Virtues:
Determined/Persistent
Sakura is very driven and will pursue something to its completion no matter what. She hates leaving things unfinished and it bothers her greatly if she is absolutely forced to. She will spend hours working on something as long as it means that it will get done, forgoing sleep as well.
Nurturing Sakura has a very strong nurturing instinct. She worries over her friends and feels very protective over them. This stems from a chain of events when she was younger where her so called friends were only around her to use her for their own benefit and now her never wanting to see anyone she cares about to be used like that. She will stand up for her someone who is being hurt, going from her usual happy-go-lucky self to fairly aggressively determined/protective. Her friends are the most important thing in the world to her. She will stand up for other people and try to take them under her wing as well, however, aside from just her friends. If she sees someone struggling, she will definitely try to help them out, feeling a need to reach out and give them a little boost. She often gives people advice and lets them cry on her shoulder if need be, She's a good confidant and is easy to talk to as well.
Flaws:
Prideful This may have a little bit to do with her determination. She hates backing down from anything, though this goes above and beyond just the need to finish things. If Sakura is challenged to do something, her pride refuses to let her decline. She's gotten herself into many a sticky situation due to this. She also hates admitting when she's wrong because of this. Sure you can call her on it alllll you want, but that won't mean she'll admit to it. She'll likely make an excuse or try to talk her way out of being wrong. She loves being right, loves knowing things others do not, and loves always being first or the best. She won't outright sabotage someone, however she isn't above trying to throw their confidence to give herself a little boost if she is competing in something.
Socially awkward Sakura doesn't always say the right things at the right time, usually coming off as quite awkward. She doesn't really know how to act in large social settings, much as she loves to be in them, as she never had much experience with that when she was younger. She will shy away from a lot of subjects that are popular due to her awkwardness and when she does try to join in conversation, she will likely flub up and make the conversation itself awkward. There are also social cues and many jokes and references that she misses due to this.
Sakura currently lives in the town house of Aloysius, and thinks of him and Liam as her "family" for the time being.
Zakuro is an only child. Zak's mother is a lawyer and her father is a computer tech. Her maternal grandparents are originally from Destiny City, with her mother being originally from there as well, and paternal grandparents and father are from Kyoto, Japan. Things started falling apart where they were living in Tokyo, so they decided to move and live with Zak's maternal grandparents.

gaia_star Sakura gets a lot of her inspiration for her clothing designs from Japanese fashion, doing her best to keep up on current styles
gaia_star Sakura is extremely self-conscious, especially of how she looks. She doesn't have traditional Japanese features, and doesn't feel very feminine at all. She's very aware of how socially awkward she is at times as well and it makes her even more self conscious too.
gaia_starFashion: As someone who designs her own clothing, Sakura keeps up on the trends and the who's who. She has several magazines and always keeps up on the latest trends (even if she herself might not wear all of them. She knows what looks good on her body and if anyone thinks she will wear something that doesn't flatter her just because it's trendy, they are sorely mistaken). She enjoys the high end, well known designers and likes keeping an eye on up and coming names as well.
gaia_starDesigning her own clothing: Have you ever gone clothing shopping and found either the perfect item in the wrong size? Or maybe not found a single thing at all that you like? Sakura was sick and tired of this problem and started making her own clothing. She's quite good at it and will occasionally do commissions if she has free time. She started making her own jewelry back in elementary school, just stringing pretty beads together in nice patterns, but it evolved later into full blown clothing making.
Fuku Colour: Main Color: Dark Red Secondary Color: Antique gold
Fuku: Collar -- Plain collar. Red and trimmed in gold Bow -- Thin ribbon style for both. Bodice -- Classic canon-style bodice Sleeves -- No sleeves here~! Brooch -- Diamond shaped. Bottoms -- red pleated mini skirt with gold trim Tiara -- Canon style golden tiara with a red diamond shaped gem in the center. Choker -- A thin red ribbon Shoes -- Calf-high red heeled boots with laces. Gloves -- Red ribbon twined around her right arm from elbow to wrist. On her left arm, there's a red ribbon tied in a bow on her upper arm. Accessories -- Red studs with little diamond shaped drops dangling off of them. Attacks: Sailor Scout Attack: pyrocumulus -picking a target, a cloud forms above their head as a line of fire surrounds their feet. the fire feeds heat into the cloud, turning it (basically) into a storm cloud of hot wind and ashy rain. It serves as a distraction, though they can get free if they dare risk the fire (slight singeing of the clothing can happen but no harm comes to the target aside from normal effects of inhaling smoke such as a sore throat and/or coughing). Three uses per battle, attack lasts fifteen seconds.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Flash storm -picking a target, a cloud forms above their head as a line of fire surrounds their feet. the fire feeds heat into the cloud, this time turning it into a thunderstorm cloud of hot wind, cloud lightning and hot ashy rain. It serves as a distraction, though they can get free if they dare risk the slightly higher fire (singeing of the clothing happens and it almost feels as though there is a slight burning sensation where the singing happened, light red marks appearing on the bare skin it touches like faint burn marks, players can choose to take more damage if they wish). Two uses per battle, attack lasts twenty-five seconds.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Fire Whirl A.o.E attack. Clouds form above a fifteen foot radius while a ring of fire surrounds those within. The heat from the fire feeds into the cloud, this time creating a mesocyclone. The mesocylone, upon mixing with the flames, creates a fire whirl that traps those in the area. Leaves the targets with the feeling of having been burned, possible singeing as well, though no actual burns are left on the targets. One use per battle, lasts thirty-five seconds.
