**Sadako** 「節子 ***Seedako***」 is a ninja who appears to be on a mission from the Land of the Rising Sun. She has been spotted in the Heart Kingdom.

## Appearance

Sadako has a lean and muscular body, with angular features. She has brown eyes and black hair. Her hair is arranged in a ponytail, tied with a green cloth. While she is rather attractive, she emanates an off-putting aura that makes most people not notice it. She has a tattoo of a dragon surrounded by clouds, starting on her back before twining down her arm.

Akali wears loose, practical clothing in dark colors, preferring light and mobile clothing over armor. She doesn't quite wear traditional Hino country clothing, allowing herself a bit of leeway with her appearance, and often chooses a style more on the cutting edge of things, taking a bit of liberty with her clothing, but always wearing shades of green, her favorite color. On missions she disguises her face with a green half-mask.

## Personality

Sadako is all-business and stern, someone who takes her job way too seriously. This shows through in many things including the slightly unnerving aura she emanates, which isn't truly scary so much as signalling that you should get out of her way or be mowed down.

Of all her traits, her extreme determination is probably her most apparent. If she want to do something she will cross oceans and climb mountains to do it, damn the consequences. This makes her slightly scarier, mostly due to the fact that she is more then willing to do things that no sane person would do if it gets her closer to her goal. To her the idea of giving up is simply not in the equation and while that means she occasionally does stupid things because she thinks it will help, it also means that she will go to any measures to achieve her goal. However, while it is hard to get her mind off a goal, once she finally does she will crash, mostly out of all the exhaustion she's been pushing down.

She does a lot of her work powered on adrenaline, however. She is capable of doing physically or mentally strenuous things for a long time, but when that is over she often crashes like a car, going to sleep for days or simply just needing a long break. While this is a normal, sane thing to do she still occasionally gets mad at herself for it, seeing it as the weak option to take.

Underneath all of it she is someone extremely scared of not belonging, to her clan, to Hino, to the idea of being normal. This even extends to how she treats her magic, acting like it is the Dark Magic of her clan rather then the Nightmare Magic it truly is, due not to wanting to be the freak or the strange one, simply wanting to just fit in. The tall poppy gets cut down, and Sadako is truly scared of being cut down next, moreso due to her being a bastard of the clan. She is extremely disciplined and believes that the best way to get accepted by her clan is to be perfect, no flaws and no failure. As a result she often doesn't truly know what it's like to relax, believing that she doesn't deserve to do it.

## Battle Prowess

### Magic

**Nightmare Magic:** Sadako believes her magic to be normal dark magic. This is untrue. She controls Nightmare Magic allowing her to reflect the nightmares and fears of those around her and bring them into reality. Due to to still being in denial about the true nature of her powers, she isn't the best at using this, and usually uses her magic in ways that mimick Dark Magic, not using its unique ability to mimic and bring out the fears of others to its fullest extent.

### Abilities

**Weapons Proficiency:** Sadako is proficient in all the tools of the ninja, preferring to use kunai and kama above most others but still able to wield many other weapons with the bare minimum of skill. She can also use her weapons for purposes other then fighting, such as being able to easily scale walls with her kunai by using them as climbing gear.

**Hand-to-Hand Proficiency:** To a lesser extant then her weapons proficiency but still there, Sadako is good at hand-to-hand, preferring the fighting style known as no holds barred. The martial arts she practices is mostly grappling based and Sadako is good at this, using the enemies strength against them.

**Above-Average Magic Power:** Sadako's power, while nothing to remark on yet, is still potent and developed through specialized ninja training. While she is extremely good at hiding her mana power, using it to cloak herself or even sometimes appear magicless, when she lets her mana out it appears like the fog of nightmares, creeping around her and causing a slight chill of fear in peoples spines, not knowing particularly why they're scared.

**Ki Detection:** Like all ninja's, Sadako is skilled in the art of sensing the flow of life energy, also known as Ki and interpreting it to predict her opponents moves in a fight, able to see surprise attacks coming and the physical weaknesses of a person in a fight. She also uses this to track people, memorizing their ki signature and picking it out from a crowd. As a result this makes hiding from her much harder.
