Sadako is an evil spirit girl with long black hair that perpetually covers her face. She is always seen in a long, white dress and has pale, water-covered skin, a result of her death by drowning. She is a vengeful ghost who scares her victims to death to steal their souls. Despite her terrifying nature, she is very sensitive and dislikes being called cute. Her movements are unnatural and frightening, as she is able to crawl directly out of a television screen.
