Tenma Saki (
Background
Saki's mother is a piano teacher and her father is the executive of a company.[2]
Saki was born with a weak body. Because of this, she was hospitalized throughout middle school. Her older brother, Tsukasa, took care of her during that time. At the beginning of the main story, she has become healthy enough to return to school. Saki is determined to enjoy her youth and experience all the things she couldn't while she was in the hospital. Due to this passion, she sometimes overworks herself and falls sick. Saki and Tsukasa's mother is a piano teacher.
Saki was childhood friends with Ichika, Honami and Shiho. However, she lost contact with them during middle school, since the hospital was too far away to visit. When she returns for her first year of high school, she is surprised to see that their old friend group has drifted apart. She becomes determined to bring the group back together and play music with them once more. With the help of Ichika, Miku, and Luka in the School SEKAI, Leo/need is finally reunited.
In her first year, Saki was classmates with Ichika and Haruka in class 1-C. In her second year, she is classmates with Shiho and Emu in class 2-B. Saki was also a member of the Sports Festival Executive Committee, alongside Haruka and Emu.
Appearance
Saki has pink eyes and long blonde hair with pink-colored tips worn in large, fluffy twin tails. Her voice is bright and lyrical.
Casual Outfit
In her first year, her casual outfit consists of a white loose blouse covered with a cream pink sweater with a thin pink ribbon, light blue denim shorts and black shoes with pink knee-socks.
In her second year, she wears a very light orange blouse with bows on both sides over a small dress with puffed sleeves. Her shorts are grey with a madras pattern, along with black sneakers and white socks.
Unit Outfit
Her unit outfit consists of a white blouse with a red striped tie and a yellow coat, a black cloth bracelet, a black skirt with yellow lining and a black leather belt with yellow lining, black thigh-high socks and black heeled mary-janes with a gold star in the middle.
Her second unit outfit heavily resembles a school uniform, having a collared, buttoned up white shirt under a grey, yellow and black unbuttoned lapel. Just under her collars is a small red bow with white stripes and black lining. Her skirt is black with yellow trim. Her boots are dark grey and laced with black thigh-high socks with small white lines at the top.
Personality
Saki is a cheerful, bright mood-maker who tries her best to never stop smiling. She enjoys fashion, and seems to take a liking to gyaru styles and subculture. Saki wants to make up for her years of isolation, where she would often feel lonely and sad, by spending time with friends and writing music. She also cares deeply for her friends and would even overwork herself by constantly practicing just to convince Shiho to join their band, as seen in Leo/need's Main Story.
Saki and her brother both love theme parks and their attractions. Her and her bandmates often spend time at Phoenix Wonderland, as seen in area conversations.
Etymology
Tenma (天馬) means "Pegasus". When split into two parts, Ten (天) means "heaven, sky" and Ma (馬) means "horse".[3]
Saki (咲希) means "blossom of hope". When split into two parts, Sa (咲) means "bloom, blossom" and Ki (希) means "hope".
Game Interactions
A list of characters Saki interacts with in the game.
Relationships
Subpage: Relationships
Hoshino Ichika: Childhood friends and bandmates. Back when Saki was in the hospital, Ichika would visit her the most often, aside from close family members. Ichika enjoys Saki's happy demeanor and persistent smile, saying that she is good at cheering people up, while Saki is glad Ichika is always there for her. Ichika often worries for Saki's wellbeing, while Saki tries to assure her that she has nothing to worry about. The two are close friends.
Mochizuki Honami: Childhood friends and bandmates. They had lost touch due to Saki's hospitalization, but have since reunited. Saki always tries to make her smile with hugs and apple pie. The two are often the ones in the group who radiate positivity, as they both share the same aspiration to make the people around them smile.
Hinomori Shiho: Childhood friends and bandmates. Their relationship was once strained, but they have since reunited and become closer. Saki thinks Shiho can be too strict, but admires her skills as a musician and enjoys being praised by her.
Hanasato Minori: Coworkers at their cafe part-time job.
Kiritani Haruka: Classmates from 1-C and friends following the Miyamasuzaka Sports Festival event. The two were both members of the Sports Festival Committee.
Momoi Airi: Saki is a big fan of Airi and often spent her time watching variety shows featuring Airi while she was hospitalized. When she ran into Airi at school, she instantly asked for an autograph and a handshake. In Secret ♡ Operation Valentine's Day, the two teamed up with Emu to form a secret alliance and make Valentines Day chocolates together, with Saki gushing over Airi all the while.
Hinomori Shizuku: Shiho's older sister. Saki and Shizuku came to know each other through Shiho, and have now become good friends. Saki sees Shizuku as a great older sister, to the extent that she wants an older sister of her own specifically because of Shizuku.[4]
Azusawa Kohane: Friends since the The BEST Summer Ever! event.
Aoyagi Toya: A childhood friend of both the Tenma siblings, as their parents knew each other through playing piano. He often passes on the plushies he wins from the arcade to Tsukasa to give to Saki, as he can't bring them home for fear his father will be upset. He still worries about Saki's condition, and asks about her health when hanging out with Saki and Tsukasa after school.[5]
She is one of the few characters that Toya refers to by their first name, as he calls her "Saki-san", likely because of their childhood friend status. Despite this, Saki and Toya aren't shown to be as close to each other as Tsukasa and Toya are, with this likely being due to her frequent hospitalization during her childhood.
Tenma Tsukasa: Saki's older brother. Tsukasa is shown to have taken care of her during the times when she was sick. He wanted Saki and her childhood friends to be together again, since he partly blamed himself for not preventing their falling out. Tsukasa is often showing off in front of Saki and the others, which ends in chaos, much to Saki's embarrassment. Despite this, Tsukasa works hard to protect her friendship so she can live a normal high school life. Tsukasa is often overprotective of her, being worried whenever anything about her seems off, which annoys Saki, but she understands he's trying his best. Saki admires him greatly.
Otori Emu: Classmates from 2-B and good friends. The two participated in the Miyamasuzaka Sports Festival and were on the committee together. They quickly got along as they shared the same enthusiasm for how fun the sports festival can be. When they first met, Saki commented on how Emu reminded her of Tsukasa, despite being unaware that they were in the same theatre troupe at the time.
Akiyama Mizuki: Friends since Bustling Cafe ●REC!, during which the two work together to make orders in the cafe. Though they initially bond over both knowing Tsukasa, they ultimately befriend one another due to their similarly energetic and passionate personalities. They also both tend to obsess over tiny details, which is revealed when Saki insists Mizuki remake an order of waffles because the whipped cream fell apart slightly. Mizuki relates this to their own experiences animating videos and comes to respect Saki more for the care she puts into her work.[6]
Hatsune Miku: Virtual Singer and friend.
Megurine Luka: Virtual Singer and friend.
MEIKO: Virtual Singer and friend.
Kagamine Rin: Virtual Singer and friend.
KAITO: Virtual Singer and friend.
Kagamine Len: Virtual Singer and friend.
