Kanato Sakura

*"They'll come for me, and save me. I just need to wait a bit longer."
-Sakura in her cell, waiting for someone to come and save her.*

**Kanato Sakura** is a teenage high school student created by Krimps (AKA TheTwichMan) which debuted in the beginning of the Possession Arc Pt. 2.

## Backstory

Sakura was always a nice and polite girl, always trying to please those around her.

She also was quite gifted in acting, sometimes making it hard to know when she's lying and when she's telling the truth, she's abuse that, always pretending she's alright.

Later on, when she started growing up, she started to think more about herself, her own hobbies, her own goals, and her own life, yet still keeping that love for making others happy.

Koto played a large role in her life, always standing by her, when she moved to Korea due to her father's work, they both talked to each other often, but Koto randomly stopped responding to her calls, which at first made her worried, before giving up and painfully considering him dead.

She didn't let it stop her from doing what she loved, though, since she knew that it's better for her to feel the pain of losing her friend than the opposite, so she started to take vocal practice, dreaming of becoming a K-Pop idol.

Her father quit his job due to how risky it was, so she convinced him to move back to Japan. He agreed, and a week after returning to Japan, she got a call from Koto, asking her to meet him at the park.

After a heart-touching reunion, Koto told her about VoidVerse and showed her the new things he learned, impressed and intrigued, Sakura decided to ask him about visiting the AU, to which he agreed on.

## Profile

### Appearance

Her body is slim and athletic, looking quite healthy. She has brown, waist-reaching hair which she sometimes ties into a ponytail. Due to her combined soul traits, her right eye is light blue and her left eye is bright green. She also tends to wear a set of white headphones with some Pop music on, as well as a yellow rose in her hair.

Sakura regularly wears a light blue skirt paired with a pink shirt that has a white bunny drawn on it when it's warm, as for when it's cold, she tends to wear a blue buttoned up coat paired with a pair of light brown pants and a fluffy pink scarf that's neatly tied around her neck.

The school uniform is a red buttoned up suit with the school emblem with a dark blue tie and white collared shirt underneath, all of which is neatly paired up with a light blue skirt and black thigh-highs.

### Personality

Sakura is a very cheerful and energetic soul, always having a positive outlook on life, yet not in a naïve way, she's fully aware of the troubles in the world, but instead of calling the world a harsh place, she tries to fix it, giving a helping hand to those around her.

There's also a strong sense of curiosity in her, always wanting to learn about new things, and dedicates to them, that's also how she got her singing and violin skills, through sheer perseverance and dedication.

She's also quite easy to fluster, never being the target of flirting or pick up lines, meaning she's quick to blush and stammer when one decides to do so, her reaction to Slayer's flirtatious words are slightly different, as she's mostly used to them, yet they can also sometimes fluster her.

One of Sakura's bad habits is lying about her feelings, often much masking her pain behind a wide smile, one of the few exceptions being when she's in a state of panic, which often come from being revealed to gore and excessive blood, causing her to get nauseous as well as cause trouble with breathing.
