```

Sasori is the upcoming King of Florin, 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. 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, seeing it as a way to leave things behind. Leaving it in a shaggy brown hair, sometimes it's neat and styled when he had the strength and isn't lazy enough to do so.

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.

Sasori isn't fond of wearing his traditional clothing he's made to wear at the kingdom, he usually wears 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 white shirt underneath when he's blended in with the other people of his kingdom.

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 easily.

## Personality

Sasori has a charming if somewhat sadistic personality and is fond of sarcasm. He's known for how charming he can be, often saying and getting whatever he wants by a matter of mere words. 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 teasing and 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 of his land. He also speaks without a filter but happens to be one of the sharpest amongst the Roses.

Due to his nature, Sasori has no interest in being King, because he knows what a "King" can only save the kingdom from just a throne, he wants to actually help his people from pain and sorrow.

Sasori likes to drink heavily though, because he thinks its 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.

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, or lightly patting her bum whenever he's near.

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

Though after this use, Sasori will faint for a while.
