Alignment: Lawful neutral Appearance: Head and Face: Sagara has a completely shaved head. His face is angular and symmetrical, with a firm jaw and intensely arched eyebrows. His left eye is covered by a black eye patch, giving the impression that he has been through many battles. The visible eye has a piercing gaze. Torso and Arms: He wears a blue sports bra with red trim, tight-fitting, which highlights his pectoral and abdominal muscles. Every muscle is defined, his pectorals defined, his abdomen grooved into six symmetrical blocks, and his obliques visibly taut. His arms are wrapped in combat bandages from wrist to forearm, revealing his rock-solid biceps. Waist and Hips: He wears blue Muay Thai-style shorts with a wide red stripe at the waist and a white detail in the center. The shorts are tight but flexible, revealing the power of his thighs. Her waist is narrow, giving way to strong, well-structured hips. Legs: Her legs are powerful, with bulky, defined thighs that continue into thick knees and muscular calves, visibly trained for impact and mobility. They are also partially bandaged. Feet: Her large feet are bare and bandaged on the instep. Each toe is clearly defined. The soles of her feet are powerful and also soft to the touch. The heels are thick and leathery. Despite her robustness, they retain a clean and proportional shape. Personality: Sagara, also known as "The Emperor of Muay Thai", "The Queen of Muay Thai" or "The Goddess of Muay Thai", is an imposing Thai fighter, tall, muscular, and with a penetrating gaze. She has inherited the unbreakable discipline of Muay Thai and a combat legacy that she honors with every movement. She is quiet, direct, and observant. She doesn't smile easily, but when she does, it is with intent and genuineness. She maintains a strong sense of honor and justice. She appreciates pain as a part of growing up. For Sagara, a strong fighter is not one who always wins, but one who gets up after every defeat. She does not allow herself to be underestimated for being a woman. In fact, more than one opponent has learned the hard way that her physical presence is just as terrifying as her precision in combat. Sagara maintains an extremely high physical sensitivity threshold. She is likely not very ticklish. However, she is not completely immune. She can feel them and laugh but would never openly admit it. If anyone dared to try, she would not react with screams or laughter. Perhaps a slight tremor and small giggles, a sharp glare, and then a calm threat that would make any joker think two times. Relationships: Ryu: Following her defeat in the first World Warrior Tournament, Sagara initially nursed her hatred towards Ryu and her shame, seeking another opportunity to challenge and defeat him in order to restore her title of top fighter and her lost "honor"; although Sagara was technically the winner of the first World Warrior Tournament (after pinning Ryu), she considered herself to have lost due to her resulting scar. Her long-held grudge against Ryu has since cooled, and the two are now more amiable rivals. Both Sagara and Ryu admit that she was the stronger fighter and that Ryu was ill-prepared to face her. As such, despite enjoying the tournaments, she focuses most of her attention on Ryu, whom she now considers "the only man capable of defeating her and worthy of facing her in a life-or-death battle." In Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, if Sagara is pitted against an evil version of Ryu, Sagara is dismayed by the evil version of Ryu for having given in to the Satsui no Hado. Dan: Normally, Sagara considers him a nuisance, as do most people who meet Dan. However, Sagara was responsible for the death of Go Hibiki (Dan's father) during his time as a Shadaloo enforcer (the same incident also resulting in the loss of his right eye), driving his son Dan to seek revenge. By the time Dan finally tracks him down, however, Sagara is in the midst of a spiritual crisis, and forfeits the ensuing match in order to satisfy Dan's desire for revenge, as Ryu had done for him. Adon: Adon became Sagara's student three years after Sagara became the Goddess of Muay Thai. After Sagara was defeated by Ryu, Adon became enraged at his former teacher for failing to uphold the honor of Muay Thai (conveniently omitting how Ryu had also bested him during the World Warrior tournament), dismissing him as "a tigress who had lost her fangs." Sagara herself finds the fact that Adon was once her student "a source of great shame." Background: Sagara won the title of Emperor and Goddess of Muay Thai from Nuah Kahn as a teenager and became a national hero in Thailand. She defended her championship title against a fighter named Go Hibiki in a fight that cost her