't allowed in the first place, Kurenai and Ayame were both excused but Kurenai was still blamed for it and was not allowed to take become the next heir of the clan. Ayame blamed herself for Kurenai's sacrifice and swore eternal loyalty for saving her life.

Ayame moved together with Kurenai and even after the Shinganji Gen-an the head of the Shinganji died, remained with her outside of Gosha Village. Helping her with the work in the Himawari orphanage and on missions given to her by the government. Taking missions directly from, Section Three and the very disliked ex-Taimanin, now agent, Tomari.

Investigating Tendo Kazuma and his connection's to the drug Hallelujah. They failed in the capture him and were captured themselves in a follow up mission in King's Pleasure. Tomari was working with Tendo in secret and created an ambush, knocking out Ayame from behind. Both women were sexualy modified by Tendo. Due to the effects of a strong, hell tech slave curse, Ayame was forced to obey any command and was given to Tomari as a reward.

After being trained and forced by Tomari to perform multiple sex acts for other corrupt government people, she almost lost her sanity and forgot who Kurenai was. Taken to the auction at the House of Greed for her former friend. She took part in the torture of Kurenai but telling Kurenai that she "loved her" gave her pause. Before the show started her seal had been weakend by Felicia, a spy of Edwin Black and Ayame was able able to break free of the control by willpower.

Ayame took out multiple guards but became clearly outmatched even with her Ninja Art. Biting her own tongue of, she healed Kurenai that was able to use her Demon Form in a controlled manner to kill Tomari and fight her way out of the situation. Ayame watches barely conscious the situation but is about to die and was only saved by Kurenai that turned her into a free vampire.

Afterwards both women are questioned by Section Three and a hearing is meant to take place if "vampires are suited as representations of the Taimanin". Both lose their protection status of the government and further investigation is planned. However, both women disappear into the night on the day of the hearing, to embarking on a quest down Black and have not been seen since.

Timeline TABA
TK events played out, like in the true ending. Since Taimanin Kurenai plays right after the Igawa clan takes over for the Fuuma clan, as representation of the Taimanin. It has been at the very least over 13 (likely more) years since those events and they are still both considered missing. However, she and Kurenai are both encounter Fuuma Kotaro and at some point even fight him. Any body modification they suffered, have been blocked with the help of their vampire blood. Additional both do not look aged possibly also because of the vampire blood.

Timeline RPGX
Kurenai and Ayame age and birth has been change drastically. Now old friends with Fuuma Kotaro. Ayame, who was slightly older, would take care of the two at times. She dislikes men, as she was blamed for the failing of a mission, same as in the main canon. However, it is not stated if the torture also took place. TK probably didn't take part in any normal sense as she is not a Vampire and Felicia is still alive. Ayame lives together with Kurenai in Senzaki with a small number of Shinganji clan members. Ayame was the one faking the death of Library, under the request of Igawa Asagi, that has a secret connection to Shiranui and Ayame.

Timeline Action
Mostly the same as RPGX but without the Library plot. Though not seen yet, she has been mentioned to have followed Kurenai when she joined the Taimanin Task Force. Kotaro mentioning her in a fearful manner, should he wrong Kurenai in anyway.

Trivia

 * While she isn't great at direct combat, her sniper skills make her ideal for supporting close combat fighters.
 * Her skill is hard to sort out. As "The Eye" also called "Wind Reading", has a wind-like effect around the weapon. This could mean that it is a wind art or as she also is part of the Fuuma clan, it closer to an Evil Eye ability, as it also is called the "Eye".
