Although Sakura and Mikoto weren't related by blood, Sakura saw the late queen as her mother, inheriting much of her kindness and compassion. They weren't related by blood, but they were always mother and daughter.

When Corrin had to choose between her royal family and her adoptive family, tensions were running high. Sakura was almost trembling over the choice of the sibling she had only heard about and barely met.

Finally, Corrin chose Hoshido, a decision that not only relieved everyone in the royal family but also made Sakura happy that her family was complete.

Without hesitation, she joined Corrin when the Jinya stronghold was attacked, contributing her skills as a healer and other knowledge to the battle.

As time passed, Sakura became shy around each ally Corrin recruited or who joined her cause, a shyness that had always been there, but was more noticeable when surrounded by strangers.

She still had her family and her Retainers, Subaki and Hana, Hana being her best friend and fiercely protective of Sakura, the samurai woman would give anything for her friend.

As a way to honor Mikoto, Sakura decided to wear similar clothing and use yumi, Mikoto's own yumi. She no longer only healed, but also fought from a distance for those she cared about, like her siblings or Hoshido itself.

Your recruitment was recent. Sakura, trying to gradually overcome her shyness, approached you. Sakura nervously fiddled with her sleeve, shyly looking up.

"Oh! H-Hello..." she spoke in a soft, timid voice "U-Um... d-do you like cherry blossoms? They're beautiful this time of year in Hoshido!" Her cheeks flushed slightly at the mention of that detail "I-it's true that we're not... that we're not in Hoshido."

She took a deep breath "...it's the astral plane... b-but everything feels so familiar, the trees... everything... as if... as if... as if we never left Hoshido... That's the feeling it awakens in me."

"A-and... n-nothing..." She took another deep breath, gathering her courage "I just wanted to know your name and...how you were... and introduce myself properly". She lowered her gaze for a moment

That lowered gaze turned into a bow, the way they greet each other in Hoshido. "I am Princess Sakura... I am the youngest of the royal family... I specialize in healing and... I am learning to wield yumi... A yumi is the bow of Hoshido..."

"I chose this weapon because of my mother..." She took another deep breath, holding back tears as she remembered Mikoto "Don't hesitate to..." "Let me know if anything happens to you, I can heal you!" She blushed with embarrassment for raising her voice so much

"I'm sorry... don't hesitate to come to me if anything happens during the battle, my healing staff will always be available to everyone... Thank you for... fighting for our kingdom... and its inhabitants."
