* Satsuki Yumizuka a.k.a. "Sacchin" from ''[[Tsukihime]]''. She quickly disappears on each route of the game despite being set up as another possible heroine, and in some branches {{spoiler|she is quickly and cruelly dispatched by Shiki Tohno after becoming a vampire and declaring her admiration for him in a truly [[Tear Jerker]] moment}}. The anime lets her {{spoiler|survive unvampirized in the [[Muggle]] sidelines}}, but other than that it didn't treat her much better; the manga, more of the same. In ''[[Melty Blood]]'' she re-appears, but {{spoiler|as an enemy, in her vampire form. She is quite real (and dangerous) in the game, but in its manga adaptation she is the form that Tatari took after discovering Shiki's guilt for having had to kill her, and then he has to dispatches her ''again''}}. In truth, she is more famous for how she ''doesn't'' appear that much on the other semi-official media, and the unreleased "Satsuki route" (which was supposedly planned and partially written but cut out, and is allegedly the one where the events of ''[[Melty Blood]]'' happen) is one of the running jokes of the franchise and the fandom, a thing not helped by the fact that the remake of the game, which allegedly would contain her route, has been stuck in [[Vaporware]] for half a decade. Within some fandoms (including this very wiki; see Meta below) she became ''the'' poster girl of the phenomenon (and former [[Trope Namer]] for this very trope) due to a [[Memetic Mutation|meme]] based on the phrase "Isn't it sad, Sacchin?"
