From this screenshot, which I think is from ひぐらしのなく頃に命, Shion says she might
have 'Sな気質', or an S-temperament. What does that mean? I tried googling, but
the results are beyond my level of Japanese.

> 私って、Sな気質なのかもしれませんねー。 もっとも、こんな感じに気安く接するのは サトシくんに対してなんです

Meaning of Sな気質
This S is the opposite of
[M](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/59285/5010).

> 私って、Sな気質なのかもしれませんねー。  
>  I may have a bit of sadistic temperament!

Although this is originally a term related to sexual pleasure, whether it has
a sexual implication depends on the context.
