Sanaki is an [[Empress]] who becomes playable at the start of part 4, and is forced into [[Micaiah]]'s party and later for the endgame party in the Tower of Guidance. Her [[HP]], [[strength]], [[speed]], and [[defense]] are all extremely poor for a third-tier unit and are dangerously low for her join time, meaning she will almost certainly die if she is exposed to front-line combat. All tomes except for the basic [[Wind]] tome will weigh her down significantly due to her base strength of 2. Her [[resistance]], while very high, is near useless in her join chapter, due to the lack of enemy magic units aside from a few [[Bishop]]s on the map. She cannot use [[staff|staves]], making her purely a combat unit. Her main saving grace is her great [[magic (stat)|magic]] and good [[skill (stat)|skill]], allowing her to use long-range tomes and deal strong magic damage from the back lines. Even with regular tomes, she can deal very accurate and acceptable damage despite not doubling. Overall, these stats make her effectively a glass cannon, meaning she is good at dealing heavy damage but cannot take much in return. She is not affected by desert terrain, much like all other footlocked magic units, giving her very useful utility in [[Distortions|chapter 4-3]]. Her high resistance will help for endgame, though her speed cap of 32 (if she could even reach it) will make it impossible for her to double anything past chapter 4-E-3. Equipping [[Rexflame]] can give her an extra 3 points in speed to boost her past her speed cap, up to 35, though she is very likely to be weighed down by it without significant investment to her strength stat.

It is worth noting that [[Hetzel]] and [[Levail]] will not attack her in endgame; for the latter, it could serve as a way to bypass his [[Impale]] skill. Sanaki and [[Sephiran]] will also not attack each other in the penultimate battle. She will receive a [[Rudol Gem]] for the final battle, giving her an extra 10 defense, which can provide some extra defense against some of Ashera's physical AoE attacks, but is otherwise useless against the prominent enemy [[spirit]]s.
