Backpack Contents:
Sakura's prize possession, her Electric Guitar. A Gibson Les Paul Custom Chambered Blackout in Stallion Red — usually kept in its guitar case.
A guitar that signifies Sakura taking her life in her own hands and rebelling against her parents who doted on her every will and were exceptionally over-protective.

Digivice:
Sakura's Digivice is a lot smaller than a normal Xros Loader. Although, it works exactly the same way. Currently, she keeps it safely hung on a belt loop for easy access. 

Personality:
Sakura is a serious, straight-faced, calm sort of individual. Not to mention, she is also calm and able to think things out without rushing ahead. She’s great at structuring and following plans and enjoys planning things. As a result of her upbringing, Sakura struggles to trust in people, especially overly kind individuals. Although, she is very protective of her friends and would protect them to the ends of the earth.

Although, in the face of the unknown, such as the Digital World – Sakura treats it as something to be wary of and not to take the place too lightly. Sometimes, without meaning too, Sakura can be a little harsh or abrasive with how she speaks, especially if she is made to be angry. Often, Sakura keeps her problems to herself and brushes off help from others as to not worry or bother them. However, while she may appear cold and detached, the warmer side to her is best seen in her quiet fondness towards her closest friend, Mikasa. She tends to not be in the habit of not expressing his needs and feelings finds himself in situations throughout his life where she feels overshadowed, overlooked, or even stepped over by others. She is highly practical, although cynical by nature. She holds people she cares for at arm's length even her own parents.

One of her main weaknesses are cooking, which she cannot do to save her life, she would burn cereal if it was possible. She also deeply dislikes how overprotective her parents are to her, almost embarrassingly so and wishes they’d just trust her. This leads her to run away from home to find adventure.

Appearance:
Sakura keeps her hair in a short bob, that falls just above her chin, styled in short bangs, partially tucked to one side. The front right lock of hair that runs down her face is dyed crimson red.
Originally, she had long, waist length brown hair, until she decided to rebel against her parents and cut it short and dyed it. Her face is fairly thin and distinct in appearance, causing most to focus on her sharp eyes, which are a piercing bright pink-red colour.

Her clothing choices are often very dark, simple and edgy but fitting to her rebellious sort of look. Sakura’s main outfit consists of a consists of a black T-shirt with a crimson thunderbolt graphic with a stud lining around the top.  Often worn over a red tank top, along with ripped denim shorts and red-and-black boots. She also wears a choker in the shape of a padlock and matching bracelets on her wrist.

Personal History:
Sakura was born in Shibuya, Japan with her overly caring but generally loving parents but as an only child. Sakura was a sickly child and was often ill and this led her already doting parents to become a lot more overbearing. Her parents were, however, quite close to their only daughter, maybe too much so.

They’d barely allow Sakura to do anything on her own and doted to her, which only proved to frustrate her immensely. She was homeschooled for her entire childhood years, taught by tutors in all subjects, including music classes in classical guitar and piano. Also, she was never allowed to leave on her own, or without someone watching her.

Although on occasion, she was able to slip away out of her window and explore Shibuya unabated. During this dash to freedom, Sakura met a new friend, Sachika Misawa and they became quick friends – often meeting up each time – Sakura secretly escaped. However, this was stopped when she was discovered missing and the police were called. Misawa was blamed by Sakura’s parents for stealing their daughter away. Once brought back home, she was put under even greater watch.

Slowly, Sakura grew exceedingly tired of the treatment, she was forced to bare, and decided to run away in the middle of the night. Just so she could get some freedom. She left and temporarily lived with the friend, she had met who lived alone in a tiny apartment. Sakura got herself emancipated and finally lived on her own, with her own rules. With newfound freedom in her hands, she cut her hair and dyed it black, to signify her rebellion and change, took up electric guitar and became a rocker and finally joined an actual college, instead of being homeschooled – alongside Misawa. With Misawa, she created her own band called Rebel Soul then joined a J-Rock club at the college to further her interest and talents in the subject.
