◎ Clothing
⊱
⊱⊱⊱⊱ A basic Pokemon Trainer outfit. In her younger days, Sai wore something very similar to this. A belt with additional Pokeballs (not pictured) completes the outfit. The main colors here are purple and black.
⊱
⊱⊱⊱⊱ The older and more mature Sai gets, the more she opts to go for the "casual Trainer" look. A belt should be worn at a slant, with the additional Pokeballs attached to it. At this point, glasses are optional, as she sometimes wears contacts.
⊱
⊱⊱⊱⊱ An example of Sai's winter attire. The main colors here are white and a light purple. Pokeballs are either kept in her sash, or on the silver belt she wears with her pants (not shown). Glasses are, again, optional.
◎ Personality
⊱ An experienced trainer, Sai prefers to approaching any situation in her own time. She doesn’t like rushing head-first into anything, while she also knows when to get moving. She has boundless patience - a result of her working with her Pokemon for years. And it helps that she chose to work exclusively with Dragon Pokemon - a type that, on average, takes a long time to raise and train.
Elegant, yet down-to-earth, Sai isn’t very impressionable. She’s a careful listener, but prefers to learn as much about a topic or person before forming an opinion about them. And even then her opinions aren’t set in stone. She’s flexible and willing to admit she’s wrong when she is. She’s not the type of person with anything to hide. However, because of that, she comes off as a person a bit on the blunt and harsh side. She tends to have a guarded attitude when it comes to interacting with people who she’s just met, and consciously makes an effort to not come out as someone who “wears their heart on their sleeve.” She does have a caring side, but she refuses to let it show so much lest she fears it will blind her to certain situations. Because of that, one must earn her trust for her to be really comfortable around them.
At times, she can be terribly indecisive. So much so, that she will literally stand there and debate on the pros and cons of each option open to her. However, the one thing she almost never has to think about is Pokemon battles. While she doesn’t thrive off of them, she can’t seem to turn any challenges down.

◎ Relationships
⊱ Seishin "Shin" Denka
⊱⊱⊱⊱ Shin is Sai's younger brother.
⊱ Vernados "Vern" Addei
⊱⊱⊱⊱ She met Vern while traveling around when she was younger. Her first impression of him was one of dislike, as she didn't appreciate his attitude. However, she set this concept of him aside as she got to know him better. Now older and having known him for a few years, Sai comes to see Vern as a very important friend. At first, she has no intentions of being romantically involved with him. Most of the advances made by him go unnoticed because of Sai's view of him as a friend. Other times she thinks she sees what he's getting at but refuses to accept it - usually ending with Sai getting embarrassed and leaving. Other than that, the two get along well and Vern is often Sai's first choice as a partner when double battles are concerned. She does have some inkling of romantic feelings for Vern hidden away, but she doesn't want to act on them for fear of jeopardizing the relationship they already have - ironic really.
