Personality: Sae is a person whose entire being revolves around two things: Her twin sister Yae, and wanting to die by Yae’s hands. While little is known about her early life, glimpses of her personality come out through the flashbacks and the writings of various characters. Sae grew up rather isolated, having few friends except for her sister Yae, and the Altar Twins, Mutsuki and Itsuki. This isn’t because Sae wasn’t friendly—the flashbacks show that Sae was rather kind and curious, but shy. Yae and her watch new arrivals to the village and wonder about them, but it’s Yae that holds the courage to speak to them first. She is curious about the camera they wield, though she grows concerned and immediately wants to leave it alone when a picture of her and Yae reveal Sae with her face warped. This shyness doesn’t come as much of a surprise, however—being both the only daughters of the head of the village AND sacred twins, the two were highly feared and held in awe by the other villagers in equal measure. It’s likely that if it wasn’t for the presence of other twins, the two of them would never had made friends with others their own age, simply because no one else wanted to interact with them. This made Sae rather lonely, though she reasoned that so long as she had Yae, she’d be okay.
Whatever Yae wants, Sae provides, showing a much more co-dependent relationship between the twins than normal siblings should ever have. Constantly told, and treated like, she’s the weaker of the two, Sae has difficulty forming opinions and decisions herself. SHe sees the ritual as a reasonable one—as Sae and Yae get older, they’ll inevitably have to grow apart and live different lives eventually. The sacrifice provides them a way to ‘become one’ and always be together, something Sae wants more than anything else. She’s terrified of being alone and trusts her sister beyond reason, believing that if she goes along with what Yae wants, they’ll truly always be together on way or another.
When Yae proposes they try to escape, Sae doesn’t refute it. Despite the fact that she DOES, in fact, want to complete the ritual with her, Sae pushes her own feelings aside to do what Yae wants. This forms a big crux of most of Sae’s personality—putting others before herself, because she’d grown up under the assumption that truthfully her decisions didn’t really matter. She was going to die eventually by Yae’s hand, so Yae is the one that mattered. Sae was just the sacrifice. Despite this, it’s Sae’s decision to be selfish for once that ultimately leads to the downfall of the entire village. During their escape, Sae purposefully falls from the mountain path in order to manipulate Yae into staying. This shows her capable of emotionally manipulating others to get what she wants—and she shows no guilt for the manipulation itself. What she does show guilt for is the aftermath of their tying to escape—Mainly Itsuki killing himself. She uses that as a basis to back her assertion that they shouldn’t have tried to fight their duty or their fate, that it would be better to accept it and give in.
Sae in the end meets her fate head-on— while she still tries to trust and believe in Yae, holding out hope until the very end her sister will come meet her, there’s a resentment towards not only Yae, but everyone involved for forcing Sae to do the ritual by herself. This is shown in how, after being killed and thrown into the abyss, the abyss corrupts and exaggerates her feelings to violent levels. She slaughters her father and the rest of her family, and the entire rest of the village, lashing out in pain and anger and resentment against it all.
In the end, despite being the antagonist, Sae is just a lost, lonely young girl lashing out at those that harmed her. The Darkness has corrupted her to some extent, making her mad with grief and resentment, but she genuinely does love her sister and just doesn’t want to be alone anymore.
Abilities & Skills: Sixth sense abilities, able to see and hear spirits—partially because she is one herself now. She’s also capable of wielding the Darkness, which essentially is a sort of miasma of sorts that corrupts spirits and makes them go mad. Through this she can control them to do her bidding.
She also can command the Kusabi, a one-hit-kill ghost. Sae herself is immune to most exorcism effects (or at least she’s immune to the Camera Obscura which is the only exorcising we see attempted on her).
Extremely agile and able to possess living people if they’re weak enough/sensitive enough to spirits.
Inventory/Companions: - Bloodstained kimono
- Her diary
Choice: Fae, with turnskin as backup.
Reason: Fae: The butterfly motif is kind of a given, with Sae being obsessed with becoming a butterfly, which is what completing the sacrifice ritual would have done. Other than that, the little curses a Fae could do? Kidnapping children? All things that align with Sae already—she did curse her entire village, after all, and spirits away any who become lost in the woods, like something out of a twisted fairy tale. Also it’d be fun to do something with the illusions—like Sae conjuring up an illusion of her lost sister... But it’d be fun to also play her struggle against the mischievous nature of the Fae, since Sae tries to be proper and well-mannered. It’d also be fun to play with her jealous nature coming out in petty ways when influenced by the Fae change.
Turnskin: Similarly to Fae, I’d like to play with the pack instincts since Sae really just wants her sister back and to not be lonely. She wants family! Having her get possessive and intensely loyal to her friends—or especially whoever she’s Bonded with—would be a lot of fun to play out. She’s very possessive and protective of her loved ones, to the point of it being unhealthy. With either turnskin or fae it’d be interesting to play out how it manifests itself with either monster form.
