Description
Personality
Saki Hanajima is a complex character who presents a seemingly aloof and intimidating exterior, masking a deeply sensitive and caring individual. Initially withdrawn and self-deprecating due to past trauma stemming from her psychic abilities, she maintains a stoic, monotone demeanor and prefers solitude. However, beneath this reserved façade lies a sharp wit, a dry sense of humor, and a fierce loyalty to her close friends, Tohru and Arisa, whom she fiercely protects. While outwardly calm and collected, she possesses a surprising level of perceptiveness, easily reading people's emotions and intentions through her unique abilities. Despite her mature and level-headed nature, Saki also displays a more playful and even lazy side, often avoiding physical activity and schoolwork whenever possible. She is shown to have a fondness for food and enjoys simple pleasures, revealing a vulnerability that contrasts with her typically serious persona. Her protective instincts extend to her friends and family, showcasing a deep capacity for love and affection that she initially struggles to express openly. Her development throughout the series involves overcoming her self-loathing and embracing her true self, leading to a greater sense of self-acceptance and confidence.
Abilities
Saki Hanajima possesses the ability to sense and manipulate electromagnetic waves, which she refers to as "electric waves" or "poison waves". This allows her to perceive the thoughts, emotions, and auras of others, essentially acting as a form of telepathy and precognition. She can also project these waves, though she generally avoids doing so aggressively, using them primarily to deter those who bother her friends or to subtly influence situations. In her youth, she struggled to control this power, leading to unintentional harm, but she has since mastered it to a significant degree. Her abilities are not spiritual in nature; she cannot see ghosts, though she can sense the faint residual waves of the deceased. Beyond her electromagnetic abilities, Saki is also exceptionally skilled at card games, consistently winning against others.
