Her hatred from the Uchiha started to blend into other assets of her personality. She often finds herself confiding in books, finding them more worth her time than people. She often has panic attacks and anxiety which could cause her to feel like she is backed against a wall; and she is extremely dangerous when she is backed against a wall.

## History

### Childhood

She was born to a noble family within the Senju Clan and lived a very privileged life with all of the luxury that she could ever ask for. Upon reaching the age of 10, she was forced into learning proper mannerisms of the noble class, tea ceremonies, and other rituals befitting a noble woman. Throughout her training, she was also indoctrinated by members of her family to dislike the Uchiha. She was told of the awful things that the Uchiha had done to the Senju during the Warpath. With each lesson, her distrust and hatred towards the Uchiha grew.

At the age of 12, she was arranged to marry the current Daimyo's son. A cruel and ambitious man, 23 years of age. After the arrangement, she was assigned 3 bodyguards from her future husband to keep her protected and to ensure that she would grow up. While growing up, she desired to play outside with the other kids, however her station disallowed her to participate in the peasantry of 'playing'. She longed and desired to be like normal people and, through her command, she ordered her bodyguards to go with her to the local playground. Ever after many protests, the bodyguards relented and followed her. She was instantly targeted by Uchiha children and bullied; verbally assaulted and pushed around only for the bodyguards to do nothing. Her bodyguards did nothing and allowed her to get beat up by these Uchiha ruffians. Learning her lesson, she returned to her home. Her distrust for the Uchiha and even her future husband's men grew.

She grew up in a life of stale learning of ceremony and politics. All the while, she was constantly used as a bargaining chip and puppet for her father's political needs.

### Adulthood

Upon reaching 18 years old, she would be married to her betrothed. She had to endure the awful treatment from her abusive husband, but while doing so, she got close to his father; the current Daimyo. This would take many years of beatings, but she had learned more than she needed of Daimyo politics from the current Daimyo. Her hatred for her husband overflowed and thought of a plan to rid herself of him. She spent a lot of time in the capital's library and started to read stories of the first Fire Daimyo: Hanzo and the information that she had discovered became a revelation to her. The desire to have what he had and to take control of her own destiny caused the wheels of change to begin turning. Having learned about the Yamanaka being able to create potent poisons, she, under the cover of the night, sneaked out of her estate to meet with some of the capital's less-than-moral apothecary from the Yamanaka clan. She was given a slow-acting poison that would make it appear that her husband would die from heart complications.

After obtaining plenty of this poison, she started to poison her husband every night, in his dinner for the next couple years. When she ran out of poison, she would continue to obtain more and more until it took effect. At the age of 21, her abusive husband passed away from heart complications. Feigning as a bereaved widow, she sought the current Daimyo for comfort; her husband's father. After seducing him, she ended up marrying him. While married to the 72 year old Daimyo, she took this opportunity to learn the art of politics. After learning what she needed, she began to poison the current Fire Daimyo in the same manner that she poisoned her first husband. After the Fire Daimyo passed away, she began to show off her political chops and became quite strong in politics and held the same beliefs that many people wanted to hear. Through public pressure, she was selected to become the next and final Fire Daimyo.

### Time as the Last Fire Daimyo

At the age of 24, she was named as the next Fire Daimyo. The same year, she gave birth to her first and only child, Konaguni Shinji -- the son of the previous daimyo. She was originally a very generous Daimyo. She allowed the usage of Ninjutsu of all kinds and even allowed the more combat-oriented citizens to join her Fire Country Defense Force. She used them to defend the borders that were constantly under assault by the neighboring countries. The usage of Ninjutsu users, however, now served as a much more powerful deterrent to foreign and domestic threats. She would call these soldiers 'Shinobi'.

Unlike her father, she took time to raise her son and was a loving mother, teaching him the way of the world and how to be a great and kind person. Her rule as the Daimyo was generally peaceful until her son was beaten to death by Uchiha children. Her son, Shinji, died at the age of 9 by blunt force trauma. Having heard this news, something inside of her broke and she declared all Uchiha to be a menace and that all Uchiha need to be incarcerated. Incarceration turned to public executions as her mind continued to drift into madness. At the age of 34, Konaguni Sakura was assassinated by her half-sister Senju Misato. Her death was the catalyst of the rise of the shinobi.
