Name: Sakura Izumo (出雲 桜)
Age: 15
Hair color: Jet Black
Eye color: Almond Brown
Height: 1.67 m
Appearance: A tall, willowy, lithe, and modestly endowed Japanese girl with perfectly straight, waist length, shiny jet black hair in a hime cut. Sakura usually dresses in one of two ways: either she wears a pink kimono covered in floral patterns with a green sash across the waist, or she wears an outfit consisting of a single-breasted pink blazer with green notched lapels; white shirt; and black cravat, pleated miniskirt, and white legwarmers, although she may replace the miniskirt with pink trousers and a brown belt if she wants to dress a bit more conservatively.
Biography: Sakura Izumo was born to Baratarou Izumo （出雲 薔薇太郎）, Chairman of the multi-billion dollar Izumo Conglomerate and supernatural exterminator extraordinaire, and his wife Tsubakiko Izumo（出雲 椿子）, a famous enka singer, artist, CEO of Izumo Music, and daughter of the first female Prime Minister of Japan. From an early age, she was groomed and prepared to be the 55th Successor to the illustrious, storied, and ludicrously wealthy Izumo lineage. When she was 5 years old, a traumatic incident would leave a mark on her for years to come: on a family summer outing, the Izumo couple took their daughter out for a nice boat ride. Suddenly, the spirit of the lake, driven insane by the pollution caused by a nearby factory, kidnapped Sakura and nearly drowned her. Baratarou was able to defeat and exterminate the god and rescue his daughter, but the damage was done – Sakura had a fear of water ever since. Other than that, though, she lived an idyllic childhood: had loving parents; was popular at school; did well in academics, sports, and clubs; etc. Upon her graduation from middle school in Japan, Sakura’s parents decided to expand her worldly experiences and sent her to study at St Dymphna’s Academy in America…
Personality: Having been trained at a young age to be a master supernatural exterminator and expert businesswoman, Sakura can come off as being somewhat high-brow at times. However, anyone who knows her knows that she is a warm-hearted, strong person who is always there for her friends. Also, like any Japanese teenager, she finds anything American to be really, /really/ cool.
