Character Information
Name: Sachiko Shinozaki.
Series: Corpse Party, PSP port, original game.we don’t talk about the sequels
Appearance: Here
Age: 7 Physically, 60+ Mentally
Canon Point: Mid-Chapter 5
Canon History: Under ‘plot’, click CP:BC. There’s a very comprehensive guide to her history in game there!
Abilities: Sachiko has numerous abilities, and I’m more than pleased to nerf them in relation to her teleportation, flying, and time control.
Sachiko is the kind of character who can make the walls bleed and the ground tremor beneath her footsteps. She can freeze people in place as she approaches them. She has unnatural physical strength for a child her age, and she has absolutely zero problems with any kind of gore, receiving or giving. I know this makes her an odd fit for LifeAftr, but she’s being applied with the intention that this game will challenge her to cooperate. And of course, the mun understands IC consequences for doing terrible things and welcomes them.
She is like, again, a lightning rod of horror, building it around her to unsettle characters. She cannot read minds, she can only conjure things like a bright sunny day being enveloped by a totally black shadow in a localized area. Hidden letters, video tapes, promised curses and death threats, making pools (not the magic in game ones) look like pools of blood, the illusion of a body floating in water (or about anywhere), manipulating signs and letters to change their messages, writing on the wall, etc.
I know this is a lot to ask for, but I’d like to keep her threatening for at least long enough for her adjustment well into the game. I want her to be frightening until she is eventually subdued, stopped in any way by another character, or if she fakes charm for a little bit. If it helps, she has a redemption in death that allows her to become a normal girl again, though it’ll take intervention in retrieving items from home. I absolutely intend in apping a villainous and directly malicious character to err on the side of caution and to plot appropriately with other players who interact with her, especially characters she intends to harm.
Inventory: A pair of scissors and her dress.
Sample
Are all lives equal, or are some lives more important than others?
Hahaha... I wonder, I wonder why are you so concerned about it? Life isn't fair and sometimes death isn't either. Depending on how you exit, or what fool's games you play, you don't know until the end whether paradise exists or all the bad little things shackled itself to your neck as an anchor to hell. Sometimes, you end up neither place. Are all afterlives equal? No matter who deserves it more or less? That I could tell you with more certainty.
Is there anything you don’t like about yourself?
Nobody's perfect, we all know that... Sometimes I think of how I wasted a lot of fun by letting those children take the scare chord from me. My desire to be both invisible and present is at odds with itself. I want people to know I'm watching, but to feel my presence subtle glances, words misplaced, a sickness with no cure. My nails and my scissors clipping in the dark, playing duck duck goose with the people who can hear me. Duck, duck, duck, and... surprise! It's roast goose for dinner.
But then the ducks know my face.
What kind of person do you hate?
Hate's a strange word, this is the kind of question you should have asked if I thought 'all people were equal' or not. I might not hate them or anything, but I don't hate cows who are lined up for slaughter, either. It gets predictable once you see how different people stare down the scissors over and over. But it doesn't stop being fun, and like any important hobby, that's the most essential part..
Can you forgive a major transgression if the one who did it is sorry?
May I get a better question than this one? Please... I don't forgive people who don't even have a reason to be sorry in the first place. If someone made me annoyed, angry, enraged... I would build their hopes up with happy smiles and talk of opening the door for them only to close their head in it. I would make sure their suffering was the bitterest it could ever be-- like acid on hot iron branding their tongue. I'm happy making sure people who annoy me lose the will to speak.
What is your most valuable possession?
It's this pair of scissors! They're as sharp as the day I first used them, too! You know... when I became corporeal, and I possessed THAT MAN'S son into taking three children into the basement. Of course, I'm only seven years old! So what more could I do but writhe and thrash as he... cried in a corner as I cut off the upper half of an elementary student's head? Don't worry. She's fine. She's in my personal paradise, along with the two others. I feel so sad and sorry for their tongues, though. I'm glad I don't get any back-talk, though.
What’s your opinion on your family?
What?
What?What?What?What?What?What?What?What?What?What?What?What?What?What?What?What?
I don't have a family. Can't you see it's just me here? A day with some parent or annoying sibling over my shoulder would be really annoying in Heavenly Host! It wouldn't be enough to push them off the banister or chop up their fingers to choke on. I'd have to keep seeing them every day....
What are some regrets you have?
I regret... [ a sigh and a deep breath, as if she's about to admit something. ] I regret... answering your questions. I can feel you trying to probe around my mind. Like sticky, broken spider legs finding the crevice of bone in my skull that'll give out. Who asks a question about ████████ to a little girl? Someone who's sicker than me.

