Satori are among the shortest species of youkai, with an average height of just 4 feet 8 inches. Their constitution is usually very slim, bordering on lithe, with a very low average weight of just 95 pounds for both males and females.
A satori's primary ability lies in psionics. They are capable of projecting psionic energy into various techniques; offensively (''psi-blast''), defensively (''psi-confuse'' and ''psi-stun''), or for healing themselves (''psi-heal''). They also possess the gift of psionic analysis - colloquially known as ''"mind reading"''. Through psionic analysis, a satori is always highly alert and reactive, and they can accurately read the true intentions of any creature on sight (even and especially if they are trying to conceal them). If given enough time to observe and concentrate on a single creature, a satori can eventually read that creature's surface thoughts, and further determine intentions or plans, as well as true emotions and feelings in greater detail. Further concentrating on a single person may lead to discovering deeper memories and thoughts.
Attempting to lie to, or manipulate a satori practically a lost cause; they can always see through you. For this reason, satori are naturally skilled interrogators, and some find successful careers as private eyes.
