She dresses chique without fail, be it club-wear leather or professional Prada, with skilled makeup and tailored clothing. She wears a wedding ring: a titanium band with a single, flush set black spinel. |
She's a desk worker, but her physique makes clear that she works out often. Sanneke speaks English fluently, with a mixed British/American accent. A good ear can tell she's not a native speaker of either variant. She speaks French with a Brussels accent, and Dutch with a native Flemish (Brabants) accent. | She's a desk worker, but her physique makes clear that she works out often.

She began working for the Illuminati in 2004, at the beginning of her Bachelor's education. While attending school, she worked parallel in a small Brussels-based lawfirm ([http://www.tcdale.com/cswiki/index.php?title=Smedt,_Cherny,_%26_Associates Smedt, Cherny, & Associates]) that was associated with Team Blue. She was part of their contract negotiation team, and specialized, off the books, in wining, dining, and charming clients into signing lucrative contracts that weren't always in their best interests. Her skills at working people quickly become apparent, and after she received her Bachelors degree she was re-assigned to the main Illuminati office in Brussels. She worked there from 2007-2013, primarily focused on EU, EEA, and EFTA-related diplomatic tasks. In 2013, following the events in Tokyo and a very concerning incident within Cerberus, Sandrijn was re-assigned to Ealdwic as a Human Resources professional to help turn the company around and rebuild it in line with new managerial direction. | She began working for the Illuminati in 2004, at the beginning of her Bachelor's education.

Sanneke has a positive aura around her which inclines people to like her (in D&D terms, people react 'one category more favorably' than they normally would). She can, by force of will, affect people with ''Fascination'' (a type of charm resulting in the person developing a desire/urge to curry Sanneke's favor and please her), and ''Euphoria'' (not a charm, but general and intense feelings of love/lust/pleasure). | Sanneke has a positive aura around her which inclines people to like her (in D&D terms, people react 'one category more favorably' than they normally would).

She can, by force of will, affect people with ''Rally'' (likewise a moral boost / bolster against fear). This power is more effective on small groups than individuals. Additionally, people are often naturally drawn to her when they are in times of struggle or despair, and will seek her out for support or open up to her about their problems, without conscious knowledge of why they do so. | ||

Sanneke's largest and most glaring weakness is that, beyond her own personal strength and reflexes, and her abilities with water.... none of her powers lend themselves to combat or defense. Her strength comes almost entirely from the loyalty and love of the people she surrounds herself with, who can and will protect her at the cost of their own lives. However, if isolated from her followers (and lacking a conveniently placed body of water to manipulate), Sanneke hasn't enough 'divine power' to so much as unlock a door, and must rely on her enhanced strength and reflexes until she can contact her followers to assist her. | Sanneke's largest and most glaring weakness is that, beyond her own personal strength and reflexes, and her abilities with water.... none of her powers lend themselves to combat or defense.
