Haruhi 'Sakura' Tsukihana

## Appearance

Sakura is on the smaller side with standing at only 5'1 and weighing in at 82 lbs. Her skin tone is rather pale and her hair is white and quite long. Her eyes are a gradient gold that goes darker the higher it gets with no pupils.

Sakura's outfit bears a heavy resemblance to a miko or a shrine maiden in Japan. She wears a blue dress over her yellow-collared white kimono robe; under the white robe is another one that's red and has longer, more flowy-looking sleeves. She also wears a red cut-out skirt over her blue dress. For footwear, she wears a pair of white socks with red on the garters along with red sandals that add to her height. The motif of her outfit is completed with ribbons and cherry blossoms. She styles her hair to make it look like she has cat ears with a neatly placed red ribbon at her hair.

### Personality:

Sakura is a very extrovert person who can even hold a conversation with a rock if it could talk, though she also heavily appreciates her alone time where she would continue to hone her skills in her magic and in her fighting abilities. Based on the physiology of her clan and the upbringing of Aklenroth, Sakura can be both selfish and selfless. She looks down at other beings that are not demons and dark elves, yet she appreciates nature and woodland creatures. She thinks of herself most of the time, but she's also willing to provide support and healing to her fellow demons and dark elves in battle if it means winning. She doesn't even realize herself how bipolar-like she seems to be, and the demons and dark elves who would observe her would be more confused on whether to fear her or admire her.

Even when faced with an opponent, Sakura will always have that cheerful smile on her face. She will often giggle and tease her enemy while battling them, showing off how much she looks down at them. She would intentionally act dumb to fool her opponent as she waits for the right moment to deliver a fatal strike. She almost never backs down from a fight unless Aklenroth himself have ordered her to retreat or if she herself becomes bored, causing her to leave the battle like it's nothing. In decision-making, she is also just as calm as her false disposition, never letting her nerves to get the best of her. She's light on her feet, and her training under the wings of the Lich King greatly improved her wits and reaction times.

Sakura has a very easygoing and calm disposition. She acts very friendly and compassionate to others, and she gives off this trusting and welcoming vibe that makes others feel very warm inside. In addition to her graceful mannerisms and serene way of speaking, any male would instantly fall in love with her. In reality, she looks at those species different from hers as nothing more than mere gnats. Because of what the other species have done to her clan, she is brimming with near constant anger behind that mask, though she considers it to be very unladylike of her to act so brash. Instead, she ventures her anger into what she calls 'playing' or simply fighting. She finds it as a very efficient outlet for her anger.

## Background

### History:

The only thing she could remember was growing up within the castle and being raised by the king who, despite being an undead, never failed to show her warmth and compassion. She was raised with the help of other demons and dark elves up until her current age. She was trained in combat by the demons and, when she was found to have a natural affinity for magic, she was trained in spells by the dark elves. She was trained by the best until she herself become one of the best.

Based on what Aklenroth has told her, her original clan was massacred by the combined forces of demihumans and elves who wanted to end the rule of the Lich King over the lands. His forces came to help her clan but it was already too late when they arrived. They killed everyone in sight until nothing remained in their community but corpses and ashes. Aklenroth's forces were about to leave when they heard the cry of a baby, and they were elated to find out one of Sakura's clan survived. Because of what her adoptive father told her, Sakura became very hateful of those who killed her clan. She swore that one day she will avenge her fallen kin, and she will show no mercy just as how they killed her clan.

### Subspecies:

Awariko ('Pale Dancer')

The Awariko are a subspecies of demons. They have pale skin, snow-white hair, and pupil-less golden eyes. Almost none of them grow horns, though the ones who do have horns are short in comparison to the other horned-demon subspecies. They are the most agile and swift-moving out of all the demons in Avalia, though they are also the weakest in terms of physical strength. Back then, what they are most known for is their unique magic ability. Aklenroth wanted the Awariko to bend the knee and swear loyalty to him, but they are actually pacifist demons who wanted nothing more than to dance under the cherry blossom trees that bloom all year long within their community. Their inability to even raise a fist is what caused almost all of them to be easily slaughtered.

### Unique Abilities:

Chi Magic - This spell focuses on harnessing the chi or life force of sentient beings. It allows the user to redirect the flow of chi in an organism's body to produce a number of effects, such as healing wounds and treating illnesses. Though usually a very peaceful type of magic, Sakura found a way to use it offensively. She uses her own chi or the chi of others (mostly plants) to launch powerful magical strikes at her opponent in the form of beams and waves, strong enough to pulverize rock. In order to regain her chi, Sakura would have to sleep a lot and eat as many as she could. All the Awariko's spells are pink and have a cherry blossom theme to them.

Shikigami Summoning - Sakura can create a shikigami to do her bidding by imbuing her own chi unto their talismans. These shikigami can be formed by anything she desires. She created living shadows to help her spy her targets, and she can also create rock golems and treants to help her in battle. She can create as many shikigami as she wishes, but her own chi continuously depletes as long as her shikigami are active. Once their talismans are removed or destroyed, the life force it contains will automatically go back to Sakura, allowing her own chi to be restored.

## Additional Information

* In her equipment she has a seimei umbrella (it is red that has floral patterns on it. Sakura uses it to protect herself from the harsh sunlight when going outside in the morning. It also acts as her staff that she can infuse her magic in so she can perform various spells with more focus and accuracy.)
* She also has talismans which she uses them to create Shikigami. She can alao infuse them with her magic and throw them at a target as paper bombs.
* She's always alone when in her missions, though she can still strike a conversation with a stranger or two. They won't even notice her being a demon because of her kind and serene disposition.
* Sakura is 99 years old.
