Graceful Badass

*I got permission from the original artist here on Deviantart who drew this beautiful picture a to give you a better idea as to what the character looked like in the Gargoyles community fanfiction series, The Gargoyles Saga. This picture belongs to she has done a terrific job on this lovely picture and many others as well. If you would like to see more I HIGHLY recommend that you check out her page and to also ask for permission if you want to use her picture(s) in any way before doing it.* 


To follow you up with another motivational screenshot to "TimeDancers" Timedancer Adventures I think it is now the appropriate time to introduce you all to Sata.

" One of the figures was a beautiful female gargoyle with hair as dark as midnight and skin like cool jade. Her almond-shaped eyes could either melt a heart or pierce it. She wore a modified dark red kimono embroidered with chrysanthemums over an ivory tunic, the flowing sleeves bound up from wrist to forearm for efficient swordplay with a wicked-looking katana blade gripped in her hand.  - Out of Joint, Part 2 "

The female gargoyle originally from 16th century, Feudal Japan of the fictional town of Ishimura, Japan she who would join Brooklyn (unwillingly at first) on his journey and later on becomes his mate and also the mother to their twins.

Sata makes her appearance in the TGS: TimeDancer Saga in chapter 14 called "Dishonor" (Story Concept by Brian Dumlao and Written by Laurean Broadbent and Christi Smith Hayden) when the Phoenix Gate sends Brooklyn to Feudal Japan and there he meets Sata and her clan. She knocks him out taking him as a spy sent from a rebel rouge gargoyle clan but later on after they get that little matter cleared up and during a battle that is taking place between Sata's clan and the rouge one the Phoniex Gate reappears in the midst of it and Sata ends up unwillingly joining Brooklyn in his travels when the Phoenix Gate engulfs them both sending Brookly and Sata on many journeys through out time, which during the course of their travels Sata and Brooklyn fall in love with each other and eventually becomes mates.

I would prefer not to go into too many details as to what happens because in case you are interested in reading the TimeDancer Saga tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/td/ I would not want to give too much away in spoilers. 

Sata was the second-in-command of her clan before joining Brooklyn and was devoted her to clan and in the ways of the sword.  Having a strong sense of responsibility along with a brave heart, Sata had a very graceful demeanor but don't let her beauty fool you as she is very skilled with a sword and can take down any opponent in one swift of her mighty swordsmanship. She was known throughout her clan as Ishimura's fiercest warrior, being independent and tough by nature, she did not like others helping her. Sata relied on her advanced fighting skills, never letting an enemy escape once she had her sights on it. She fought aggressively and confronted every enemy bravely. But despite her hard cold exterior at times underneath it all is a female who is deeply passionate and extremely loyal and loving to those she cares about. She holds a great sense of honor to the ways of her people and to the Japanese culture. She is also very stubborn and does have a nasty temper when she is angry or very passionate about something and is not afraid to consider breaking some ways of tradition especially if it involves traitors to her clan.

I will honestly say that at first I was not a big fan of Sata back then but over time she has really come to grow on me and I  found her to be an extrodinary character indeed. Sata serves as the perfect example of being a beautiful women of elegance and following the ways of her people and culture but can also step up to the plate and kick some serious ass when needed to. Especially in the ancient times of Japan when a woman was not really entitled to do any sort of battling with a few exceptions like Tomoe Gozen or even some women who were the wives of Samurais but mostly handled a Naginata instead of a Katana.

Throughout TimeDancer and the other TGS stories Sata has developed well and really come into her own as a character who was handed an unsual and unique fate and path to follow travelling through time with her mate Brooklyn and later on their kids, visiting multiple cultures, different historical events as well as learning many new and various things along the way to make her into a stronger character.  

Despite the fact that she only exists in the TGS community I have to say that I prefer her over Brooklyn's "canonical" mate Katana. (That is a motivational screenshot for another time ).

Sata is indeed an inspiration for other females in the TGS/TimeDancer universe and would be an excellent role model and mentor for them as well.
