Sada Shuiro

"I have to escape from here... There has to be a way!"

- Sada Shuiro, Chapter 1

Sada Shuiro (朱色定), often referred to as "Vermilion" (バーミリオン) is the main protagonist of Ellipsis.

A simple high-school student in her previous life, she finds herself trapped within Olam Tzalmavet. She now fights to win the Rings of Rebirth so that she can atone for the sins of her past. Sada is the 23rd Reprobate, assigned to Second Division.

Appearance
Sada appears as a girl in her late teens with a slight muscular build, unruly orange hair down to her back and piercing purple eyes. After being reborn in the land of Olam Tzalmavet, she has a Brand of the Reprobate etched into the left side of her neck. Her Horn of Sin is located on the right side of her forehead. After the battles she encounters throughout the Rings of Rebirth, her stomach, arms and legs are adorned with various scars.

She is dressed in the tattered remains of a blood-soaked kimono bound with a dark blue obi, leaving her chest and stomach exposed. Her chest is bound with bandages and she wears a simple cloth fundoshi as well. Along Sada's waist is a leather belt with intricate gold detailing and pouches which she uses to hold belongings and a weapon, should she have one. Sada also wears simple sandals fashioned from scraps of Fiend hide and string.

Personality
Sada is haughty, arrogant and snarky with strong sense of self-preservation. In contrast to her ally Chizuko Natsukawa who always tries to think of others, Sada is primarily concerned with her own interests and seeking revenge against those who wronged her. She is cold toward human life, quickly adopting the survivalist mentality and is quick to abandon those she feels are dead weight or no longer of any use.

She is shown to be intelligent; being able to deduce problems and navigate through situations in her mind at a rapid pace. Rather than befriending multiple people like some do, she chooses a select few of those she feels she can truly depend on and sticks with them. She is also rebellious and often acts indifferent to those who are above her in rank or status; displaying the attitude of a delinquent at times. In private, Sada is shown to possess a vulgar sense of humor.

It is hinted that much of her personality derives from her past life experiences which the Cindered Waif is aware of. The Waif often tries to tempt Sada into indulging her negative traits and even the violent tendencies buried deep within her psyche.

History
Like the other Reprobates, she committed a sin in her past life that warranted her rebirth at Olam Tzalmavet and subsequent participation in the Rings of Rebirth.
