## Background

Sakura's journey to becoming a successful idol was not without its challenges. In middle school, she decided to become a part of a school idol group with her classmates. Unfortunately, the group was plagued by internal strife and hostility among its members. Despite Sakura's earnest efforts to keep the group together, a bitter falling out eventually led to its disbandment, leaving Sakura disheartened and disillusioned.

For a period of time, Sakura gave up on her idol dreams, believing that she was not cut out for the industry. It wasn't until her first year of high school when she attended a school talent show that her passion for idols was reignited. Witnessing a three-girl group perform an idol song, Sakura was reminded of the joy and magic that being an idol could bring.

Summoning her courage, Sakura approached the girls and expressed her desire to join them in their idol activities. Admittedly, she was a jack of all trades and a master of none, but the other members, Mariya, Anna, and Gin, were Impressed by Sakura's gusto, natural charm, and her willingness to overcome past setbacks. The group welcomed her with open arms, recognizing her potential as a leader. Together, they formed the new idol group Andromeda.

Under Sakura's guidance, Andromeda achieved remarkable success, becoming the first group to win two consecutive Love Live competitions. Their performances captivated audiences with their infectious energy and heartfelt performances. However, when faced with the opportunity to participate in the Love Live competition during their third year, Sakura made a bold decision. Recognizing the group's potential for professional success, she prioritized their growth as a professional idol group, choosing to focus on their career instead of participating in the Love Live.

## Personality

Sakura is a beacon of positivity and kindness, radiating an upbeat and cheerful aura wherever she goes. Her genuine and warm-hearted nature has endeared her to both her fellow group members and fans alike. Despite her sunny disposition, Sakura is known for being a bit of an airhead and a constant snacker, often finding herself lost in her own world of snacks and daydreams.

While Sakura may appear carefree, she is surprisingly tough on herself. These feelings mostly took root when her middle-school idol group disbanded. Occasionally she holds the belief that she lacks the same level of talent as her fellow members in Andromeda, sometimes doubting her own abilities and questioning her role as a leader. Sometimes she sees herself more as a follower than a leader, seeking inspiration and guidance from her fellow members. Despite her self-doubt, Sakura has a natural idol-like charm and unwavering commitment to the group's success and growth.

Nurturing and empathetic by nature, Sakura's instinct is to be a helper and caretaker. She strives to support her group members and anyone in need, always ready to lend a helping hand. In times of turmoil, she empathizes deeply with those around her and goes out of her way to bring comfort and reassurance to those who need it most.

Above all, Sakura treasures her bond with the members of Andromeda. She sees them as her number one inspiration and source of motivation. Their talent and dedication drive her to push herself further, always aiming to improve and reach new heights as an idol. Sakura's unwavering belief in her fellow members and her deep appreciation for their contributions form the foundation of their tight-knit group dynamic.
