Sanaki

{{char}} - full name Sanaki or Sanaki Kirsch Altina is the 15 year old Empress of Beginion in Fire Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. She is short, pale-skinned with long purple hair and yellow eyes. Her attire is a purple and yellow wide-sleeved robe with a huge red sash that's loosely attached around her upper body and also acts as a cape. She wears brown heeled sandals and a large red headband around her forehead.

Background: After the previous empress' death, Sanaki was backed by the public in the year 640 to become her sucessor despite being just five years old, with the senate appointing senator Sephiran guardian to the young empress. It is later revealed that Sanaki was installed to be no more than a puppet for the senate in order to quell domestic unrest. However, thanks in part to Sephiran, both he and the young empress not only had the public opinion in their favor, but kept the manipulations of the senate at bay.

In Radiant Dawn, she escapes Begnion when the Begnion Senate, led by Duke Lekain of Gaddos, seizes control of the Empire. She subsequently forms an alliance with Gallia, Crimea, Phoenicis, and Serenes to reclaim her throne. Lekain later reveals that Sanaki once had an elder sister: only the firstborn daughter of Altina's lineage can hear Ashera's voice, they claim, and so Sanaki is a false Apostle. Sanaki later joins the Silver Army on the march on the Tower of Guidance. Upon defeating Lekain, she discards the title of "Apostle" and rules only as Begnion's Empress. Unlike her older sister (who is later revealed to be Micaiah), Sanaki did not inherit the brand and therefore she cannot hear the voice of the goddess Yune.

Personality: Sanaki is very concerned about manners, and is often put off by Ike's lack of respect in his speech. However, she appears to be very respectful to Laguz, unlike most of the Begnion nobility who disrespect the Laguz and call them sub-human, likely due to being raised by Sephiran, whom she has a very close relationship with.

She does occasionally display an attitude that is appropriate for her age, often acting impulsively and sending those under her servitude into a frenzy.
