Sakura Ijuin

Gender: Female
Age: 11 ½
Ethnicity: Japanese/German
Hometown: Unknown
Affiliation:Neutral
Purity: Impure
Personality: Sakura is rather mischievous, she doesn’t look at people with a sense of excitement but more as someone she could fool around with and prank. Although she has an innocent, more childish side to her that she rarely reveals to others, she displays this more when there is no one around. She is a bit immature for her age, and can throw either a temper tantrum or get very angry, when people don't fall for her pranks, but does demonstrate some maturity when a situation demands it.

She likes to stalk people who caught her eyes, but also tends to act very quietly and cautiously, not running headlong into a conflict when she is thinking clearly.

Magic Type: Runology
Active status: Active

Abilities

Primary Ability: Curorious Bow

  • The Curorious Bow is an item passed down through Sakura’s family, it is an item that also includes an encyclopedia of knowledge that she can access when she wields the Bow. However, the Bow’s knowledge is cryptic to the point that she must often times think hard on what she is being shown in order to effectively use the Bow.
  • Gravity Manipulation – the Bow allows Sakura to control and manipulate gravity, permitting her to reduce or increase it by a few magnitudes. Her ability to control gravity is related directly to her willpower and her concentration. This power has the potential of going out of control.
    • Activation Key: Μπορεί ο αέρας να σταματήσει να κινείται, το σώμα παύει για να αυξομειώνονται, μπορεί ο ουρανός μου ακούει εντολές και το έδαφος σαλπάρουν με δικά μου λόγια.
      • Translation: May the air cease to move, the earth cease to fluctuate, may the sky hear my commands and the ground heave at my words.
    • Gravity Manipulation Capabilities - All abilities associated with the controlling or manipulating of gravity currently have negative effects on Sakura's body, use with caution
      • Gravitational Collapse (Επιτάχυνση βαρύτητας κατάρρευση) - the ability to collapse gravity around a single object, this creates a miniature gravity implosion that forces objects toward the center before blowing them outward. - This is currently a hard to control manipulation and thus is unstable

Secondary Ability: Runology

  • Sakura can craft rune’s thanks to the knowledge she’s glimpsed in the Bow, while she can craft basic runes using just her hand, more advanced runes require her to actually draw them using the tip of the bottom of her Bow or using the tip of her arrows. Her form of runology however is different from the norm, she’s in another branch known as ‘Strata Runology’, essentially this type of runology is practically the same as the normal, except that the runes can be drawn in mid-air using a Bow, arrow, or some other magically imbued object. She can create her own runes, but the process is time consuming and very dangerous.
  • Base Runes; the types of runes determine what the rune does, but combining one or more can result in a different kind of effect, but also can result in more instability. Combining three or more is very risky
    • Partially Learned Runes, these are runes that Sakura only has a partial grasp of, she can use them, but not to their full effectiveness. They have a high likelyhood of failing though.
      • Fly - Allows a person to fly for a limited amount of time in one location.
      • Air - Creates an air rune that can be used to change the direction of the wind.
      • Electricity - Creates a field of electricity or a ball of electrify.
      • Seal - Seal is a rune that works in similar function to a binding spell, it locks a person in place and forbids them from moving for a short period of time.
      • Slice - A rune used specifically for cutting through objects, the harder the material, the more runes needed.
      • Heal - A rune designed to rejuvenate the wounds of a person.
      • Sickness - A rune designed to inflict various types of sickness.
    • Learned, these are runes that Sakura knows and can use effectively. They have a low likelyhood of failing, but can still fail.
      • Fire - Creates a fire rune that can burn a small area.
      • Water - Creates a water rune that materializes water.
      • Cracker - A rune that creates a shower of sparks and loud noises, used mainly for fooling people.
    • Combined Runes, Combined runes are runes that Sakura combines to achieve different effects. The amount of risk behind combining depends greatly on whether it is a Learned, or Partially Learned Rune. These Runes are added as discovered…
      • Water+Electricity - Creates a field of water that is electrified, lasts for a short period of time.
      • Water+Fly - Creates a Water Tornado, or Water Spout.

Limitations: Because Sakura is a child she does have some issues with control, while wielding the Bow and controlling gravity, she can often times lose control and injure herself in the process or even those around her. Plus, she isn’t yet intelligent enough to fully decipher what the Bow shows and tries to tell her, so a lot of the higher level runes are a mystery to her.

How powers were granted: Sakura gained her power both by being born with the ability to use runes, but also because the Bow was given to her by her older sibling shortly before she disappeared.

Power level: 40

History

Sakura is a young girl born in Japan, but raised in Germany. When she was three years old she moved to Germany to live with her grandparents, her mother and father sending her away due to concerns and reasons that they never told her about. She lived on a farm with her grandparents for two years before she went back to Japan with her grandmother to visit her parents, during her time their her parents went back with her to Germany.

However, tragedy struck her family when the plane they were on encountered mysterious troubled and crashed. Sakura barely survived the crash, but her grandmother and parents did not. Her grandfather, who took her in initially, died later in the year from heartbreak. She was shuffled around from orphanage to orphanage, upon reaching the age of eight she was taken from the orphanage she was at by her older sister.

Her older sister revealed that her parents sent her away because they didn’t want her to become one of them, Sakura didn’t fully understand what her older sister had meant until she was shown a rune that could freeze the ground around it. These runes fascinated her, but before she could learn more, her big sister and her were beset upon by men of a questionable background.

Fearing for the safety of Sakura, her older sister sent her away, but not before entrusting her with several family heirlooms. One of those items was a bow, used by her family for ages past that allowed her to create and draw runes but also contained visions of previous wielders.

The other was a manuscript known as Akim, an item passed down through her family for the sole purpose of teaching a person not only how to use the bow but also how to comprehend the images and messages within. Akim is a teaching tool, while the bow is the tool to be taught.

She fled her sister’s home, located in the western part of Germany, and spent a few short months alone and without family or anyone she could trust, living off what she could find in the wilderness and traveling via her own means between cities. After four months, she returned to Japan to live with a relative of the family who owns a Shrine, but this relative she quickly learned was rarely around, preferring instead to do things other than raising her but has also managed to hide her from the government.

She's been forced to maintain the Shrine property almost by herself, but this kind of treatment along with the lack of attending school, resulted in her becoming rather callous of the world around her and quickly lead her down the path of being a mischievous and often times a cruel person and enjoys playing pranks.
