	Movies - Sati

Sati is a fictional character (played by Tanveer K. Atwal) in the science fiction film, The Matrix Revolutions
, named after a Hindu deity who committed suicide after her parents forbade her marriage.

Plot

Sati (played by Tanveer K. Atwal) is a program created by her "father" Rama-Kandra and "mother" Kamala. Sati is scheduled for deletion because she has no purpose, born only out of love. To save her, Rama-Kandra sells the deletion codes for the shell of the Oracle to the Merovingian. He does this at the Le Vrai restaurant, just before the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar speaks to the Merovingian. In exchange for the codes, Sati is smuggled into the Matrix through the Mobil Avenue train station where she will be put under the care of the Oracle, who has gotten a new shell.

Sati is the daughter of two programs. Her father is the "power plant systems manager for recycling operations" and her mother is an "interactive-software designer" who is "very creative". This seemingly has some impact on Sati's purpose. Although is it often assumed Sati has control over the weather, this is untrue. Agent Smith's apparent ability to manipulate the weather comes only from the consequence of him copying himself over the Oracle. In the final scene of Revolutions, Sati creates a sunrise "for Neo", but at no time has any implications on the weather in the Matrix.

Sati is named after a Hindu deity who committed suicide after her parents forbade her marriage. This is probably a reference to her prospected deletion because she does not have a purpose and not a statement about her parents, who both were willing to risk a lot for her.

Speculation

During the film the Oracle is seen showing Sati how to bake cookies. It has been speculated that the Oracle's cookies are actually representations of special Matrix-codes she makes (The Merovingian is capable of "programming" his own 'special' piece of cake that gave a woman an orgasm when she ate it). Thus the Oracle could have activated some new level of function and understanding in Neo when she gave him a cookie (and later a candy). Therefore the scene with Sati being taught this may imply that she is being kept by the Oracle not just to hide, but as a protege.