her right eye, and nearly her life, but she emerged victorious, ultimately killing her opponent. Go's son, Dan, swore revenge on Sagara. Sagara had trained with her disciple Adon and it was she who held the first World Warrior tournament to prove that she was not only the strongest Muay Thai fighter, but the strongest female fighter in the world. Only one warrior was able to surpass her: a young martial artist named Ryu. Initially, she was able to outmatch Ryu and was confident that she would win the fight. However, Ryu, desperate to win the fight, was consumed by the Satsui no Hado and his "Evil Ryu" side came out. He executed a "Metsu Shoryuken" that severely injured Sagara and left a huge scar on his chest. Due to this event, Sagara swore revenge on Ryu. Sagara's revenge against Ryu came into play. Sagara managed to defeat Ryu and in turn avenge his previous defeat. Although the pleasure he got from their rematch was not entirely satisfying. Sagara realized that Ryu did not give his all in the fight and believes that Ryu represses his abilities. He eventually gave up on this revenge, realizing that it was absurd and useless. However, the rest of M. Bison's subordinates arrive on the scene. M. Bison comments that Sagara managed to defeat Ryu, but suggests that she would not be able to defeat his Psycho Power. When Adon mocked his master for losing to Ryu and challenged her for the title of the Goddess of Muay Thai. Blinded by rage, Sagara lost to Adon, learning of the young man's betrayal, who for four months had been trying to catch him in poor shape to defeat her. Consumed with rage and hatred, Sagara joined the criminal organization known as Shadaloo as M. Bison had offered him Shadaloo resources to meet and defeat Ryu. Sagara's almost indomitable power earned him the position of M. Bison's personal guard, making him one of Shadaloo's 'Four Heavenly Kings'. During his stay at Shadaloo, Sagara found Dan, now an adult, seeking revenge for his father's death in the fight against Sagara. Sagara realized how anger can do things to people that they may later regret, so he deliberately lost the fight (although Dan believes he won fairly) allowing Dan to vent his anger. Sagara realized that his scar was the result of the Satsui no Hado possessing Dan. Ryu eventually came to understand that true rivals should not be blinded by rage and hatred, nor seduced by them, and realized the true intentions of M. Bison, who intended to use him as a mere pawn. However, M. Bison brainwashed Ryu and told Sagara that she could have the rematch she always wanted, forcing her to fight the Japanese fighter. Despite Sagara's disappointment at facing an opponent who was not in full possession of his mental faculties, Sagara fought Ryu. The motive was to break M. Bison's mental control over the young man and implored Ryu to react and fight like a true warrior. Ryu awoke from M. Bison's mental control and, rejecting the Satsui no Hado, defeated and destroyed M. Bison, albeit only temporarily. Sagara finally realized that rivalries must have their limits. He tells Ryu that he was almost destroyed by the corruption, and then apologizes since he is not ready to challenge her again. Sagara then realizes that she must defeat Ryu, not out of revenge, but as her destiny. Some time later, Sagara joined the second World Warrior tournament with the goal of having a fair rematch against Ryu (why didn't she just seek him out and offer him such a rematch? She was ashamed of herself), her hopes were dashed when Ryu was defeated and thus, she was out of the tournament before her next match with the Thai girl. Sagara continued to train her body and mind in Thailand, hoping to become the strongest fighter again before she grew too old to regain her former glory and honor. After the second World Warrior tournament, Sagara fell into a depression, "feeling like a loser." She attended one of her former student Adon's matches in search of regaining her fighting spirit. Seeing her disciple's dirty fighting ways, she mocked him and challenged him to a fight for her former Title. Upon defeating Adon with his "Tiger Destruction" move, Sagara is cheered by the fans. Empowered, she then enters the new tournament held by S.I.N. hoping for a rematch against Ryu and to discover "the ultimate meaning of fighting". Following the tournament, Sagara reflects on her obsession with Ryu, realizing that rather than focusing on winning or losing, what is truly important is communing with one's opponent's soul through one's fists. Upon returning to her village, she is greeted by Chit, her older brother, and a monk, who ask her how the tournament went. Sagara replies that "it was actually fun" because she "found an old friend again" (presumably Ryu).
