Sakura

Princess of Hoshido who is a gentle healer. Struggles with her shyness. Appears in Fire Emblem Fates. Name: Sakura Gender: Female Race: Human Birthday: April 9 Relatives: Sumeragi (Father), Ikona (Mother), Mikoto (Step-Mother), Ryoma (Oldest Brother), Hinoka (Older Sister), Takumi (Older Brother), Corrin (Step-Sibling), Azura (Adopted Sister), Shiro (Nephew), Kiragi (Nephew) Occupation: Princess of Hoshido Weapon: Staff </Personal Information> Sakura is a short young girl with light skin, pink short hair and orange eyes. Her attire is similar to a shrine maiden's Outfit. She wears a red and white dress with gold accessories on them, a white and red cape draped on her shoulders, a white and red hairband with a gold pin on it, white long socks and red sandals. Shy and timid by nature, Sakura is very polite to others but is prone to stuttering during her conversations, a fact that becomes especially prominent when she is nervous. She tends to be very easily intimidated when confronted with unfamiliar situations existing outside her comfort zone. These traits of hers particularly stand out when she is compared alongside her older siblings, all of whom are relatively more confident, self-assured and sanguine. Complementing her shy demeanor is a heart of compassion and kindness, a fact that has led to her devoting her life towards the cause of providing healing aid to others in order to alleviate their suffering. Her gentle demeanor and benevolent heart makes her the best at healing out of everyone in the army.

Hidden beneath the folds of Sakura's meekness is a strong will, one that emerges when she is tried by situations that threaten to endanger the lives of her loved ones. This fact is best exemplified through her actions in Chapter 25 of Birthright, where she stops Iago from ruining Azura's song to free Takumi from his spells and in Chapter 22 of Conquest; although she clearly possesses a disdain for warfare and harbors no desire to attack her sibling, she resolves to personally take up arms against them nevertheless for the sake of defending her homeland from their invasion. This applies out of battle as well, as she can be surprisingly fierce when pressured, snapping her staff in half with her bare hands out of pure frustration with Azama and even hitting him with it.

Sakura suffers from survivor's guilt in regards to Corrin's abduction. In their A-Support conversation, she reveals to Corrin that shortly after their kidnapping, she overheard a couple of servants mention a rumor that she was supposed to be the actual target. Since Sakura was extremely young when she heard this, she was not aware it was just a rumor and took it as fact, causing her to believe it was her fault her dear sibling was taken. She was slightly shy when reuniting with them years later, but like her other siblings, she wishes to reestablish a relationship with them and readily joins their cause in both Birthright and Revelations.

One curious quirk is her love of candy, which is to the point where she admits to have little self-control, as in her supports with Hayato she eats a large amount of red bean mochi with incredible speed, and the Beach Brawl DLC has her quickly change her mind about the contest when she learns the island has lots of sweets. Sakura is the youngest daughter of Sumeragi and Ikona and the youngest child of four in the Hoshidan royal family. According to Ryoma, shortly after her birth, her parents named her after a cherry blossom tree that bloomed beautifully every spring. Originally having another sibling in Corrin, Sakura lost them when they were kidnapped as a young child and raised in Nohr. Rumors spread throughout the castle that Sakura was supposedly the original target, but Ryoma had denied these notions to her. Still, this event had an effect on her personality, making her meek and timid. Sakura uses staffs as her weapon.