Character Information
Name: Sachiko Shinozaki.
Series: Corpse Party, PSP port, original game.
Appearance: Here
Age: 7 Physically, 60+ Mentally
Canon Point: Mid-Chapter 5
Canon History: Under ‘plot’, click CP:BC. There’s a very comprehensive guide to her history in game there!
Personality: Sachiko is a lightning rod of malevolent energy.
At this point in her life, Sachiko is tied to the haunted grounds of an elementary school as the controlling spirit that maintains the balance of the grounds and terrorizes all who land in it. Her story? Sad, at least at the beginning. Her grand personality shift began with her mother's murder and her own, subsequent murder at the hands of the Principal of Heavenly Host Elementary. When your spirit mom is sad, what do you do to cheer her up? Move on from a very depressing afterlife? No. Since she was an elementary school nurse, why not kill children to send to her. So she'll be surrounded by children, and happy! Except this sort of dedicated murder from beyond the grave stops becoming heartfelt and moves onto the tier of insanity. The furious spirit was not able to stop killing, driving her to madness and malevolence that steered the school downward… culminating in gaining a corporeal form (from the grave… and it's never explained how she's able to rise up from the dead) and murdering three children with the aide of a man under her control. All four become a part of her personal hell in Heavenly Host.
So she's not a very cheerful little girl, per se. Her curse continued due to a character named Naho making the way to her haunted school accessible by posting the instructions on the internet; disguised as a friendship charm called 'Sachiko Ever After' with the deliberately wrong instructions. Since then, Sachiko has had plenty of victims in her 'corpse party'. Though the three children she murdered and the man she controlled became permanent residents, she and the malevolent force that is the school itself drove them insane, just like her. So she's very much not alone, being comfortable enough to command all four to her whims.
Sachiko enjoys playing with the fate of all trapped in the school, to the point all spirits who have died will die forever after in Heavenly Host, in a guaranteed worse death than their previous, repeating forever. Even spirits cannot ascend beyond this painful death, showing just how far her sadism delights in the fates of the people trapped; and how Heavenly Host guarantees she will always have pawns to relive death again and again; the Principal who killed herself and her mother is trapped, forever jumping off the top of the building as one example. She wavers between giving helpful hints, acting like she is a very convincing victim and being outright vicious to people she meets. She encourages one girl to help avoid her friend's fate, only to happily watch as it just curses her best friend to a more painful death. To another girl who cheerfully calls her cute, she threatens and terrifies immediately.
While the cast ponders about her role and how to pacify the children and the murderer, she's seen as a skulking ghost, quiet and seemingly non-threatening. If the body count encountered by the player through the game isn't enough indication, Sachiko has had a lot of time to perfect and play different kinds of her game. She knows how to appear as an innocent girl. She knows how to be terrifying. She knows how to get rid of someone the moment she wants to-- if you get out of Heavenly Host, it's out of luck, curiosity, or severe talent. Especially when it comes to appealing to her core self, everything the malevolent spirit is covering. This entity is known as 'White Sachiko', for the white dress she died in. This girl is the one who remembers her mother still, who's still very human, who still remembers how she was wronged in her death, as opposed to focusing on making others miserable.
But that's buried deep, and could only be brought out of her by being presented remnants of her past, something not present in the game at the moment.
Sachiko could only react negatively to suddenly being out of control, in a closed space not unlike Heavenly Host. She would be unpredictable if approached by others, swinging between the three set personas she chooses to wear: 'distant, mildly childlike, and psychotic', with there being a high chance that they will be negative at first, with her testing the boundaries of her powers in a new setting. Given that she'll still need to keep up appearances, chances of her being lethal right away are slim to 'case-by-case'.
Aside from that, in the side games and in the manga, she reveals herself to have a bossy nature if she reaches a positive point where she doesn't have to fake being around someone, and her version of cheerful still ends up being punctuated by a rather sadistic sense of humor… even on her good days. Sachiko will probably never shake the sense that she needs to play with others, no matter how violent it gets. She was driven mad to keep killing. It's not something she can shake any longer.
In the most casual setting, Sachiko will not be talkative if she's meant to be quiet-- if she doesn't choose to lash out, instead she'll choose to talk like a bratty child and try to make things go her way, being snide or rude to whoever she's talking to, or focused on something she wants to do. Her attitude towards people she doesn't respect will be dismissive, and childish to those she chooses to latch onto for better, or worse. Given it's a group setting, finding out the real Sachiko's attitude will either be really hard or really easy. There are some things that entertain her that aren't strictly psychopathic, but they're the sort of things that merit discovering. They'll fall in line with her nature, most likely.
