  Spoiler: Elisian DND campaign plot details follow.  The fan that she wields has 6" daggers built in to the "bones". These can be sheathed or unsheathed by bending the fingers holding the fan.
### Personality

In childhood, Sati was considered a polite and soft-spoken girl. When attending noble events, she would act with perfect precision (posture, tone of voice, and actions). This made her highly valued in her branch for reconnaissance.

## Background

### Early Life

Sati was born as one of five daughters in the Ursa branch. She was the middle child and was often forgotten in comparison to her other sisters. She was average in almost all of her skills, except for her ability to blend into crowds. Her parents pushed her into specializing in that field. Sati allowed her parents to make all of her decisions for her, knowing that at the end of the day she didn't truly have a choice.

She met Castor Avis at his coming-of-age ceremony. He was a jovial man with a bright personality, and she found herself laughing along at his antics which was a rarity for her. When her parents had decided that he would be her life mate and would move to Reolon to serve the Avis branch, she was strangely happy about the decision. Sati felt as if finally, her life may have some meaning beyond being average.

### Marriage and Children

Shortly after Castor's coming-of-age, a marriage ceremony was held for both him and Sati. Both naive and young, Sati and Castor believed that they would be supported by Castor's older brothers and would continue to be backups for their family line. Sati gave birth to Rice a year after their marriage. The Avis family was overjoyed as he was the first-born in the new generation.

Three years later, Sati and Castor went to have two more children, Fafa and Laré. By five years, Rice showed incredible talent in the art of assassination. He had not yet experienced a live target, however his speed and precision were admired by all in the Order.

One fateful day, Castor's father and brothers were assigned a difficult mission. They never returned, and with that, Castor's personality began to shift into one that Sati no longer recognized. Castortook his place as Mentor quickly, and began to treat the family with a level of intensity beyond reasonable. The pressure put on Rice was so great that he was pushed into assassination training at the age of 9. When Sati had spoken up about this decision, Castorhad simply answered that it had to be done in order to preserve the family line. Soon, Castor's pressures began to take hold of Sati as well. He would often criticize her, wanting her to be the perfect partner in the eyes of other nobles.

In order to try and meet his lofty expectations, Sati threw herself into everything she could. She took care of his ailing mother who's mind was slowly lost after losing her husband and sons. She also took on difficult infiltration missions, and handled Fafa and Laré's early education as Castor handled the acquisition of the Avis branch. Soon, Sati gave birth to her final two children, Luma and Sola. Seeing that Sola had not survived, Castor gently held Luma in his arms and gave a disapproving look to Sati. That was the only interaction that they had on Sola's passing.

After the passing of Castor's mother and of Sola, Sati had begun to decline mentally. She insisted that Castor spend more time with her, and when he declined she lashed out at her children. She constantly pushes even higher expectations onto them, especially Rice and Luma as Castor would spend the most time with the two. This only worsened after Castor's affair with The Lioness of Pheodai. Her instability and paranoia soon saw Lyari's influence in her own children, and she began to accuse Rice and Luma of being bastard children. Luma suffered the most abuse from her mother, being the youngest who was not allowed to leave home and unfortunately shared the most similarity with Lyari.
