Sanakia Drelshkaf

About
One of the finest warriors in the now-destroyed kingdom of Dallas, participated in the ill-fated Ylapu Expedition about 220 years ago. She was kept in suspended animation by a Tousho mad doctor and only brought out of it when Rance passed through. She yearns for knighthood.

She's currently the Gatekeeper of the Rance Castle.

Personality and Appearance
Sanakia is a very prideful warrior. She claims that she abandoned her womanhood and intends to become a powerful and respectable knight. She's strong-willed, determined and tries her best to train and become stronger. Even so, she's not quite strong and is often ridiculed by Rance and defeated by him. It's for this reason that she hates him. She has a pretty horrible luck too.

She hates to be treated like a woman or to be underestimated. She's pretty reckless and tends to act without thinking much, specially when she's angry(which happens pretty often). She's not a bad person though, she has good qualities as a leader and inspires her allies. She's very extremist and will usually push and encourage others to limits.

She's always wearing heavy armor and a short brown hair, almost looking like a man. When she doesn't, she can be a pretty woman but she doesn't like femininity and isn't ladylike at all.

Abilities
She was the leader of a party conformed by the strongest fighters in the small kingdom of Dallas. While she's by no means bad, she's not a very strong combatant and is often put to shame but swordsmen like Rance. She's always training with the objective in mind of becoming stronger and defeating Rance to make him acknowledge her. She's very rigorous and disciplined.

She has a sword combat Lv1 skill and is very attached with her sword, seeing it as her companion in battle. She has a level cap of 22 and is at said cap, which means that she has reached her full potential. She's a prime example of the limitations the Planner Scenario sets on humans, regardless how much she trains trying to become stronger to defeat Rance, she has already reached her full potential and her training only serves to stay at that level.

Rance IV
Sanakia first appeared in Rance IV. She was a knight from the ancient kingdom of Dallas. When exploring the floating city of Ylapu, she was captured and frozen for a long time by a mad doctor. When she was about to be transformed by the doctor, Rance slays the doctor and rapes her while she's unconscious. Because of it, Sanakia hates Rance and leaves after waking up. She later challenges rance to a rematch and is defeated and raped again. When the floating city of Ylapu falls to the ground at the end of Rance 4, Sanakia escapes from the crash and set out an adventure alone since her country (Dallas kingdom) was gone long time ago.

Kichikuou Rance
After the events of Rance IV, Sanakia settles on the ruins of the fallen city of Ylapu. She became the military leader of a local city. When Rance's army attacks her city, she is defeated by Rance and raped again.

Rance VI
After the events of Rance IV, Sanakia traveled to Zeth. When she saw the destitute conditions of second-class citizens in Zeth, she joined the Ice Flame Resistance.

When Rance first joins Ice Flame, she has conflicts with him. But in the latter part of Rance 6, she warms up to Rance, even expecting to serve Rance as his personal knight (after Rance was to become king of Zeth). Rance promised to make her the leader of the knights when he gained leadership of Zeth, and she was very happy about the future prospects of being the leader of a knight brigade.

However, Rance totally forgot about the promise as he fled from his wedding to Magic, and went to JAPAN ....

Sengoku Rance
In Sengoku Rance, there is an event in which Sanakia yells at Rance for forgetting about their promise. However, she is not actually playable in-game and has no CG art; it's an all-text event.

Rance Quest
Sanakia is shown to be a castle guard of Rance Castle upon construction. She can be recruited into your party if Magnum expansion pack is installed.

Trivia

 * She's one of the few humans known to reach their cap, although it's not that much of a feat since it's a pretty low cap though it is possible for rance to raise it to 56.
 * Due to being frozen for over 2 centuries she is one of the eldest non-immortal humans alive.
