"*Blooming for you, right here, right now! I'm Sakurana Luka.*"
– Luka's stage introduction

**Luka Sakurana** *(桜なルカ; Sakurana Ruka)* was a cute-type idol student of Shine Royal Academy and was one of the school's Successors, holding the name **Karen Kamishiro the 9th** (０９代目神城カレン). She was also formerly part of the 16th-19.5th Student Council, taking the role of the Accountant. She is currently the top designer of Classical Ange, having taken over the brand when she succeeded, as well as being the Leader and Main Vocal of Shining!.

She was commonly known as **LuKaren** (ルカレン), **Karen** (カレン), and **Luka** (ルカ).

## Appearance

With one look at Luka, they can definitely say that her style is 'pink-tastic'. She is styled in different shades and tones of pink from head to toe. When asked why she would just say it's a reflex response to her hair.

Luka's go-to look is to style her abundance of hair in a half-up, half-down manner. Taking the topmost layer/section of her hair, she ties that into a high ponytail and has that rest atop the remaining of her hair down. Complimenting her pink hair is her pink eyes, them being a slightly darker shade of pink when compared to her hair. Having a slightly pale complexion makes her hair and eyes pop a bit more on her than on a normal person. She weighs 53kg (117lbs) and is 157cm (5'1") tall.

She doesn't follow any specific fashion trend or line, as long as there's pink she'll use it. She does frequently use other colors such as beige, white, gray, and black to balance out all the pink she uses. However, those colors only tend to appear on her accessories such as outer garments, earrings, shoes, and nail polish.

The tips of her hair were dyed to fade into a blonde in her last year in Shine Royal due to the fact that she had succeeded Karen, but once she graduated, she got rid of the dye. "I enjoyed it while it lasted, but I really just prefer my hair to be one solid color.

Her everyday make-up is just the basics, foundation, primer, lip balm/gloss, mascara, and face powder. She only uses the more potent ones when she has to go to events or it's a special day for her.

## Personality

Luka is generally a rather calm and kind person. She gives off a reposeful vibe and is pretty careful about how people view her. She does have a teasy side to her which she mostly shows to those she is close to. She does, however, have a habit of nit-picking, which she tries to control, but there will always be things which she cannot hold in.

She originally had a slight problem with socializing, but since it came along with the job she got around it in due time. She's now pretty open to most conversations and is rather sociable even if it's the first time one talks to her. Her actions did originally come across as ironic when she had issues with socializing as she was actively helping out people with their needs and due to the fact that she did give off a 'leader-like' vibe.

Luka has almost constantly shown her efforts into community services, such as helping out at shelters, old-folk homes, and even orphanages. She did once state that the reasons behind starting these activities were rather selfish, considering they were to help her overcome her socializing problem, but she continued it in the end since she enjoyed doing it. She has described that these events were in some sense 'killing two birds with one stone'. She still continues to take pockets of time for charity work and other bits and pieces she can do while working about her schedule.

## Idol Activities

### Aura

Luka is surrounded by a dim, coral pink, glow. When the aura first appears, it bursts out with petals of different flowers which later scatter down to the floor. Then comes the effect of wind blowing against the fallen petals and the puff upward every now and then. As the wind effect blows, different sizes of pink-hued pearls are "blown" into the air alongside the petals, however, unlike the petals which float to the floor, the pearls tend to appear and then fade away almost immediately.

When her full aura is activated at the peak of the performance, the glow surrounding her brightens a bit more. The pink-hued pearls then form a scallop-pattern-like-chain around the outer perimeter of her aura and the flowers appear clustered together and are constantly afloat in between the pearl chain and herself.

### Skills

When it comes to the main three skills, vocals, dance, and visuals, Luka excels in the vocals section. Her dancing is rather mediocre, maybe just above average, and while she is beautiful, she's also pretty much considered among average. She has a pretty good vocal range, whereby she can go as high as a B5 and as low as an F2.

Due to her lack in dancing, she does conscientiously put in the effort to go harder on herself when it comes to learning a new choreograph or to recall one of the older ones. She does know what her limits are and pushes herself to either meet or surpass those limits depending on what they are. As she knows very well her dance skills are not the best, she tends to focus a bit more on her singing to hopefully make up for what she can with her vocals instead.

Other skills such as acting, modeling, etc, she can pull off if she must, but she doesn't pay them as much attention as she has not much interest in them. One of the "sub-skills" she does take interest in and works on it would be song/lyric writing, this can be seen through the fact that she writes/composes most of the pieces for Shining!. As such, she does know how to play a few instruments, in specific the guitar, piano, and the electric keyboard.
