About: A lifelong fan of swashbuckling, exploring and adventure of all kinds, for Sadie getting a summer job as a 'skipper' on the Jungle Cruise at the Magic Kingdom was almost a dream come true. The only down side for her, aside from the fact that her short stature made it difficult to get noticed by the tourists sometimes, was that there were no live animals to be had....
One night while performing a routine sweep to make sure nothing was out of place before closing, Sadie was surprised to discover a pygmy white alligator floating about amongst its animatronic brethren. Instead of being shocked when the creature addressed her as Pathfinder and started spinning tales that sounded more like one of the movies and books she loved so much than like anything that happened in real life, she was absolutely delighted.
Though pretty low-powered and unsure of what her job as a Senshi actually is (considering it isn't like Godzilla's going to attack Disney World any time soon...probably), Sadie is more than willing to accept whatever challenges come her way.

Abilities: In Senshi form, her senses are enhanced to provide near-superhuman vision, hearing and smell. She can also use portions of her 'brooch' as either a shield or a spear. The shield blocks minor, purely physical attacks. She has some difficulty with the spear, since it's longer than she is tall.

"Bush Tongue": Enables her to understand the speech of wild animals and to a limited degree, some native languages. She can only speak back to the animals, however.

"Jungle Cloak": Produces a quantity of mosquito netting which can camouflage up to five people as long as they don't move quickly. It's also most effective against biting insects.

Notes:
Safari's brooch and spear are based on the sign above the entrance to the Jungle Cruise ride.
The pattern on her skirt and collar comes from the striped awnings on the ride's boats.
Sadie's first name comes from one of the boats at the WDW Cruise, the Sankuru Sadie. Her last name, Osa, I ran across while looking into period safari wear - Martin and Osa Johnson were famous explorers of the early twentieth century.
Created for marie-berry's contest on DA (Senshi based on rides at Walt Disney theme parks), Safari is based on the Jungle Cruise at the Magic Kingdom (WDW in Florida). She also ended up being the winning entry!
