Sakura (Prologue)

Name: Sakura Haruno Sex: Female Birthday: March 28 Height: 148,5cm Weight: 35.4kg Blood Type: O Occupation: Academy student Affiliation: Konohagakure Goal: Pass the Academy and be granted the rank of Genin

Appearance: Sakura has fair skin, green eyes, and elbow-length pink hair that are adorned by a red ribbon. She wears a red qipao dress with short sleeves that has slits along the sides accompanied by a zipper and white circular designs. She also wears tight dark green bike shorts with a shuriken holster around her right thigh, along with the usual blue sandals.

Personality: Sakura typically gives the outward impression of being polite to her superiors, considerate of her peers, and confident in herself. She has occasional moments of bashfulness and competitiveness around peers, but otherwise appears quite collected. She doesn't lie and has no problem telling the truth to her comrades, even if it's a painful one.

This reservation, though never disingenuous, frequently masks how Sakura feels: in certain situations, she has pronounced feelings of frustration and anger. Rather than display these emotions to others, she projects them inward, allowing a manifestation of who she truly is — what is labelled "Inner Sakura" to have the opinions Sakura wants to keep to herself.

Story: Sakura is the only child of Kizashi and Mebuki Haruno. She had a healthy childhood, raised by her parents without any serious tragedy or complications. As a child, Sakura was insecure and highly self-conscious about her large forehead, covering it with her bangs. It was not until she met Ino, who defended her from bullies and became her friend, that she became more self-confident.

Over the following years, Ino's guidance and friendship helped Sakura become comfortable with herself and develop into her own person. Though she felt indebted to Ino for helping her, Sakura began to feel that she was living in Ino's shadow when she, instead, wanted to be Ino's equal. At some point after she entered in the Academy, Sakura met Sasuke Uchiha and she developed a crush on him. When she told her friends, she was surprised to learn how popular Sasuke was with the girls. Sakura heard a rumour of Sasuke being attracted to girls with long hair and she began letting her hair grow to get his attention.

A couple of years later, when she learned Ino had a crush on Sasuke and no longer wanting to be in Ino's shadow, Sakura ended their friendship so that they could compete for Sasuke's love, thus beginning a bitter rivalry between them and their dislike towards each other.

Abilities: Due to her focus on her studies, Sakura lacks any particular combat skill, other than the basic skills she learned in the Academy. She possesses excellent knowledge about history and is determined to master every skill she is taught.
