Abe no Yasuaki - Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time – A Tale of the Eight Guardians -
.
Abe no Yasuaki
Unlike his fellow Hachiyou, Yasuaki was not “born” a human, but created through Abe no Seimei’s magical skill, and crafted into his current form through that same ability. For this reason, despite having the physical appearance of a twenty one year old adult male, Yasuaki has only actually been alive for two years. This in many ways explains his emotional simplicity and naivety, since he has not yet learned many of the things his companions have grown up absorbing. …When Yasuaki was “born”, Seimei told him he had been born to find someone important to him, and that he lacked something as a person - a heart - which could not be crafted. For this reason, Yasuaki has accepted his master’s words as meaning he’s not a “real person”, and therefore does not count in the same way as his Hachiyou companions. He believes he is the Miko’s “tool”. (from MAL)
