Character Name: Sakura Li
Canon: Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle
Canon Point: Chapter 90, at the end of the Piffle Country arc, before they go to the next world.
Background/History: Here!
Personality:
Sakura is the princess of Clow Country, and lost her memories at the beginning of the manga. However, this version of Sakura is not the original; she’s actually a cloned version of the original Princess Sakura, but unlike Syaoran, both her body and heart were cloned.
In the beginning, Sakura spends a lot of time sleeping and is quiet and more reserved; a result of her scattered memories. Over time, she begins to regain more of her personality as more of the feathers of her memories are gathered, and as a result becomes much more cheerful and open.
Sakura is selfless, kind-hearted, friendly and compassionate, and this can be seen even early on while she’s without most of her memories. She worries about her other travelling companions despite not knowing them well at first, and regrets not being able to do much to regain her own memories. She wants to help in any way she can, and her selflessness causes her to feel bad that she can’t collect her feathers for herself.
Sakura also becomes more strong-willed and determined as their journey progresses. Even though there’s a limit to how much she can do to help, she tries her best to assist her companions. This is best seen in the Piffle Country arc, where she enters the race and pushes herself forward—even though she’s last for the majority of the race, she keeps going and ends up winning. Sakura dislikes being a burden to other people, and so resolves to support the others in any way she can. This also happens earlier on in the Jade Country arc, where she follows the child into the snow, and later on where she insists on going with Syaoran and Kurogane while Fai stays behind.
Overall, Sakura has a big heart. She’s very grateful to those who have helped her, and forms connections with people quickly. Her greatest connection is with Syaoran (well, Clone Syaoran); even though she doesn’t remember their childhood together, she grows closer to him and falls in love with him all over again. Sakura seems intuitive when it comes to Syaoran, as she can tell when he’s upset or hiding something to make it easier on her. However, her compassion leads her to worry about him even more.
Sakura also has a strong bond with her other travelling companions, Fai and Kurogane. While Fai jokingly refers to himself and Kurogane as the parents and Sakura and Syaoran as “their children”, this description is pretty much true. Sakura spends a lot of time with Fai and becomes very close to him; as Kurogane notes later on, they are quite similar in some ways. They’re both outgoing and cheerful at this point (at least outwardly, in Fai’s case) and can relate to each other. Sakura and Kurogane have less interaction, but Sakura does consider him an important person, and admires him.
Kurogane, at one point, says “because she’s strong, she’s fragile”. This is a true enough statement—Sakura is fragile in many ways, and her determination is so great that she would keep going with her journey and her goals even at harm or risk to herself. Especially if it was to protect the people important to her.
All in all, Sakura is an upbeat and caring person, who likes to do whatever she can to help and help those in need around her. While she is often shunted into the damsel role earlier on, she grows because of this, and becomes determined enough to want to stand on her own feet outside of that. Regaining her memories and going on the journey has helped her to become stronger while also restoring more of her cheerful and kind-hearted personality.
Abilities/Powers:
Sakura has a few different abilities, as she is noted to have very powerful magical power. The original Sakura was a candidate for priest of Clow Country, and clone Sakura shares her abilities.
First off, she sometimes has prophetic dreams of the future; the power of a “dreamseer”, which several other characters in Tsubasa similarly have. She can also understand the “feelings” of things that aren’t alive, like water or tornadoes. This ties in with her ability to see the spirits of people who have died, and even communicate with them in some cases. Lastly, Sakura has unnaturally good luck, and has been called “a favoured daughter of the gods”. This good luck is what helps the team get through sticky situations, most of the time.
Items/Weapons: Just her outfit, which at this point is the one in this picture. http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/674/117102-tomoyo_and_sakura_2.jpg
Sample Entry:
[ Is it a bird? Is it a pla… no, it’s just some tiny girl with wings stuck to the back of her clothes. She wakes up blearily at first… then sits straight up, alarmed. ]
— Ah!? Oh no, did I fall asleep again!? I wanted to stay awake to see where we ended up this time!
Where is everyone…? [ Frantically, she looks around. Finally she spots the battered cell phone. ] This looks like something from Piffle Country… I wonder, did we arrive somewhere else with technology like it?
[ She plays around with the cell phone for a little while, before she realises it’s been broadcasting all this time. ] Oh… oh!
Um! Hello. [ She smiles. ] If anyone can hear me… I’m very sorry for troubling you. My name is Sakura, and I think I must’ve been separated from the people I was travelling with. I’m wondering if anyone’s seen… well, there’s a boy with brown hair and eyes! His name is Syaoran. He’s about this tall. [ She indicates a height a little above herself. ]
Then there’s Fai… he’s a lot taller, and he’s blonde with blue eyes. Oh, and Kurogane! He’s the tallest, with black hair and red eyes. And … um… an animal like a stuffed toy, but Mokona can talk.
In case people are too busy to respond… I’ll go and look for myself. But thank you for listening, if you had time to. I hope you have a good day.
[ Another smile, and she manages to turn the video recording off. ]
Sample Entry Two:
Sakura made her way through this new world, holding out hope for any sign of the others. She didn’t know if there were any feathers in this world, not without Mokona there, and it seemed… strange somehow. Everything was so desolate here. There were a few other people milling around, but from what she’d heard, they’d all come from somewhere else. Sakura might not have remembered everything yet, but she knew that was out of the ordinary.
She hoped the others were all right. In a world like this one… she didn’t want any of them to get into trouble. After getting the feather back herself in Piffle Country, she wanted to keep helping out. She wanted to keep being useful, in a way that wasn’t just washing dishes or motivating the others. She’d do more than that—as much as she could. So, first things first, she’d make sure she found everyone else herself.
And Syaoran-kun will be worried about me…
Sakura didn’t want him to worry anymore, especially not over her. They were making good progress, after all. She didn’t know how many feathers were left, but maybe she’d remember eventually. In the meantime, they’d keep travelling, and she was sure one day she’d remember that person missing from her past, too. And maybe one day she’d tell Syaoran that… well…
Sakura shook her head free of those thoughts. She found an abandoned store nearby and picked her way through the debris. There were a few battered cans of food, and so far, Sakura hadn’t seen any fruit or vegetables anywhere. So she picked up a few of the cans, holding them close to her chest; enough to feed the four of them and Mokona. That was something she could do, at least, until she found them.
She headed back out into the street, hoping the others hadn’t strayed too far.
