Regular

Hikaru Sakura, also known as Undead, was the founder of the Noble Roses Team back when her and Alyssa were best friends, and would be the one considered to have the most experience in the team regarding the city and its factions. Her exclusive weapon is a quick-scoping sniper rifle, formally named the Quickscope.

## History

Hikaru had lived the majority of her life within Crestfall and continues to do so. She had always felt more comfortable being in a known environment. She has intelligence and wisdom beyond her years, knowledgeable about her surroundings, and has excellent strategic skills. Music is her main source in easing pain and anxiety throughout her years, in which she listens to as she travels. She felt lonely until she met her very first friend, Alyssa. They both did not understand the concept of friendship, and Hikaru had the urge to protect her and teach her the many ways in which to survive the harsh conditions.

## Appearance

Hikaru Sakura is a short and stubby eighteen-year-old woman with obsidian black hair. Her most notable feature are her eyes, due to a lot of makeup. She wears a variety of clothes ranging from black long sleeve shirts and red jeans to black tank tops and red leggings. She typically wears her glasses, which also has a variety of colored frames, ranging from red or blue. Hikaru wears striped socks, and has a sheath for her combat knife around her waist. Whilst walking around Crestfall, she wears her red headphones. She has several scars on her lower torso, possibly due scratches from the Faded.

## Personality

Hikaru Sakura is a mature and independent character. She does not tolerate being told what to do, and her remarks are clever. She is also very serious in most circumstances, and although her vision is far from perfect, Hikaru is extremely cautious. She places a lot of trust and faith in her gut feeling while traveling. When she has an opportunity to speak, Hikaru is charismatic and can easily influence those whom have spoken to her. Her most common traits are being knowledgeable and observant yet can be easily pretentious in her pride and skill.

## Traits & Abilities

Hikaru is a leadership model and rarely raises her voice. She enjoys sharing her knowledge to others and teach them lessons. Her strategist trait could very easily lead to manipulation of her environment and towards other individuals. Hikaru has a very distinctive charm due to her choice of words, and her stern yet soft voice. She is headstrong and places her own survival as her number one priority. She is equipped with a 114mm sniper rifle that has a range of over 2,000 meters.

### Abilities

The main ability that Hikaru possesses is being able to raise and aim her Quickscope in less than a second. Most individuals do not see any action performed until the shot is fired. The drawback is a major loss in accuracy. When Hikaru is angered, she will use her unique soul ability to capture and absorb souls around her. This is only used in emergencies and cannot be used again for months.

## Relations

Hikaru Sakura has a distaste for the newer members of the Noble Roses when she learned that they are all grouped together without her approval. After she was supposedly betrayed by Alyssa, Hikaru decided to live her life on her own and have a permanent mindset that all of the Noble Roses Team are nothing more than cowards that hide behind walls. She has a strong belief that if she ever sees Alyssa again, her intuition will convince her to murder her on the spot. She has a friendly alliance with the Rebels and has influenced the Condors to pay her food and ammunition only in exchange to keep their empire defended as a Field Marshall. She has a rivalry with the Crows, and would prefer that they were all killed. She takes interest in their Liberator Tank, and would like to own it one day. Similarly to the Condors, she wishes to take control or destroy Crestfall, as she enjoys being imperialistic and opportunistic.
