Ashraf talks about Aya in this IGN video , I think it would be a good idea to add this extra info to the article Semagodo (talk) 16:59, August 22, 2017 (UTC)

Medjay[]
Has it been confirmed that she's a Medjay? It seems everywhere I read, it speaks of her as having the skills and training of Medjay, but it stops short of saying whether or not she was an official member. If I remember correctly, one source seemed to imply she got the skills from Bayek sharing his own training with her rather than her being a formal Medjay member. However, if she is an agent of Cleopatra, she probably is part of some unit, right? Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 15:01, September 22, 2017 (UTC)
- From what I read, she was trained in the ways of the Medjay, but wasn't one herself. If I had to guess, I would say it's because she had a vagina instead of a penis...Maxattac (talk) 15:41, September 22, 2017 (UTC)
Both Apollodorus and Bayek refer to Aya as a Medjay but only in the first or second person plural. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 10:32, November 2, 2017 (UTC)
Grammar/syntax issue with a specific clause[]
"where Sabu pushed forward the basic training of his son during several years"
I don't think this clause really makes much sense the way it is written. One might say they pushed forward the training by several years, meaning that Sabu accelerated the usual training and tried to cover more ground in a shorter period of time than is standard—without stating the exact length of time. At the very least, "throughout several years" might be better, but I still find it awkward though it's a bit hard to explain in exact grammatical terms.

Forgot to add the most important point which is that I'm struggling to rewrite this because I'm not even sure of the intended meaning or what it's trying to say. Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 11:55, October 12, 2017 (UTC)
- During his early youth, around 5yo if I remember correctly, Bayek was given basic training by the Nubian Khensa. The son of Siwa's protector, he was trained by the Nubians who were allies of the Medjay, learning to track, hunt, build a shelter,... After he discovered his Medjay legacy when he was around 15yo, it took him several months to find Sabu, his father began to formally teach him Medjay skills and Creed. Aya wasn't trained by Sabu, who disliked her as she represented modernity as opposed to the old Egyptian ways, but he tolerated the fact that Bayek shared with her, because they're were deeply in love and he needed them to breed to make more Medjays.

Aya can't be Amunet![]
Aya and the legendary Egyptian Assassin, Amunet, can't one and the same. In ACII, Ezio Auditore found Amunet's tomb in Italy durng the late 1400's, and Layla Hassan, the modern-day protagonist in ACO, found Aya's mummy hidden in Bayek's tomb, after it fell down a pit at some point in the past. Unless Amunet's corpse was somehow moved to Bayek's tomb sometime between the 16th and 21st centuries, Aya and Amunet simply can't be one and the same.

WELL. 2 POSSIBLE OPTIONS. HER BODY WAS MOVED TO THAT LOCATION IN AC ORIGINS OR IT IS A BIG PLOT HOLE. BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN. IT IS ACTUALLY AMUNET. WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE HIDDEN ONE DLC FOR MORE INFORMATION.KILLERBEE479 (talk) 06:26, October 29, 2017 (UTC)
I think the crypt in ACII is a shrine not actually a tomb. If that’s a retcon then it’s not too bad as far as retcons go. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 06:32, October 29, 2017 (UTC)
It was already pretty clear that none of the mummies in the AC2 tombs were the actual people but just used as symbolism. What is the possibility of all these people just so happening to be mummified (a practice that was not common outside of Egypt in the known world at that time), their mummies having been found, and then transported to Italy for some unexplicable reason? These tombs are homages, not really the final resting places of these people. -- Master Sima Yi Talk 12:05, October 29, 2017 (UTC)
One question. Why the page name is still "Aya"? The character cast away her identity and assumes the name of "Amunet". Kinda like Temujin assuming the name of Genghis Khan. Marcos Martín 01:02, November 2, 2017 (UTC)
Because she's more prominent to us as Aya than she is as Amunet. Slate Vesper (talk) 02:08, November 2, 2017 (UTC)
Strange Retcons[]
I just completed AC:O from start to finish on Hard Difficulty, and Aya does not kill Cleopatra at the end of the game. She simply threatens her, and states that she will be the last pharaoh of Egypt in front of who I assume to be Cleopatra and Ceasar's Child.
What's more, Aya is Greek. However, when she kills Septimius, she speaks the line that Ezio would say when he kills someone. "Requiescat in Pace." I don't know of any connection between her and Italy. She does confirm that she is Amunet. This is even weirder because Amunet's tomb is supposedly in Italy, but her mummified remains were confirmed to be buried alongside Bayek's in Egypt. Perhaps the tomb of Amunet in Italy is a fake. Or maybe there were two Amunets.

- What is under the Villa Auditore is a shrine not the actually burial place of the Assassins it is dedicated to. Aya/Amunet's connection to Italy was that she was in Italy at the time. The killing of Cleopatra was just the follow through of the threat we see in the game later down the road. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 03:04, November 15, 2017 (UTC)
- "Requiescat in Pace" is Latin, the "official" language in Rome. Considering Aya spent quite a bit of time in Rome, it makes sense she would have learned the language to be able to communicate freely. Ghost Leader (talk) 01:44, February 1, 2018 (UTC)
Bayek and Aya reunite?[]
We all know by now that Aya was buried with Bayek, but are there any sources that tell us whether or not the two reunited at some point before their deaths? SkyGuy-Let's chat! 02:07, December 3, 2017 (UTC)
- As far as I know, nope. It's possible that this may be explored in the future games, if the rumours are true that they are going to continue Bayek's/Aya's story. XOdeyssusx (talk) 04:06, December 3, 2017 (UTC)
- They had to reunite at some point. Isn't Layla their decendant? Their son is dead so they had to have another child at some point. KiritoLP (talk) 18:23, February 7, 2018 (UTC)
- Layla is not descended from Bayek and Aya; Layla made that clear during the modern-day sequence after she took care of the Abstergo goons sent after her. SkyGuy-Let's chat! 06:42, February 10, 2018 (UTC)
