Name: Sakura Minamoto
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Group: Heroes
Homeworld: The Information Age: 2018 CE
Occupation: Unemployed
Face Claim: Kill la Kill – Ryuko Matoi
Talents:
Baseball: Sakura’s favourite sport is baseball, both to play and to watch. She supports the Yokohama DeNA BayStars though they haven’t won a game in her lifetime. She also enjoys the atmosphere of the stadium and the culture surrounding the sport.
Otaku Stuff: A pretty guilty pleasure for Sakura is that she likes what she considers to be dumb otaku junk, especially super robot and superhero TV shows and manga, specifically Denshi Sentai Denziman.
Junk Food: Not cooking mind you, just eating it. Sakura is almost never seen without something in hand that she’s currently munching on, whether it be hotdogs, burgers, teriyaki sticks or takoyaki. Fortunately for her though despite this bad habit though she never seems to put on any weight.
History: Sakura was born in Tokyo, Japan, the child of an unmarried couple who were later engaged through obligation. Her father was a man who kept to himself mostly though rumours were he worked for the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Yakuza. Her mother was a hostess who worked in a club that her father frequented, explaining their familiarity with one another before the point of Sakura’s accidental conception, a fact that neither of them kept secret from her. All Sakura ever heard from her parents was how difficult she made their lives, to pay for his new family her father had to work even harder and found climbing the ranks more difficult with the stigma attached to his name, whilst her mother found attracting high paying clients difficult due to the rumours that surrounded her due to her association with her new husband.
Unlike many affected by the illness Sakura didn’t actually notice herself being affected all that much, she did become sick for just under week but simply passed it off as being a bad case of the flu. It is because of this that to this day she is still completely unaware of mages existing. Having finally dropped out of high school she made her way to Tokyo to live out her dream of fulfilling her father’s ambition.
Magic Overview: Despite being a girl that’s barely over five foot tall she can lift a car over her head as if it weighed nothing, she can run at speeds faster than humanly possible, and jump over buildings like hurdles. Her physical prowess is such that it goes completely against all laws of physics, what's certain though is it has to be magical in nature.

Face Claim: Kill la Kill – Ryuko Matoi
Appearance:
Sakura is pretty typical for a girl her age, if not a little more developed than most. She’s fairly thin and lightly muscled, which is remarkable considering her poor diet. She stands at just over five foot and weighs about one hundred and twenty pounds, putting her dead in the centre of the BMI index. She’s not all that great at knowing what to wear and so often just sort of throws on whatever she thinks looks good, even if it doesn’t match, doesn’t fit, or have any sense of consistent style. Mostly she just goes for cheap knockoffs of popular brands, like Nike, Supreme, Kiks Tyo, Undercover, ect.

Personality: Sakura is a mixed bag of emotions and tends to jump between extremes rather than keeping a level head. She’s quick to anger and more than willing to resort to threats of physical violence, especially when her reputation is on the line as she cares a lot about what people think of her, though whether or not she means what she says is debatable. The fact that she is practically immune to damage has significantly boosted her boldness however, and has even made her somewhat less understanding of the fragility of others. She is extremely opinionated regardless of whether or not she knows the correct answer yet stubborn enough to not change her mind even when given proof of being wrong, though if ever tasked to carry out anything she’s set her mind on she often lacks the focus required to carry it to fruition, often becoming bored and moving onto something more interesting.
She's mostly quite creative though her ideas don't often follow much logical sense, often the result of her coming up with whatever she thinks is cool at the time without thinking about how it's supposed to work, which can lead her to making up elaborate stories and excuses that work very well at the time but eventually fall apart under scrutiny. She tends to speak in a highly energetic tone, never pausing between words and rarely listening to other participants in the conversation. She's not the sort of person who thinks of a plan, instead choosing to run in and tackle a problem headfirst, sometimes for the best, usually not though.
When Sakura was thirteen her father was found dead in a subway carriage from multiple stab wounds, likely the target of a rival gang. This left her mother in an apartment in the big city she could no longer afford. Unable to make ends meet they moved to Moriya in Ibaraki Prefecture, a small industrial city not really noted for anything impressive. Her mother chose there specifically for the lower rent costs and that she was promised a job at a large hostess establishment, but was rejected by the owner due to lying on her resume and so had to fall back on employment at a small snack bar.
At this point Sakura had completely checked out of bothering with anything, her education bored her and so she was considered a bit of a delinquent, a title she disliked because though she often got into fights it wasn’t her who sought them out, she just didn’t have the temper for putting up with people who intentionally bothered her. Besides, she had a lot to live up for regarding her father’s former criminal activity, and due to her failing grades she figured she’d probably move back to Tokyo and join the Yamaguchi-gumi. They weren’t known for accepting many female members to her knowledge but Sakura more than qualified with how tremendously strong she had become through all the training she did. At least that’s what Sakura assumed in any case.
