=== Background ===
[[Kinzo Ushiromiya]], after the death of his lover, [[Beatrice Castiglioni]], became infatuated with his daughter, [[Beatrice Ushiromiya]]. Beatrice Ushiromiya strongly resembled her mother and Kinzo, in a state of madness, believed her to be the reincarnation of his dead lover. He forced himself on her and impregnated her. Beatrice Ushiromiya gave birth to Sayo Yasuda. In order to hide Kinzo's sin from the world, Kinzo and [[Genji Ronoue]] offered the child to [[Natsuhi Ushiromiya]], who had been having trouble conceiving a child of her own. Natsuhi, distressed and angry at the offer, pushed the servant carrying the child, resulting in both the servant and the infant Sayo falling off of a cliff. The servant died upon impact with the rocky bottom, however Sayo miraculously survived. Sayo was found by Genji, who contacted [[Terumasa Nanjo]] to ensure Sayo's survival. Unfortunately, Sayo sustained heavy injury to the abdominal and genital regions, resulting in severe mutilation. Following this, Sayo was taken into the [[Fukuin House]] and was given the name [[Shannon]]. Fearing that Kinzo would eventually assault Sayo as he did Beatrice Ushiromiya, Genji decided to avoid telling Kinzo the truth of the accident, leading Kinzo to believe that Sayo had died in the fall.

Sayo seemed to have a good relationship with the House Director, who played with and taught Sayo about things that cannot be seen with one's eyes, but with the eyes of the heart. Through this, Sayo learned how to recognize beings not of this world at the Fukuin House and often spent free time in isolated rooms dreaming.
Basing on [[Chiyo Kumasawa|Kumasawa's]] stories of evil spirits of Rokkenjima, Sayo created the first incarnation of the witch Beatrice in the form of a demon that would later be known as [[Gaap]]. When Sayo's sloppiness resulted in incidents such as losing keys or cleaning implements, Sayo blamed it on Gaap's magic. Sayo and
To help avoid the witch's pranks, Kumasawa gave Sayo a spiderweb charm and taught Sayo a method to avoid losing things. Kumasawa's charms helped Sayo deal with forgetfulness and eventually regain confidence. As time progressed, the young servant formed a relationship with Kumasawa and started borrowing mystery novels from her. Sayo found discussions and theorizing as the most entertaining part of mystery novels. While Sayo is reading ''[[w:And Then There Were None|And Then There Were None]]'' Gaap-Beatrice posits that closed-room murders straddle the line between mystery and fantasy; once you read the answer, it becomes a mystery but if you remove that reveal, the story becomes a fantasy tale of witches. This idea sticks with Sayo,
As previous servants left, Sayo decided to make a good impression on new servants by teaching them the ropes since Sayo was the more experienced one. However, the new servants had already been warned about Sayo's carelessness and they didn't listen to Sayo. Because of this, Sayo played pranks on the new servants, claiming that the behavior was the result of being possessed by Beatrice, in hopes that they would begin to take Sayo seriously. Initially the other sevants didn't believe this but, after some time, they began to admit that something inhuman existed on the island, as the pranks became harder to explain. Sayo's desires quickly shifted from wanting to be the perfect servant to wanting to be a witch. Sayo later took on the title of Golden Witch, ruler of Rokkenjima's night.
