Saki Hanajima - Role in the story

When Saki was younger, the first discoveries of her power frightened her. A boy, one of her classmates, taunted her, called her a witch, and forced her to devour a live newt. In outrage, Saki struck out at the boy, nearly killing him. Realizing what she could do with her power, she became wary. She knew that she had a great ability, with the power to harm people. From then on, she decided to remind herself of how dangerous she was. She began ignoring people and dressing in a gothic manner, not to frighten others for vanity, but to scare them away, and to remind herself of her threat.

Megumi, not wanting his sister to be the only "weird one" in the family, studied the art of curses until he finally mastered it. He joined Saki in her predicament so that she would not be alone in her sufferings.

Arisa and Saki vowed upon the grave of Tohru's mother Kyoko Honda that they would always be there to protect Tohru. Therefore, Hana always stands up for Tohru, and Arisa and Saki were the first to 'inspect' Shigure Sohma's home when Tohru began living there to make sure she was comfortable and well-cared for.
