## Background

Ichigo is the only child of Razu and Burū Sato. (Yes they’re all named after berries, technically Strawberries aren’t berries) She is the Heiress to Genso Corp through her ‘Uncle’ Homura. As such, she has basically infinite money and everything she could possibly ask for. She was also born much stronger than regular humans are. By the time she was 10, she was strong enough to lift trucks with one arm! She went to Orange Star City High School and was known as the most popular, strongest, fastest, richest girl. But she was put on such a pedestal that nobody actually thought they were good enough to be her friend. She realized one day after saving her friend from a bully that she really liked fighting. She found herself buying her own home gym and hiring multiple martial artists to teach her how to fight.

Over the years, she learnt how to manifest her Ki for flying! And lasers! She’s not awfully great at it though. At the same time, she studied at various universities just because she felt like it, multiple PhDs later, she found herself back at home, training and coding and training and building.

## Personality

Ichigo is a headstrong and passionate person. She’s openly friendly to everyone she meets and would do anything for her friends. Ichigo is also competitive, almost to a fault. She has a tendency to be blunt when she doesn’t mean to as her heart speaks before her brain does. She also tends to put her foot in her mouth when talking to people due to this. Ichigo gets fixated on things very easily, and is prone to ignoring things that don't interest her by mistake.

## Appearance

At her debut, Ichigo had straight, pink hair cut into straight bands with a red hairband across her head. She has bright baby blue eyes and a pale complexion. Across her nose are several freckles, albeit faded. After training with North Kai in his domain, her hair grew out. She remains with her straight cut bangs, but with the addition of two strands of hair between her face and ears. When in combat, she tied her hair into a messy low ponytail.

Ichigo is characterised by never wearing the same clothes twice, so her wardrobe is varied. It should be noted that grey is one of her favourite colors to wear since it goes with everything, she is also known for bright accents, such as her red hairband or yellow scrunchie.

Ichigo is one of the shortest characters shown at 5'1, though this doesn't come up very often. For some reason, Saiyans like to call her Pinkie.

## Abilities

Ichigo is one of the strongest people Earth has ever produced, from a young age she was exceptionally gifted in mobility and strength and has been known to fight bullies for her friends as a child. Once she realised she can help more people if she was stronger, she actively sought out and hired some of the worlds greatest martial artists.

Ichigo is the progenitor of a fighting style known as "Flower Dance." Heavily inspired by the movement of **Capoeira** and the free flowing efficency of **Taekwondo**. In Ichigo's style of combat, it's not about hurting your opponent, but staying mobile and safe while sprinkling in damage while you can. Ichigo, though, is a bit of a glass cannon and doesn't have many durability feats to speak of.

Ichigo's raw strength is one of the highest shown, next to Kyahan enraged and Super Saiyan Kora. For instance, while training, she was able to completely negate the force of Minato's spinning kick. Additionally, on Namek, she was able to stop Mighty Mask's Mighty Killer Series: Mjolnor with a single fist, while Kora, Mizuna and Keal were completely unable to stop his previous attack while working together.

##### Sakura Blast

The Sakura Blast is a rather simple projection of Ichigo's Ki into the physical world. It doesn't have any unique properties. She has used a **Super Sakura Blast** on a few occasions, but this was just a way of Ichigo amping herself up mentally to put more Ki into the attack.

##### Hanaken

The Hanaken is possibly Ichigo's most technically impressive moves. Through delivering a blow, she is able to use her Ki to infest the target's Ki network and disorientate them from inside. It has been used by Kora, Minato and Sakui. Ichigo once used a variant of this move using Renge Hinjo'ou, aptly named **Hanakiru**, meaning Flower Cut. This technique is named after her adopted sister, Hana Sato.

##### Flight of The Bumblebee

Flight of The Bumblebee, later shortened to Bee-step, is a unique technique Ichigo first used against Tomazo in the Battle of West City. Ichigo uses her Ki to power up her body's mobility at the price of being unable to use Ki while in this state. The reward is well worth it, at a four times multiplier to her speed, she utilises this to deliver quick attacks before vanishing from danger.

