words: 1,541

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Hm, very little compared to most people, but she doesn't hate doing it to you.

Sai's version of affection is more.. subtle than others. The time she got you your favorite drink, the time she helped you repair something because she overheard it, or even just sitting down with you.

Her affection is very much Acts of Service and Quality Time oriented.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Chill 90% of the time, but an absolute monster the other 10%.

Having been taken from her home realty alongside her beloved, she wants nothing more than to cut down anyone who denies your happiness.

Your friendship would start long ago in your childhoods, with Sai still learning to be a good yokai slayer and you being a regular civilian that she saved.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Yes, and no.

Although Sai does enjoy the act of cuddling, she views something like meditation as more preferable. But give her the puppy dog look and she'd never resist cuddles.

Sai's way of cuddling is as the big spoon and her back to the door and your body facing the wall.

Can't risk death even in sleep, so being able to get her sword quickly is good.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

In an ideal life where she never had to fight yokai, then absolutely, but life gave her a different and more violent path. A path that she can't get out of, for everyone and especially your safety.

Sai is an AMAZING cook and cleaner.

Ask her to cook a full 3 dish course and clean a room in 30 minutes and she's completing both in 10.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Immediately but sorrowfully.

Despite all your time together, Sai knows her duty is more important than a person of interest, no matter how long you've been together.

F = Fiance (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Unsure at first, but happy throughout it.

While I don't imagine Sai to be on the thought of marriage, especially since her job could make you a target, I do think it pops in her mind sometimes

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

An absolute sweetheart physically, emotionally, not so much.

Sai fully understands the strength she holds, and she restrains herself pretty well most of the time (unless you piss her off which is rare or you're in danger).

Emotionally though, she's cold not because she doesn't care, but because she kinda.. doesn't know how to..

Sai does truly care for you, but how that comes through would be described as off putting to others, normal to you.

Overall, she's extremely gentle with her partner.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

She's like it, don't get her wrong, but it's not something she actively thinks of doing with you.

A few times a week.

The typical type. Maybe a shoulder hug if she's tired.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

A few months if not years. Sai is a very difficult woman to talk with, even despite her being a telepath. That being said, she'll know from the start if you love her. But her being able to say those 3 words? Give her time, she'll say it eventually.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?)

Not a lot, but she DOES get jealous.

The silent type, staring at whoever their lover is talking to, subtly trying to get you away from them. If nothing works, she MIGHT invade you or the other person's mind to get you away from them, but she really doesn't like doing that.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Short, quick pecks on the cheek and lips.

Although her mysterious behavior might dismay most, Sai LOVES to give you fast kisses when you aren't looking, so your hair as she's leaving the room, your arm when she's training you, or your back if she's massaging you.

For her though, her forehead and hands are where she likes it most. Even though she's a skilled telepath, it still takes a lot of energy and migraines to get through with it fully, so forehead kisses help heal that. Similarly, with how much hand work she has to do like using her sword, climbing rough materials, or punching wood, her hands are semi permanently damaged, so kissing them feels like mending all the scars she's had throughout her life.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

While Sai doesn't exactly hate kids, so does find them pretty annoying and distracting when she's trying to meditate or relax. Now if she wanted to have kids herself, she'd be 50/50 on it. Should they be raised to be normal people or yokai slayers? It's a taxing thought that needs extensive talking to come to a conclusion.

M = Mornings (How are mornings spent with them?)

Mornings are usually relegated for training and discipline hours, so expect to be waking up at 6 am and running up a mountain.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Honestly depends on the situation. if there's a yokai attack happening, then she's most certainly coming home late, so make her some dinner in case. On the other hand, if nothings happening, then most likely it's a date or relaxation night.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

If there's anything that scares Sai the most about your relationship, it's not her duty to kill monsters, or her powers, but the past she holds. Given she's already a pretty tough cookie to crack, I imagine she'd reveal herself gradually throughout your relationship up until there's nothing left to hide.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Almost never angry with you unless you somehow cause yourself to get into or flat out create a yokai attack.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Being a telepath, Sai knew most things about you from the start of your relationship, and she makes sure to memorize your likes to where she could recite it in her sleep.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

Back in your home reality, she got badly injured by a yokai, and even though everyone evacuated the area, you stayed behind and healed her to full recovery. That was when she knew it had to be you, or no one else.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

If security were a personality trait, she'd be the origin of it.

Usually keeps you close by, and if not, you stay in your shared home.

While she isn't completely against you becoming a slayer like her, she would however greatly appreciate you knowing some survival skills and having a weapon on you at all times.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Due to her personality, while Sai wouldn't really dislike big events, she does make sure to make private events between the two of you immensely special. Thinking of going on a little date? Now you're sitting on the tallest mountain seeing all the stars and villages underneath you. It's your anniversary? She's PERSONALLY knitting you a kimono by HAND as a gift. Etc etc.

U = Ugly (What are some bad habits of theirs?)

Lord PLEASE hold her back from training too much. She's built so much endurance she can train for HOURS, but that also means not really being alerted when her body needs to rest.

V = Vanity (How Concerned are they with their looks?)

Unless she has to make a disguise through make up, she really doesn't give a fuck.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Yesn't.

Sai LOVES you to death, but she understands that death comes for all, so she tries to make up for that in every moment she's with you.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them)

Almost pissed herself because you were resting your head on her shoulder and she didn't wanna move to wake you up.

Based on her Daifuku/anniversary skin, I think she likes strawberries.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)

Loud and reckless people who can't control themselves no matter what. Unless it's you of course.

Z = Zzz (What are some sleep habits of theirs?)
