She knows little of her parents...she was taken from her mother just before she died. Though curious about her birth family, and prone to making up outlandish stories about them, Sachiko was happy enough with her adopted elven community.Unfortunately, disaster seemed to follow in her foosteps, as the winter elves came under attack when she was still very young. She and her adopted elven brother escaped the carnage and fled down the mountainside. Days later they checked back, but found only ruination.The only person they knew who wasn't in the village was the driver of the caravan who sometimes came through; Sandru. They vaguely understood he was often in a town called Sandpoint, so they made their way there. However, it wasn't Sandru who finally helped them; he was away at the time. It was the elf Shaelu who took them in and helped them...though in her own typically rather distant way.A stranger to Sandpoint, and a bit of a wild child at that, Sachiko was viewed largely as a troublemaker by most. Maybe that's what brought her to Ameiko's attention. Certainly Sachiko was fascinated by the other girl; not the least of which simply because she WAS another human girl, and of Tian ancestry just like her! And of course, Ameiko's parents disapproved of their daughter hanging around this poor, refugee troublemaker...which just made it all the more fun.The irrepressible Sachiko hated feeling pinned down to just one thing, and instead did a little ofeverything. She buddied up with Sandru, convincing him to show her some of his tricks of the trade. Learned a little swordplay, and discovered in herself a touch of magical ability as well. But no matter what she did, Sachiko never shook the feeling that it wasn't enough. It wasn't right. She never quite fit in her own skin. So many times she'd look in a mirror, and it didn't feel like she was looking at herself.Somewhere, somehow, she'd find that missing piece that'd put the whole puzzle of herself into focus.[/sblock][sblock=Description]Sachiko is a very pretty young woman of Tian ancestry, with unusual white colored hair that she keeps short, and equally unusual yellowish eyes that gleam in the dark like a cat's. She has a lithe, slim build that belies her strength, and is most commonly seen with an impish, mischievous grin that seems a little too wide for even her cherubic face.She likes colorful, flowing things to wear when playing or lounging...and she likes dark blues and greys to wear when working her mischief. These two states compose almost all of her waking hours.It doesn't take knowing Sachiko long to see there's a lot of unusual things about her. From the coloration of her hair and eyes, to the slightly longer than normal canines that give her grin a kind of 'cute fangs' effect, to how she seems to prefer 'perching' on things to just sitting down. Any one or two of these things might just be an isolated oddity, or a normal variation of a foreigner. As it is though, most folks who think of her at all have some notion about why she is the way she is; each one different.[/sblock][sblock=Personality]Sachiko has what could generously be referred to as 'impulse control issues.' It's not so much that she doesn't think about consequences...she just almost always either thinks she can deal with them, or thinks it would be really interesting to see them. Her perverse talent for and enjoyment of needling and provoking people is paired with an equal skill for placating them. Above all, Sachiko cannot abide stasis...if there is nothing happening, she takes it on herself to make things happen. Even for her though, there are anchors. Her adopted brother and two best friends are, for Sachiko, the stable elements that keep her from flying off to the horizon and vanishing in a distant twinkle of light. She adores all of them, and while the manner in which she expresses those feelings is not always welcome (Ameiko was not all that pleased with her gift of a bag of 25 fresh frogs under her pillow), the sincerity she holds them with cannot be understated. They are the world to Sachiko, and threats to them are some of the very few things that can rouse her to genuine anger.In most circumstances, Sachiko appears to be composed almost entirely of buoyant opimtism and a boundless font of energy. The optimism frequently crosses over into overconfidence, and the energy means she's always pushing against whatever boundary might constrain her...be it a literal one or a metaphoric one. When directed properly, she can get an amazing amount done. Without direction, most of the time she just finds trouble to get into. Fortunately, she's just as good at getting out of it, most of the time.[/sblock][sblock=Relationships]Suldrel: The fact that she's adopted has no impact on Sachiko's relationship with her brother. She is fond of making up ever-increasingly bizarre stories about how a human girl can be a sibling of an elf, but in her heart it doesn't even matter. He is one of the very few people she trusts enough to depend on, wholly and without reservation, and trusts deeply enough to tell anything. Though he can be a real stick in the mud, she understands on some level that she's been a real handful for him to look after as well. While it's not accurate to say that she 'minds' him, he is definitely the person who has the most influence over her behavior.Fastus: One of her two best friends in Sandpoint, Fastus is one of her preferred targets for pranks and general tomfoolry...either as a subject, or as a cohort. She appreciates his tempramental nature, which rarely disappoints her in her constant quest for reactions in people. Out of respect for his craft, she has also made the forge and smithy into a kind of 'safe zone' for the young man...not out of any discussion or agreement, but just out of respect. Sachiko rarely goes in while he's working, because it's INCREDIBLY boring, but when she does it's always without guile or intent to make his life difficult.Ameiko: The other best friend, Sachiko takes eager delight in constantly trying to lead the young heiress into ill-advised schemes of mischief. It's rare that she targets Ameiko with mischief herself...at least not intentionally...but quite a lot of the trouble Ameiko got up to as a younger girl was with Sachiko urging her on. Ameiko has a secret weapon against this however, and that is stories of Tian Xe, which immediately make Sachi drop whatever she's doing and hang on her every word. Ameiko's family and history are things that Sachiko is powerfully hungry for, and pursuing that sense of belonging is one of the things that drew her to Ameiko in the first place.When Ameiko left so abruptly, Sachiko was devastated, and indeed couldn't be found around town either for a few days. She finally trudged back and was mopey and depressed for nearly a week before starting to recover. Then one day, Ameiko returned, but a distance had grown between them compared to before. Their reunion was happy, but there were things now that neither wanted to speak to the other of, and it was therefore incomplete. That distance hurts Sachiko, though only her brother and perhaps Fastus would have any idea how much. In typical fashion though, Sachi intends to attack that distance rather than simply allow it to exist...she wants her old friend back, and will stop at nothing to make it happen!Sandru: As far as Sachiko goes, Sandru is her bro. Her partner in crime. She's learned a lot from him...and he takes a vaguely paternal interest in how she uses the skills he's taught her. That said, he's almost never around for long so there's not as deep an emotional bond as one might think. Even so, she has a love of engaging in petty competitions with him whenever he IS around. Competitions that she is, for now, doomed to lose. But each one sharpens her skills just a little bit more...Shalelu: In contrast to how she views her brother, Sachiko definitely feels the 'adopted' in front of this sister. It's not that she doesn't appreciate her, or like her...she just doesn't have much in common with her or particularly enjoy her company. She regards the ranger more like how most kids view a 'stepmother' than as a sister, in most ways; with a vague sense that she's not 'really' part of the family, no matter what everyone says.[/sblock]</blockquote>
