Sati Saigan

Lady Sati is a fictional character in the manga series of the Shaman King. She is the leader of the Gandhara group, one of the three great powers in the Shaman Fights.

Appearance
Sati has red brown long hair and typically wears an orange dress, probably like Daiei does, as do Buddhist monks. She also wears a crown(she is apparently a princess and high ranking Monkess in the Gandhara order) with a long weil and holds a staff, as carrying medium for her spirit Dainichi Nyorai.

When beeing casual she wears nothing but a casual two parted white dress.

Personality
As normally attributed to Buddhist monks serenity, inner peace, and meditation should be part of their daily life. So, she is be no different, as she is serene, peaceful and seems to be very calm. She heavily believes in a non violent approach. She is also verry polite, adressing "Wooden Sword" Ryu by Ryunosuke (his real name beeing Umemiya Ryunosuke) something no ever does.

Abillities and Powers
With her very high Furyoku level (1,250,000), Dainichi Nyorai and healing capabilities, she is able to bring people back from the dead. She can also send people to the netherworld. Dainichi Nyorai and all other Buddhic spirits have furyoku-nullification abilities, enabling the hosting shamans to win battles without (or with minimal) violence.

Spirit

 * See More: Dainichi

All of Gandhara's spirits are Buddhas representing Tathagata, Myo-o, Bosatsu and Ten. Lady Sati holds Dainichi Nyorai in her staff (as carrying medium).

Shaman Fights Second Round
Tathagata Nyorai succeeded the first round after crushing Thaiti-800 in the first round. Team "Myooh" lost to Team "The Ren" and there was no mention of Team "Ten"; just that all teams including "Nyorai" withdrew after "Myooh"'s defeat. That move made Gandhara's real intentions more clear.

Training The Five Elemental Warriors
Lady Sati instructs Cado, Yainage and Jackson to prepare the future shamans to be prepared to become the 5 Elemental warriors. Thus, she sends Team "Myooh" to meet Team "The Ren" in the Bathrooms in order to send them to the Netherworld. There, they will learn to bring their Furyoku to spectacular levels.

She herself went to Asakura Yoh and killed him. With a chant she then send him and Amidamaru to hell.

Retrieving The Five Grand Elemental Spirits
While the Five Elemental Warriors fight there way through the Patches and the continent of Mu it becomes the task of the Gandhara to retrieve the Five Grand Elemental Spirits. It is Lady Sati who amongst four of them travels to one of the four hells and fights Enma Daioh, the greatest of the four Kings of Hell and the Guardian of the Spirit of Earth.

Anime/Manga Difference
Although she does not officialy appear in the anime, a girl sitting on an elephant ressembling Sati was seen watching the fight between Tao Ren and Asakura Yoh.

Also, during the second round in the Anime, Lady Sati seems to be represented as a young girl of 10 years of age. But, another shaman, by the name of Gekkou also resembles Lady Sati, in a much more mature form. This seems to be more true to her portrait in the Manga. She wears a Kimono and is accompanied by two other shamans, Fudou, a young red haired boy, and Nikkou, an old man. (in the Anime, in Episode 54, Mohamed Tabarsi and Hang Zang-Ching kills single-handedly both Gekkou and Nikkou, and Asakura Hao takes the upper hand by easily killing an enraged Fudou with the help of The Spirit of Fire)
