1/7 Sasori Leyroad 「杜楼努蠍, Leyroad Sasori」 is one of the many deuteragonists of Starry Knights.

Sasori is the upcoming King of Florin ever since his father died of a mysterious illness, an old country island on the sea, however, some of his people have been disappearing over the span of several months. It's Kida, Jungkook, and Eden's duty to see what they can do to help his people. Sasori holds the title for, "The White Rose of Pride." Seeing how Sasori only cared for him without regards to others.

## Appearance

Sasori is considered handsome amongst his people and everyone around him, with reddish-brown hair in a topknot and purple eyes. He does cut his hair sorter though, when he leaves his kingdom as a meaning of disownment, seeing it as a way to leave things behind.
Leaving it in a somewhat long, but shorter shaggy brown hair, sometimes it's neat and styled when he had the strength to do so and isn't lazy enough to just leave it like a mop on his head.

Sasori has purple eyes, some say they even "sparkle" at night because of his ability to see in the dark from training himself as a child, whenever he'd get lost as a child in the mountains. Since he didn't ever like being at home, Sasori enjoyed just hiking the mountains and conversing with the local oni.

Sasori isn't fond of wearing his traditional clothing he's made to wear at the kingdom as his role of the prince, he usually likes to wear a loose red, gray, and orange top and green hakama with a kind of white bandaging around his calves. He much rather likes to wear his Western-styled clothing, something in burgundy pants, and a lighter color jacket with a thin white shirt underneath when he's blended in with the other people of his kingdom. Sasori happens to wear this attire during missions as well, but at home, he lingers around in loose kimonos.

Sasori is known for his "Cheshire" like the expression, being the king of a poker face, no one really knows what his intentions are because he's not one to show his expressions on his sleeve. Sasori is almost always either laughing at someone else's demise as he teases them to the high heavens or he's just too caught up in his own thing. Sasori is a man of his own words, never too cocky or overconfident.

In his Oni state, Sasori's eyes turn red while his hair grows a pale white. His irises become blown out.

## Personality

Sasori has a charming if somewhat sadistic personality and is mighty fond of sarcasm. Half of the time, none of the other Roses take him too seriously because they can never read his true intentions. He's known for how charming he can be, though at the time, often saying and getting whatever he wants by a matter of mere words; mere sweet talk. He enjoys pulling pranks on the other Roses members with Robin, especially on Karna & Eden since they're the easiest targets.

As much as he tries to hide it, most of the time with either his teasing and blunt rudeness, Sasori is a good-natured fellow seems to be the type of person who likes to keep important information to himself, just to see what happens, but he won’t hesitate to jump in to save someone from his land. He also speaks without a filter, which often leads him in fights with Ikuto or Henry, but happens to be one of the sharpest amongst the Roses. Always nearly on his toes, no one ever getting the best of him.

Due to his care-free nature, Sasori has no interest in being King, because he knows a "King" can only save the kingdom from just a throne and nothing more. He wants to actually help his people from pain and sorrow, on the front lines.

Sasori likes to drink heavily though because he likes to have his own fun, and it makes his stomach feel full. Often enjoying one with Oz, Tsubasa, or Lavi, but he likes asking Kida to join when none of the other boys are around to bother him about it. Kida is the best to tease when she's drunk since she's too "cute". Sasori has manners though, usually just tucking her into bed as he'd either sleep peacefully next to her or go on a walk.

When it comes to his feelings towards Kida, he's one of the Rose's at is the most obvious about it. Often teasing her about her looks for the day, calling her "pretty" or lightly patting her bum whenever he's near or just happening to pass by.

Sasori has a tough skin too, often laughing at Robin or Ikuto when they try to make smart remarks at him, easily challenging them to a duel if they dare try him anymore; Sasori easily beating them in a sword match or the like. Sasori claims nothing hurts his feelings, though, he was once hurt and showed anger for once when Kida slapped him for trying to help her.

Sasori has an odd knowledge of old things as well; like noting certain things about animals or knowing certain country polities by heart.

* Sasori's signature ability, he can only use for a short amount of time because it takes too much of his Reiastu, thus, he can only use it in extreme measures.
* Sasori merges with Drake into something of a buzzing and vibrant thunderbolt. Transforming his own body into electricity, turning himself into a lightning bolt, whose size can vary from mere, fast-moving sparks to large pillars of lightning. Though when he's standing still, Sasori's body is clearly engulfed in an electrical surge of white lightning. In which, the only thing is depictable is his eyes, facial features, the silhouette of his clothing and the red markings that show up below his eyes.
* This also allows Sasori to let physical and magical attacks pass harmlessly through his body when he's transformed, this form also grants him some traits typical of real lightning: he's shown capable of freely moving around at high speed and to travel over long distances, rapidly appearing at his destination from places away from sight as though as he was teleporting, as well as to electrocute everything crossing his path, with the voltage of his bodily electricity being high enough to wreak havoc throughout a large airship.
* He generates lightning in his mouth and releases it in a concentrated, destructive blast, capable of destroying everything in a wide area in front of him. The special effect of this attack, aside from the high damage it causes, is that, even if the target survives, the lightning paralyzes them to a degree, leaving them numb, but usually, this terminates any enemy it's used on. Though after this use, Sasori will faint for a while.