##### Kaioken

The Kaioken, learned from North Kai, multiplies the user's *ki* for a "heartbeat" and turns their aura crimson - amplifying their power and speed to overcome previously stronger foes at the cost of extreme bodily recoil. Ichigo notes that the fiery aura produced by the technique isn't just a fancy color change, its her super-charged blood vaporising.

##### Spirit Bomb

While not officially taught, Ichigo watched Minato training with this technique and managed to teach herself. It should be noted that it takes her much longer to absorb planetary Ki than Minato, due to her inexperience with Ki variants and lack of formal training.

### Annion

Annion is one of Ichigo's best friends. They often go shopping together, and Ichigo always pays before Annion has a chance to. Despite the amount of debt Annion falls into with Ichigo, Ichigo insists they're gifts and doesn't want anything in return other than Annion's friendship. Ichigo appreciates having a friend like Annion, since she's quite grounded compared to the rest of the weirdos that seem to orbit Ichigo.

### Asuka

Speaking of weirdos, Asuka is someone Ichigo really respects. She'd love to be closer friends with Asuka, but he often confuses her. She thinks he's really funny, but he's not often trying.

### Hana Sato

Hana is Ichigo's adopted sister. When Ichigo was 13, she protected a 16 year old Hana against a violent drunk. According to Ichigo, *"She followed me around for three days after that, begging to pay me back. I said I didn't want anything. But she didn't take no for an answer. Eventually, I found out she applied to Sato Corp as a maid."*, after she applied, the pair bonded so well that Ichigo officially made Hana part of the family and had her parents adopt Hana.

### Keal

Ichigo and Keal have a very wholesome, yet dangerous friendship. Ichigo doesn't want to see Keal struggle, so provides him with everything he'll need, but this causes Keal to stagnate. Over the time skip, she is talked into kicking him out. Keal still loves Ichigo.

### Kora

For four months, Kora only heard stories about Ichigo due to her being dead. When she was revived, Kora was very impressed with her fighting prowess and ability to make friends with everyone. Ichigo is usually very nice to people, but she has shown the ability to match Kora's wit and snap back with clever rebutes. Now he respects her more. Ichigo likes Kora, in a way he's one of her cool friends and her family like Kora because Kora knows how to act like a person.

### Kyahan

Ichigo really loves Kyahan! Ichigo has a bunch of respect for Kyahan and desperately wants to be friends with Kyahan, but due to his internalised feelings against Ichigo, their relationship is strained as of the beginning of the Slice of Life phase.

### Megumi

Ichigo and Megumi have a unique rivalry in science. As both of them are scientists, they often try to one up each other. Megumi brings out Ichigo's petty and competitive side, which is rare nowadays. Regardless of that, Megumi is Minato's brother, and he's an important part of her life.

### Minato

Minato is Ichigo's boyfriend. The pair have a special connection that neither of them can truly explain. Despite all their physical and mental accomplishments, the pair seem to admire each other for their personalities. Minato is one of the few men Ichigo had met that didn't just see her as competition or a prize to win. While he may not understand her techno-babble, he admires it and listens anyway. Ichigo loves Minato, but wishes he could be.. a little more romantic and protective of her. Not that she needs it, but it'd be nice, yeah?

### Mizuna

Ichigo holds Mizuna as a true Saiyan, reaffirming her hatred of the species. Mizuna reminds her of Tomazo, but with none of the fear factor. She represents everything wrong with her species, and Ichigo hates that.

### North Kai

Ichigo respects North Kai as a mentor, and takes what he says to heart. He kind of irritates her, but she still respects him regardless.

### Sakui

Ichigo sees Sakui as a representation of elegance and class. Ichigo tried to enter a friendship with Sakui too soon and was too eager, referring to her as *"Sakui-chan."* As Minato's mother, Ichigo has to appear as perfect for him and tries time and time again to impress Sakui, which often fails. Ichigo is at her best with Sakui when Minato isn't an element of the conversation. During Sakui's medical exam, Ichigo remained calm and professional.
