== History ==
Masaka previously used the name Chinikdakordich, and is the sixtieth horde of the [[Natricatich strain]] of Sleepless. She doesn't talk much about their past, but experienced a great deal of prejudice due to being a Sleepless. At some point she grew tired of wars being fought elsewhere in the [[cosmere]] and so decided to disguise herself and live a normal human life. After years of breeding she was able to produce a convincing face, and took up residence on [[Kilahito]]. When she arrived on Kilahito, she sent out hordelings to investigate her surroundings. She found circular regions which she could not enter, and avoided searching them further.{{book ref|yumi|33}}
In upper school on Komashi, Masaka was rumored to have stabbed someone years prior, and been sent to become a painter by a court as part of her plea deal.{{book ref|yumi|16}} During their schooling she became friends with [[Nikaro]], [[Akane]], [[Tojin]], and [[Izzy]].{{book ref|yumi|16}} She once made a hat for Nikaro
When [[Yumi]] first arrived in [[Kilahito]], Masaka drew a strange bunny for her as a gift.{{book ref|yumi|16}} Later, [[Design]] recruited Masaka to help Yumi map out the planet beyond the [[shroud]]. Masaka was readily willing to help once she understood the issue was important, though she begged Yumi not to tell anyone about her nature and offered a knife as a gift when Yumi promised not to tell. Masaka was able to map out the locations of the circular areas in the shroud where they were unable to enter.{{book ref|yumi|33}}
