Akira Sakurai

By Azura

• February 22, 2014

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Species: Non-Pony

Appearance: Sakurai is 5'6 in height, she has semi-long and wavy hair, the colour of her hair is brown and her eyes are light brown. Sometimes she ties her hair up before fighting to avoid it getting in the way.<br /><br />She smiles pretty often and her emotions can be seen through by the way she talks and her facial expressions if you look hard enough. There are times where she hides them from others to look tough but she is actually very nice.<br /><br />Her sword isn't anything special, but she treats it like it was a part of her. She could infuse the blade with light poison, turn it icy cold or anything that suits the situation, but she can only use one at a time and it takes a around ten seconds to switch from one to another.

Cutie Mark: N/A

Personality: She's a subtle girl that is usually very outgoing to her friends but to people who she doesn't know or dislikes, she acts rudely, that is if her friends aren't around. Sakurai looks down on people who are either on the same level as her or less skilled people. She isn't someone who could be easily annoyed but when she is, she will become very aggressive.<br /><br />Sakurai is someone who is usually someone who takes her opponents head-on with a tactical yet destructive approach. She always tries her best from getting hit but if she has to block an attack, she doesn't mind. Sakurai strikes when she sees fit either when the enemy is either stunned or really badly damaged. She is very aware of her surroundings and takes advantage of it but sometimes if she's overpowered by an opponent, she'll flee without hesitation.<br /><br />If she thinks that something her allies, teammates or friends are doing something that she knows is wrong or immoral, she'll stop them without a second thought. Even though she's a trustworthy person, she could be a bit sketchy at times but at the end of the day, she will never betray her friends and allies no matter what happens.

Backstory: When Sakurai was around the age of sixteen, she witnessed the death of her loving mother that she spent every loving moment with. She was scarred for life when she saw everything happening before her eyes. She could never forget that very day when her mother's blood was splattered against the walls of her very own house, blood spilling out of her dead corpse.<br /><br />She left and started training with the Zetsumei, in hopes that she could have the ability to protect the people she loved instead of watching everything happen without any power to do anything about it. Sakurai spent countless hours on training. After two years, she was somewhat skilled with the katana, but she had the urge to obtain even more, so she somehow managed to find someone that taught her about magic. <br /><br />A year later, her mystical friend disappeared and was nowhere to be found. She spent weeks looking for him but to no avail. She gave up and now works for the Zetsumei in hopes that she would do some good for the world and to make some close friends and have fun along the way.<br /><br />Since Sakurai is a unique individual and since not a lot of people use both a sword and magic at the same time, she managed to get ranked up to a rather high rank within the Zetsumei and has gotten out of many situations by taking advantage with magic despite the fact that she is indeed less powerful when she fights someone without magic.
