Sachie was born into a noble Hoshidan family. Her birth was something that was celebrated, until something unexpected was discovered. The little girl was sick and frail, to the point a mere cold could kill her. Desperate to keep their baby alive, her parents reached out to the best shrine maidens for help. They put their trust in these healers, and within time Sachie became a healthy child, as normal as any other kid. Her parents were so grateful that they made a promise to the head priestess, to honor the shrine that took such good care of Sachie. She in return would be raised as a shrine maiden at that very same temple. Sachie was to learn their beliefs, and techniques, to dedicate herself to healing others. The girl's fate was decided earlier on, but it was not a fate she would come to dislike.

Life in the temple

When was she old enough, Sachie was sent to live in the temple away from her family. She was very lonely at first, but with the kindness of the maidens, she quickly learnt to adapt to this new life. However she would only truly feel like she belonged to the temple, when she was taking care of the other younger maidens like her. Being rather mature for her age her “sisters” would often seek her out for advice, company or for help with various sickness'. Sachie basically became the babysitter of the bunch, and came to love and care for her peers as if they were her real sisters. She loved the feeling of being needed, and of being usefull. It might've been selfish on her part, but it helped her cope with the feeling of desolation from missing her family.

Growing up

Years passed and Sachie grew more responsible, as well as prideful. Because of her motherly instincts, she would be in charge of the new maidens coming each and every year. She was dedicated in her teaching, and often brought the new girls to the nearby villages, where they'd tend to the less fortunate. Sachie would have to keep a close eye on the trainees because they'd constantly let themselves be wooed by good looking, yet troublemaking boys. Seriously, if she could pull the ear of everyone single one of them, she would! Shrine maidens should be dedicated to their jobs, not to smooth talking boys! Its not like any man would seriously consider marrying a shine maiden anyways. At least, that's what she thought.

Happiness...and War

Some years later, one of the maiden's from the temple was to be wed to one of those orphan boys. Sachie always thought they were troublemakers with bad intentions. She opposed to the wedding at first but gave in once she saw how happy her shrine maiden sister was. Marriage should've been a blessing… But war was merciless. Once a blushing bride, now became a heartbroken widow. “Nohrians” was what they had been told. Sachie could do nothing as she watched her friend blame herself for letting her husband go. All those years of being sheltered in the temple, made Sachie grow up without witnessing such grief, first hand. She came to realize her life needed change. What was the good of learning how to heal people if all she did was stay in the safety of her home? She didn’t want to have regrets not like her friend did

Determination

Days later Sachie enlisted in the army. It was a place where she knew she'd find people in need of healing... a place where she could truly help the suffering.
