==Personality and Traits==
Sadanika is very open and polite to hunters - treating them as potential guests and tends to please, but will sometimes venture to the darker side things which often comes off as unsettling. Sometimes mentioning her heroine addiction. Her in-game character is to be depicted as a very anxious person and quite often busy. However this first kind interaction has a deep and dark contrast with her appearance in later games as she strays away from the timid sweet persona and ventures into a character that is more creepy and twisted.
==Game==
===The Spring Apartments===
The game starts at the entrance of the apartment complex. There is a secluded area in the wall, formerly it was only one woman. Her dialogue noted how men were quite scarce in the apartment complex. As of the recent update, this has changed, giving the lady a husband. The apartment complex is also filled with various men now.
As the hunter walks further, there is a railing. Formerly, there was a diary entry that laid on top of it, but as of right now, it was removed and replaced with a woman (most likely Hinata). Hinata would essentially ask if the hunter heard something. After the hunter is unable to hear the 'thing', she explains she must head off now due to the rain. The player insists she finds shelter too, although she expresses fear and how she cannot due to the sound coming from inside the apartment complex.
Walking further, the hunter can find a shrine that reads off a bit of dialogue. Walking inside the complex, the hunter was originally greeted by Ms. Sadanika herself, but as of now, she no longer speaks. As the hunter enters forward, a lady asks if the hunter would like tea, expressing how it's 'farm fresh'. The hunter declines, fortunately.
Continuing forward, the hunter can find the employees-only area. The hallway has two rooms, and the hunter can eavesdrop on a convo. Originally, the two conversing would mention the deaths, but as of right now, they only speak of the constant noise complaints about the odor.
When heading up the stairs, the hunter can find a library. There is a girl there studying. Formerly, there was dialogue by the windows but as of now was removed.
Moving forward, the hunter can also find two ladies gossiping about the situation, expressing their disgust with the odor and wanting to also make a complaint. This is a common occurrence as it happens again once the hunter is downstairs. There is also another woman staring at a broken TV who formerly would make dialogue on it, but as of now, it is gone.
Navigating more around the complex leads to a blue door that is locked. The hunter is prompted to head up the stairs. Formerly, there was a demon-like figure by the other side of the rail but is now replaced with just a diary entry.
As the hunter walks up more, the hunter can find a red broken gate. As the hunter walks forward, the dead body of Hinata falls from the roof onto the floor. In former updates, it was a dead body instead surrounded by a spirit, most likely Ms. Sadanika judging by her iconic kimono.
If the hunter walks forward, they can find a red door. Going through it leads the hunter to another game. This game takes place in an area for private events.
The hunter is let inside due to being a part of the Apartment complex. As the hunter approaches the stage inside, everything changes, Miss Ling, the performer, is dead. The stage is now replaced with a woman on her knees and floating above is Ms. Sadanika.
Walking onto the stage teleports the hunter to another game. While exploring, the hunter can find someone who can direct the hunter to the Niwa district.
Heading into the dressing room, the hunter can find two spirits surrounding a girl (unknown as of writing this). When the hunter goes up to her, it sends the hunter to a pitch-black area with a glowing noose at the end. The noose will then teleport the hunter outside of the room. As the hunter walks away from the door the hunter can find a girl from a gang called "2fates" beating up another member of another gang. She mentions his gang as "the gunjin gang"
After looking around more, the hunter can find another red door. Going through it will teleport the hunter to another game. This is the Niwa district. The game takes place in an alleyway, and to get through, the hunter has to find the hunter's way through the vent. Once the hunter has made it through, inside a room that is within the vents, Adventuring further, the hunter will find Mizuki scolding two of her followers, expressing her need for more intel on the twins.
As the hunter progresses further, the hunter can witness the assassination of Empress Hime Akai, representing Ms Sadanika in another life. This Sadanika haunts present-day Sadanika. This Sadanika was assumed to be during the Edo era. Many dead bodies are scattered on the floor, including soldiers.
The hunter is then sent to another part of the alleyway, where the hunter can find a woman encouraging the hunter to enter a building. As the hunter enters, the hunter can note how empty it is. Within this building, the hunter will witness Sadanika assassinating Mizuki.
Once teleported again, the hunter is brought into a river. This river at the end, would formerly kick the hunter but as of now, it finally teleports the hunter to a continuation of the game.
The hunter is met by most likely a younger Sadanika and a younger Mizuki, expressing the bullying Sadanika went through.
Throughout these games, Sadanika continuously refers to a woman she holds high on a pedestal. This woman is most likely her future wife.
The hunter is once teleported again in what looks like Sadanika's home. In her home, there are various portraits of her & her wife.
There's also a hole in this room, which has a radio. The audio from it is most like Sadanika's voice.
Inside the home, up the stairs, is a portrait of the twins. Another photograph prompts the hunter to say Arabella's name, which will open a door.
Inside this room, there is a bed. There is also a closet, which inside has mannequins. One of these mannequins falls with a knife in the back.
Continuing forward, through another door, we are teleported into a bedroom. On the bed lies Ms. Sadanika’s wife.
Through another door, outside of the room, we are met with the same gang from earlier. They confirm that Mizuki is affiliated with the gang, most likely tied to the killings conducted by Sadanika as well.
The gang members kill Sadan’s wife, throwing her off of the balcony.
Exploring around, we can find a tall framed door (or portrait) that shows those involved with Sages of Malevolence. Going through it takes the hunter to another section of the game. Sadonika, in front of Iris_forgotten, is in distress over the death of her wife.
In a black teleport, the cutscene displays how her wife died in an act of jealousy.
Ultimately, we can speak to Sadanika's wife, who is only a spirit. She tells the hunter that she wants the hunter to tell Sadonika that she loves her dearly, expressing that she has let the hunter finally exit. After her dialogue, the hunter is kicked from the game as the hunter walks into the red door.
The kick note goes: "Words cannot describe my love for you all. I adore you guys so much, without you I am nothing. My dear the hunters and myths, continue walking these halls of pain that I have created for you."
This marks the end of Ms. Sadanika's game, for now.
==Theories==
* Zalzerk, a minor "researcher" myth, provides a continuation to Sadanika's story.
** Their avatar appears multiple times in Sadan's games - sometimes in the Apartments and other times in the flashbacks.
**Zalzerk's name is referenced at the end of Sadan's games when a person gets kicked out of the experience.
**They appear to have researched something called an "EIF", a word that is mentioned multiple times in the papers nearby Zalzerk's avatar and various dialogue options throughout The Spring Apartments. Perhaps the "EIF" is related in some way to Sadan's situation.
***Zalzerk's game appears to have an explanation of the EIF.
**The user interfaces in Zalzerk's game are similar to those found in Sadan's games.

*The owner of the myth had based Sadan to be a character they could relate to and to be deemed as a personal character representation of their own experiences battling depression, anxiety and wanted to display their struggles in an artistic way.
