Character Name: Sakura Shinguji
Canon Sakura Wars
Personality: Sakura is the only daughter of Kazuma Shinguji, a former hero of the Demon War who sacrificed himself to see its end. The only heir to the great power of the Shinguji family, she was raised to follow her father's great legacy as a swordswoman. However, despite the somewhat high standards set upon her to be the spiritual successor of her father, Sakura is surprisingly normal all things considered. Growing up in the country, she has somewhat of a naive view of the world and how things work. She was also raised to be very polite, something she takes to heart. She has a warm personality, that is for sure, but she very rarely speaks out of turn, unless it is to those people she feels comfortable with.
Despite her training as a swordswoman, Sakura is surprisingly kind and not the least bit intense as one might think. Possessing a gentle heart, she does everything she can possible in order to help others. Tending to wear that bleeding heart of hers on her sleeve, she can be prone to moodiness at times, particularly where Ogami Ichiro is concerned. It's true, she does harbor a bit of a crush on her superior, and the whole world knows it save for Ogami himself. When she sees him with other women, she almost always assumes the worst and acts accordingly. When she's jealous, Sakura can be a little hard to deal with, and boy can she spit some venom when that comes up. At the end of the day, though, she always manages to forgive him for his transgression. While it seems like she could probably hold a rather heavy grudge, she has a hard time staying mad at anyone for too long.
Well, most anyone. There are always exceptions. Unfortunately, one of them happens to be on her team.
Sakura knows her faults. One thing she struggles with is the fact that she's a total klutz. She really doesn't mean to be, and it's something that she's very sensitive about. When picked on about it, she tends to do one of two things: in the case of Sumire, one of her team mates, she usually flies off the handle. Her biting remarks certainly aren't welcome, and Sakura has been known to bite back when she feels it's appropriate. However, it does bother her that her clumsiness can hurt or hinder other people, and when that happens she tends to draw back into her little shell. Yes, she is prone to moodiness and sometimes takes guilt a bit too far, readily willing to blame herself more than is really needed. She snaps back quickly from this, but there are times where she has been known to act rashly when it one of these depressive moods.
At the end of the day, Sakura Shinguji is the heir to a great legacy, and no one knows that better than her. While she does not let on that the responsibility is constantly there, constant training and honing her skills are a part of her everyday life. She works hard to be an asset to her team and can be rather intense in battle. She does not think much of the work that she puts toward her training or toward performance, so any kind of compliments tend to throw her for a loop. She assumes this much work is expected of her, so that feeling of elation from praise tends to last a bit longer than with most people.
All and all, despite a somewhat unconventional upbringing and high expectations, Sakura is a relatively normal girl as far as she sees it. A bit clumsy but always greeting the world with a polite smile.
History: Wiki
Setting Info: Wiki
Canon Point: End of chapter 17 (manga)
Abilities/Powers: Sakura possesses what is known as spiritual energy, which she (along with the other people in the Hana-Gumi) uses in order to fight kouma. While the Hana-Gumi almost always tend to fight the kouma using steam-powered mechs (known as Kobu), Sakura has been able to defeat one on foot using the ouka hoshin, a powerful spiritual attack channeled through her sword.
Intended Guild: Knights of the Cross; given her upbringing, the Knights of the Cross are the best suited guild for her. Sakura is fiercely loyal and just, convicted in what she does and wants nothing more than to defend those who cannot defend themselves.
Notes/Other Info: Sakura will be coming in initially without her Kobu, but will likely bring it back with her later.
