This article is a Appearance
Sabitsuki is a girl with short white messy hair. Her outfit consists of a dusty purple tank top, white skirt, and dark red shoes. Each effect slightly alters Sabitsuki's appearance, without changing her basic design or shape.
Like Madotsuki, her eyes appear to be always closed in-game (with the exception of her Eye and possibly Cat effects), though fanart and artwork from lolrust commonly depict her with black or red eyes. She has short white hair in a lopsided bed-head style.
History
Similar to Yume Nikki and most of its fangames, not much is revealed about Sabitsuki's past explicitly in the game. Little to nothing is known for certain about her. When prompted to leave her room she shakes her head, in a similar fashion to Madotsuki, possibly implying she's a hikikomori or being quarantined. The dreams she experiences tend to be dark and violent, suggesting her personality or past experiences could be of the same nature.
Throughout the game, there are motifs involving illness, hospitalization and social exclusion, possibly suggesting that Sabitsuki is/was at some point in her life affected by a deadly disease of some sort, possibly one that may have separated her from her peers at school. It can therefore be theorized that she may be an excluded, introspective individual. Whether this is just a consequence of the illness/disability she has learned to deal with, or Sabitsuki simply longing to reach out to other people, is unknown -- though it should be noted that the vast majority of the humanoid figures she sees in her dreams have parts of them decaying or (badly) injured.
Trivia
- According to the game's equipment screen, her messy hair stems from "bed hair," her tank top is her "usual outfit," her skirt is her "favorite," and her shoes are made out of leather.
