Sanae Eshiro

**Sanae Eshiro** is a player of the Horizon game.

## Appearance

Sanae has a rather delicate appearance, but that's probably because of his shy personality. He has blue hair and, like his sister Ebato, light brown eyes. He doesn't care much about clothing like his sister does, but Sanae asks her for help with it, so people usually say he is pretty stylish.

## Personality

Sanae is very shy and doesn't talk much, which is kinda surprising knowing that he has a very extroverted sister always by his side. He is very calm, rational and delicate, usually avoiding conflict and crowded places.

However, Sanae is also very charismatic and people seem to like hearing him speak his mind, as he is very funny and easy to get along with. But, unlike his sister, he has to organize his mind before doing tasks or when he has too much stuff to do, otherwise tending to get lost and messing things up.

## Background

Sanae and his twin, Ebato are from a very loving and supportive family. Sanae thinks his parents are the best he could wish for and is deeply grateful to them for supporting his transitioning and his love for piano. Like Ebato, he is very proud of their handmade clothing shop. He used to help their mother seam so he wouldn't have to talk to anyone on the shop, as at the time Sanae was very disphoric of his appearance.

Growing up and getting more confident, Sanae started helping his father with sales, and still does to this day, as his hands tend to hurt after long hours of playing the piano, which became more than a hobby for him.

He graduated school with honours and his mother always remarks that Sanae is the best pianist that exists and that they will always support his dream of joining an orchestra.

## Relationships

### Ebato Eshiro

Sanae has a really good relationship with Ebato and they support each other in every aspect possible. He loves his sister very much but sometimes gets annoyed by Ebato's behavior as she is very loud and tends to be careless. He understands that's just the way she is and probably won't change, yet he just worries a lot about her safety and gets separation anxiety when thinking about Ebato going away for new competitions.

However, he understands that this is her dream and will support her forever, knowing that his fears are irrational and pointless, as Ebato won't ever leave him.

### Hisui Murasaki

They met during the time that applications to join the Moonvale guild were opened. Hisui seemed to have an almost instant interest on Sanae, as his shy personality made him somewhat mysterious. He helped Ebato and Sanae join the guild and seemed to really enjoy their company.

Hisui always tried to get closer to Sanae, but at the same time, both of them were too shy to take any action, which they got used to after some weeks of being together on the guild. Sanae's trust on Hisui is very strong and seems relaxed when they are together.

## Abilities and Equipment

### Abilities

**Enhanced Speed & Strength:** Vampires are faster and physically stronger than other classes by default, being extremely agile and proficient in battle.

**Vampire Bite:** Vampires can bite their enemies, making them lose HP for up to 2 minutes. There is also a 1/8 chance that Vampire Bite will make their enemy faint. When leveling up this ability, it restores the player's HP by up to 35%.

**Invisibility:** Vampires with a higher level are the only class that can turn invisible without items or magic. They can be invisible for up to 3 minutes depending on their level.

### Equipment

Sanae wields a **dagger**, as he thinks it is a very efficient weapon that can be used either for stealth kills or to have more intense fights. He isn't as fast as Ebato, so Sanae usually plays as a support to her in battle, either finishing kills or tricking enemies.

## Trivia

* The first song he played successfully to completion on the piano was "Der Flohwalzer", a very simple song made for beginner pianists.
