Character Info: Name: Sanaki Kirsch Altina Age: 10 Canon: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance Pull Point: Shortly after Path of Radiance
Background Info: History: Twenty years before the start of Path of Radiance, the apostle of Begnion was assassinated. A rumor circulated that the heron laguz of Serenes were to blame, and although the herons were in fact a peace-loving species, the people of Begnion mobbed and wiped out the herons completely.
Flash forward twenty years later. The ten-year old Sanaki is empress and apostle when another country, Daein, invades another country, Crimea, and the princess of Crimea comes to Begnion seeking aid. Before Sanaki will lend her Begnion's support, she has her mercenaries complete a number of minor tasks for her. It's revealed that she's working against the corrupt senate - she cannot oppose them openly, being a ten-year-old girl, but she can subvert their wishes.
When two survivors of the massacre are found, Sanaki gets on her knees and apologizes profusely for what her people did. The survivors forgive her for her guilt, and the wounds between the species begin to heal. Sanaki lends Begnion's troops to Crimea's effort, and the Crimean princess goes on to take back her country. This is the canon point Sanaki comes from.
Personality: Sanaki is better than you. Yes, she is. She's the empress and apostle of the largest country on the face of Tellius. You owe her your respect. Sanaki is very used to getting her way and being paid deference. When she doesn't, she tends to behave like a bit of a brat. She comes across as disdainful in many situations, if not demanding.
However, that's not the only side of Sanaki. She is perfectly willing to go down on her knees and beg for forgiveness for her country. She really does want peace and justice in the world, especially for her home of Begnion. She's aware of the maneuvering of the mostly corrupt senate and is cunning enough to work against them when they step out of line. And when it matters most, in times of war she is willing to work with other rulers as much as she can to end the fighting, ignoring her usual pride.
Sanaki goes through some doubts in Radiant Dawn (the sequel to Path of Radiance) about the legitimacy of her claim to the throne. It's a marked contrast from her usual confidence, and it lasts some time before she comes to realize that her people support her completely, giving her the right to be a just ruler.
Game Specific: Arcana: Emperor Justification:Authority: Sanaki is both empress and apostle, and represents the largest country in the world with full power over it (theoretically). Insulting her is a crime, and no single figure has more authority. Leadership: Sanaki can rally her people behind her. She's well aware of the responsibilities of her position, and devotes her efforts to the important causes of ending strife between the races and helping the common people. Manipulation of power: Due to her youth, she cannot work against the senate as openly as she would like, and must be more cunning about her choices and methods. Loss of authority: She is deposed as empress and denounced as apostle in the sequel and must reclaim her position from the senate. Indecision: Certain powers normally granted to the apostle are missing from her. She goes through a period of wondering whether she is truly meant to be the apostle, and eventually decides to rule only as the empress, to which she has full right.
Samples: First Person Sample: What fool thinks they can kidnap the apostle and get away with it?! Do you know how many people will have your head for this? I don't know how you got past the Holy Guard, but you've put the entire country of Begnion into a state of high alarm where all of the army, all of the resources, and all of the intelligence gathering will be dedicated to finding me again!
I would not wish my worst enemy to be in your state after I'm found. Third Person Sample: Sanaki had tried to pick up weapons before, but really, magic was much more suited to her talents. She was well-capable of defending herself with a fire tome, as well as thunder and wind and light. She didn't need to try to increase her strength enough to handle a sword or lance.
...Except that none of those worked here. Without any of her guards to protect her, she was going to have to learn how to pick up a heavy or sharp object and hit things with it. It was crude, and it wasn't going to go easily at all, but it was preferable to dying.
Hm. She was going to need a teacher for this, wasn't she. One that would respect her station, of course.
