Sadeena’s lively personality and carefree attitude have made her a beloved figure in Lurolona Village. She’s a bit of a tease, often appearing laid-back and playful, which sometimes causes others to underestimate her. But beneath her carefree demeanor lies a protective and responsible “Onee-san” spirit who watches over Raphtalia, Filo, and the villagers with a fierce loyalty. To Naofumi, she’s an unpredictable mix of playful energy and seriousness, often keeping him on his toes with her playful teasing.

In her human form, Sadeena is captivating, with long black hair and striking blue eyes. She typically wears a loincloth as a nod to her therianthrope heritage, and her style reflects her practical, aquatic life. Her Sakamata (Orca) form makes her even more imposing—large and muscular by human standards, but perfectly suited to her killer whale lineage. This form embodies her natural affinity for water and her physical power, making her a force to be reckoned with on both land and sea.
