1/2
Sakura has short, blonde hair styled with some spiky bangs. She has blue eyes and has a bigger bust than her elder sister when she got older.

Sakura went through multiple outfits, in her debut she wore a black leotard-like battle suit with a deep orange skirt. Starting in TM, her more refined outfit adds additional yellow and makes the orange on her skirt brighter. When Sakura became a teacher, she dropped the skirt but now wore black pantyhoses covering the skin. Older Sakura also has a light skin tan.

### Personality

Sakura is carefree, upbeat and vigorous, but also much more naive and a big airhead at times. Her constant, optimism and support for friends and family is honest and always direct.

Sakura, does enjoy teasing or joke around, specially in the case of her case of romance and unlike her sister, that has given up on the idea, does want to marry at some point. She is lax with housework, which turns her home into a battlefield if her sister isn't around to clean up after her. Sakura would rather drink or plays video games with her friends, most of the time, and this does not change even with higher age. Sakura also is not a morning person and is often pulled out of bed by her older sister.

As a tomboy, she loves the idea of Taimanins being heroes of justice and wishes to protect everybody. Though she acts goofy at times, she gets serious when in fights and can be mature if really called for. As a teacher, she is someone that is easy to deal with and gives her students great and simple advice, she respects her students' accomplishments and would defend them with her own life.

Sakura is obliviously silly and childish a lot of the time, but also very forgiving. Overall, Sakura spreads cheerful vibes where she goes and acts very friendly. She only feels down if she thinks she is a burden to her sister or friends.

### Relationships
