Taio Sachiko/Hooks

• Japan - Sachiko was born and raised in Japan, spending much of her life in Kyoto at a girl's school there. Until very recently, a weekend in Tokyo was the definition of exciting travel. Now, Sachiko and her band are in the United States! In Philadelphia! It's all very exciting.

• Music / Heliopause - Sachiko is the backup singer and bassist for the Japanese all girl metal quintet, Heliopause. If you're a fan of metal from overseas, you've probably heard their stuff.

• Silver Ladder - Sachiko is an adherent of the path of Amaterasu, which is to say she is a silver ladder. She seems much more out of place here in the US as a Silver Ladder member than she did back home in Kyoto, and we'll leave it at that.

• Mathematics - Sachiko will listen to you talk about higher maths for hours, especially if you're particularly intelligent. Can you help her with her calculus?

• College Student - Sachiko is trying to balance the cause of galactic liberty with her study load, which has only gotten more difficult since she's having to become a student abroad and try and complete something *like* a degree here in the US before completing her studies back in Japan.

• The Spirit of Jupiter - Sachiko was chosen to be the spirit of Saturn, one in a long line of elite warriors selected to safeguard the Astral Realms and the dreams of humanity from the ravages of the Abyss and the predations of the enemies of Amaterasu. With the power of understanding, they stand united against the darkness; five girls, one mission.
