Full Name: Sae Tachibana （橘小枝）
Online Handle: kabochacha
Occupation: Student; School of Drama -- Modern Dance
Dorming: Freya Court; Room A56
Though not restricted to gender in the matter of stealing bodies, Sae prefers the smoother (and more manipulative) route of a female appearance. Her current form consists of long, purple hair and yellow eyes, accompanied by long nails and quite the curvaceous body. Sae has no problem flaunting what she has; if it isn't tight, then it's skimpy, but more often than not, it's both. Her current wardrobe consists mainly of dark colors and, most notably, a witches hat that she is fond of wearing from time to time.
Her PB is Blair from Soul Eater.
Sae gets a high off of the suffering of others, especially if she is the cause of it. It's a game to see how far someone can be pushed, she thinks, but she doesn't always like to push that far. Or, at least, not all at once. Other times, she won't push at all. It depends on her mood. Things can easily catch her attention, and lose it just as easily. She may forget about it for the rest of her life, or she may remember it at the seemingly most sporadic of times. But when she finds something of higher value to her interests, Sae becomes fixated on obtaining it. In this sort of situation, Sae's patience is surprisingly very long.
However, Sae is also possessive ... meaning, if the thing that once held much value then becomes invaluable to her, she won't simply leave it. What she claims is off-limits until she disposes of it. It doesn't mean she won't leave it to think itself free, or for someone else to lay claim on it, or whatnot; just that she will, in the end, be the one to extinguish it. Disposal is usually drawn-out and not a happy affair.
Sae hates losing, but what constitutes as a loss depends on the situation and significance of the thing she is losing to. She also shoves off responsibility and is very selfish. Most of these negative traits are usually masked over a more-tolerable exterior, though. Hundreds of years of impersonation has given Sae the ability to pull off any kind of personality imaginable. As such, it's difficult to notice, or understand, her true nature; very few have done so, none of them were alive for very long.
Last, but not least, naps > everything.
It was an easy task, though rather tedious, to get humans to pact with when you could offer them a solution to the all the bad juju that followed them. (Even if you were the one causing it.) And when the person was of no more use, or simply boring, they could easily be eaten, and the process would begin again. In this way, "Sae" came to materialization in the human realm by her own strengthened abilities of the pacts and devoured humans she went through.
The ability to materialize on her own was by no means the end, however. Sae continued to use people, but instead of simply creating pacts, she would take the form of a cat, and find herself a willing owner. After enough years of chilling around, Sae would eat them and, if there were other household members present, would deceive them with the identity of the person they had eaten, and devour them as well. She was also fond of taking the identity of young girls (by eating them and taking their place) as a means to cause malicious mischief and distrust among others before eventually gobbling them up. This also provided Sae with a seemingly endless supply of money to dabble in, as well as the label "nekomata," forked-cat.
In addition to gluttony of human flesh, Sae very much enjoyed being the cause of "mysterious fires" -- that is, fires she would create with ghost fire. This method of misdeed was what led to a pact with a foreigner, who had initially mistaken her for a witch. Interested in what connection she seemed to have with an image she wasn't familiar with, the nekomata accompanied this man to his home country of England, and instantly took a keen fondness to the tales of witches. Of course, this man eventually fell victim to her aura, but Sae remained in England. For the most part, she became the cat pet of "witches," furthering the connection with wicked witches and wicked cats, and on some occasions, the "witch" herself. (The mass persecution of "witches" was a fun, fun time for her.) This period heavily influenced Sae; she continues to wear a witches hat to this day, though not always. She had also made herself some fun by reanimating corpses, thus also furthering the belief of zombies.
Sae eventually returned to Japan and leisurely went about her way generating harmful instances, but after another handful of decades and a new stolen body, she decided to return to England. It would be nice to go to a school and edge on all those hard-working students, yes? And one school in particular looked especially tasty. Thus Countshire received a new student for the new term.
Sae materializes as a cat. In order to pass as a human, she needs to possess a corpse - usually, it is of someone she has eaten. The body will then be personalized, though always resembling its original owner; an example of this is the body's eyes. (Like Sae's original eye color, the corpses' eyes will become yellow.) Tying into her grasp on necromancy, Sae is able to raise and control the dead by dancing over their bodies. However, she can only keep them going for so long; after her energy wanes, the corpses will return to being just corpses - wherever they may be.
In addition to the world of hip-hop dance, Sae is well-versed in traditional Japanese dance and English folk dances. She loves fish, pumpkins, and warm places, hates dogs and (large amounts of) water. In her materialized cat form, she suffers a slightly lowered version of effects from food poisoning compared to ordinary felines; as a human, she just feels ill if those foods are eaten. (Quick reference: Onions, garlic, mushrooms, tomatoes, [raw] potatoes, chocolate, grapes/raisins, turkey, nutmeg [ :( ], dairy [is okay in small quantities.])
