Hair (color/style): Sakura’s hair is very long, and the kind of dark brown that is closer to chestnut than black. Is it usually worn half-up, or in some kind of elaborate, elegant way that must have taken hours, however seems to look effortless. In the light, it is a two-dimensional kind of ash brown that seems to defy gravity in the wind. But in the dark, it appears as if it is charcoal black.
Eyes: Usually they are blacker than night itself, with a small ring of hazel around the center, and very large, in a doll-like sort of fashion that tends to make her look very young, especially when she wants to appear more mature. Sakura’s eyes are her downfall, because they are so easy to read emotion from.
Distinguishing Features: Sakura has very large, plush, baby lips that seem to pout even when she is in a good mood. They can be found on an apple-shaped face, with soft cheekbones and a slightly pointed chin. Following a button nose and a prominent cupid’s bow, are her softly arching eyebrows, framing her face in a way that seems both innocent and mischievous.
Tattoo: Cherry blossoms blowing in the wind, in a very faint white ink trailing from the top of her left thigh around the hip, circling inward like a vine down toward her inner ankle. Hardly noticeable, except for when directly in the light.

About CharacterRelationship status: Single
Sexuality: Straight
Personality: One word…firecracker. Sakura has a very bright outlook on life, even when she didn’t have a very good past. She is very doll-like, however, past her innocent features lies a bright, clever girl who would never let anyone try to tell her she’s not. She is rather stubborn, however friendly enough that she doesn’t mind not getting her way. Sakura let’s her emotions flow into her dancing quite frequently, being an amazing acrobat, she could probably join the circus if people would allow her to. She’s very mischievous, getting herself into trouble rather easily, however never really seeing anything bad happening because of her actions.
History: Sakura came from a very poor family, however, they always seemed to have enough to get by somehow. She took lessons for fighting when she was six, her acrobatic nature making her both a graceful fighter, however getting her into trouble when she would get side tracked with impressing her friends with cartwheels and flips. She was always very small, and when it came time to fight with swords, she turned from graceful, spry monkey into a clumsy duckling. Her teachers thought it would be better if, instead of most of the other students, she would fight hand-to-hand, like some of the older children did. So, although it was hard, and her fellow students could never go easy on her, she learned how to fight melee, without a sword to assist her.
At the age of twelve, everything changed. She was beginning to turn into a blossoming young woman, and people were beginning to notice her grace, and her flexibility, including her parents. The Yamazaki’s were facing poverty, to the most extreme extent. Sakura would give her food to her mother, or to her father instead of herself, not wanting them to starve, or die from exhaustion from their work. However, many nights she went hungry. She would have died, if not for one of her friends at the Dojo. Chika was like a sister to her, although Sakura was a couple years younger, Chika didn’t mind much that the annoying little monkey hung around her so often.
One night, her father took her out of bed. They hadn’t eaten in days, sipping watered down soup and eating rice every once and a while, when they could get their hands on it. Her father took her, in the pouring rain, down to the village…where he sold her for a great amount of money to the Geisha House. The owner, a woman named Ume, told him she had been watching the girl for some time. She was born to be a dancer, and a dancer Sakura became in a short amount of time.
So, as her friends at the Dojo grew up fighting, Sakura grew up dancing. She snuck out to see Chika on a regular basis, whenever she could get out, however she never thought of running away from the Geisha House. They treated her well there. Giving her beautiful clothes, taking her to parties, and training her in ways to become a beautiful young woman. Sakura is currently the highest paid Geisha for her age.
Weapons: Although Sakura’s main focus is dancing, she could never give up her training. She was too graceful, too acrobatic not to. Her preferred weapon would be bare hands, however she is known to use iron fists in a true battle.
