Appearance

Satsi has a ruffle of short-cropped, messy hair, naturally black though dyed frequently to a rainbow of colors and back for various disguises. Her frayed bangs are short enough for her edgy tastes but long enough to have something to grab on to, falling messily over her forehead and cheekbones and reaching her chin at their longest. She has piercings in many places, but mainly decorates her ears with innumerable and varied studs and rings.

Satsi’s face is stubbornly vital for her thirty-something years, giving a mischievous glint to her mature features. Her sharp, angular almond eyes are chocolate brown, nearly always lined with dark, flashy makeup, and her skin is an oriental tan. She can always be found with a classic, red-painted smirk flashing bright as blood over her bone-white, perfectly straight synthetic teeth. She has a dull, thick horizontal scar slashed across the bridge of her nose that flatters her bold appearance, two smaller scars on her cheek and chin, and two slashes all the way around her throat, one smooth, the other jagged.

Notable Marks

Satsi is more scar than skin, with many other scars besides those on her face, varying from small to large marks of many shapes carved over her entire body: both her hands, arms and shoulders, on her collarbone and across her sides, around her stomach and down her torso, down each leg, and the bottoms of her feet. Her most notable scar, though, is the thick rope of disfigured tissue that yawns down her back around the exposed cybernetic spine installed to replace her own.

Another notable though often hidden marking is the reddish, waxy weal of burn tissue on the left side of her abdomen, just over her lowest ribs: a brand of the Black Sun Cartel logo. She has four small tattoos, an expanding family of multi-hued blue butterflies on her left shoulder, the crest of an Arconan Fade on the inside of her left wrist in red and black, and the numerals of her daughter's birth date — 34.10.07 — wrapping around her right wrist like a bracelet of black ink; the last, the mark of a high-ranking Inquisitor, snakes up her inner right forearm, invisible when not activated properly.

Pretty Little Liar (General Aspect)

Satsi once lived only to serve her former lord, Jashin, in the Black Sun Cartel. Known then as the Demon's Doll, she was his enforcer, spy, courtesan, assassin, and lieutenant.

Satsi learned to assimilate with any level of society, from backwater gutters to senate ballrooms, to invent new identities or disguises in moments or over months of deep-cover planning, and to use her body as her best, most versatile tool. She can bring someone to their knees with her voice, steal their secrets with her curves, and improvise and implement a convincing cover story with all the grace of a trained performer. Manipulating people — whether through seduction, violence, or crafted lies — is second nature to her, a career and her chief method of interacting with the world. Among other risks, this makes it difficult for her to earn genuine trust, respect, or aid from others, with rare exception.

My Heart, My King, My Brother o' Mine (General Aspect)

There is nothing more important to Satsi than her twin brother, Uji. Period. She’ll do absolutely anything to keep the ex-Jedi alive, well, and happy; and if she failed, she’d tell whoever was digging his grave to dig two instead. While she will wear confidence, bravado, and charm as masks in public, she only shows her most vulnerable side with him.

Unlike most siblings, however, the twins have the Force in their shared blood and are connected by an inborn mental bond. They can sense one another when close, and glean impressions of condition at distances, though Satsi's inability to effectively wield the Force means she cannot shut these sometimes distracting impressions out. They are reactionary when together, sparking wild emotion, and yet it’s when they’re together that they’re steadiest, capable of perfect synchronicity. However, if separated unwillingly, Satsi will jeopardize all else until reunited with her twin.

By the Grace of the Fire and the Flames (Personality Aspect)

Satsi's life, love, and drive all came from pain, and she's complicated in the way that often gets her titled "psychotic bitch." She is a proud, stubborn free-spirit at heart and it shows in her bad attitude, troublemaking tendencies, and sharp tongue. Most people apply the word “subtle” to Satsi only with sarcasm, but a few who know better will see other, wiser sides to her. She is often violent, vulgar, wild, gutter-rough, and all manner of hedonistic, reflected heavily in her natural speech and mannerisms. Simultaneously, she can also be thoughtful, clever, incredibly devoted, and graceful as a dancer. A very precious, beloved few will find headstrong compassion, generosity, and overprotectiveness from her; but most will likely be on the receiving end of a fake smile and mysteriously lighter pockets.

Most aptly, she's a shiny coin stained with dirt — there’s silver there, but it's hidden beneath a muddy surface.

A Heart as Loud as Lions (Personality Aspect)

Satsi has many faults, and she knows it. She’s ruthless, cruel, and causes little but pain. She’s weak at her core, codependent on people she fixates on. She’s damaged goods, broken, either unwanted or easy to use. She knows it, but she isn’t ashamed or afraid of any of those things. For whatever else she is, she is brave.

She believes in being true to and proud of herself, in being unafraid to feel fear, and expects just as much from others — often resulting in her throwing the word “coward” around when people shy away from things. Deep down, Satsi is a lionhearted girl, and it shows just a bit in everything she says and does. She’s bold in every insult she recklessly yells, in every battle she faces down, and in every instance that she admits to being afraid while soldiering on, head held high, all the same.

Shut Up and Dance With Me (Combat Aspect)

Satsi has no patience for Force-users, having spent all her life knowing that there were people like her and people like them. Satsi is at an inevitable, steep disadvantage against anyone wielding the Force. However, she’s survived this long, and knows that the best way to handle them is to play by her own rules.

Satsi has desperately devoted the last several years of her life to training to bring "sparkfingers" down to her level, studying how to spot them in crowds; prepare herself for their tricks and inhuman physical abilities; and even defend against and wield a lightsaber after practice with her twin. Accordingly, she relies on her tolerance for pain and feints and ploys to outlast, unbalance or otherwise unhinge her Force-fueled opponents before moving in quickly for the kill. She’s never needed any mystical mind powers to lay down a beating; but that’s not true for most Jedi.

Babe, Ya Think Yer So Tough?! Put Yah Hands Up! (Combat Aspect)

Few things make Satsi feel more alive than promising to break somebody’s pretty frakkin’ teeth on the curb — and then following through, with a few punches besides. She doesn’t just like a good fight: she likes to start fights, even if clearly outmatched. She likes violence, pain, and getting down and dirty. Whenever Satsi fights, it’s never just for survival. There’s always that carnal, wild edge underneath her skin, burning up her blood along with the anger simmering below.

Satsi battles with her whole body using her extensive martial arts training. She likes to feel the impact, feel things break and bend under her hands or under her skin, and as such doesn't prefer most ranged weaponry. Knives and pistols are deadly players in her repertoire, but most often, Satsi just charges headfirst, ready to throw that first punch and welcoming any hits coming her way as a result.
