"I almost died every day. I always looked at myself in the mirror, wanting to die.
But I was scared of dying, and didn't want to disappear by myself."
NAME NICKNAME GENDER AGE CLAN ALIGNMENT | Sakura Matou Black Grail Female 18 None Neutral Evil |
APPEARANCE | PERSONALITY |
Sakura possesses shoulder-length white hair which forms bangs just over her forehead, some of it reaching slightly down her chest and back. While her skin is fair, it bears numerous red tattoos which appear to span across her body, similarly to how lightning may leave peculiar patterns upon one's skin when struck. These markings can be seen on her hands and feet, and reaches around her left cheek. Her eyes bear a crimson color, the trauma she underwent throughout all of her childhood and many teen years causing them to fade slightly. Sakura wears a dark brown dress with a turtleneck collar, bearing red stripes which stretch down to her knees. The dress begins to split into different sections at around her waist, forming coattails which flair out in all directions, appearing similar to ribbons made of a smooth silk. When in an emotional state, her chakra forms a reddish-black aura, and the distorted faces of screaming men, women and children begin to appear around her. | Sakura is a complex individual, largely due to the abuse she'd suffered as a child after adoption into the Matou family. Having finally broken, the negative emotions she had harboured over the years becoming too much to handle, Sakura has become particularly malicious and cruel, operating without any real moral compass. Crippled by the depressive thoughts born from her inferiority complex, the lack of self-value brought upon by her brother and grandfather, and the solitude of being a victim without any form of guidance or assistance, she has transformed into an individual who behaves with no regard for the feelings, thoughts or wellbeing of others. Though, it isn't accurate to say that she intentionally behaves in a way that violates others, but rather, she is totally indifferent to virtually everything around her, moving through the world in the same way a plane flies on autopilot, but without any destination. |

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Chapter I: Childhood
Sakura Matou was born into the Tohsaka household as Sakura Tohsaka in the Water Archipelago, a family who practiced the art of performing Ninjutsu through objects such as jewels and crystals; jewel magecraft, as they called it. Her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, was a magus of particularly high standing, having elevated the Tohsaka household to the point of being considered as one of the Three Noble Families. The other two were the Einzbern, and the Matou family. Sakura was the result of an attempt at strengthening the relationship between the Tohsaka and Matou family, her mother being a Matou. It was from the maternal line that Sakura inherited the power of the Matou family; Dark Release. Before the age of 7, Sakura was willingly relinquished by Tokiomi, as he believed that raising two children to inherit all the secrets and skills of the Tohsaka family would create unnecessary competition. Having chosen Sakura's sister, Rin Tohsaka, to carry on the work and bloodline of the Tohsaka, Tokiomi paid a brief goodbye to her second daughter, feeling a shred of sadness at the decision. Zouken Matou, the head of the Matou house, promised Tokiomi to train Sakura in the ways of Matou magecraft, taking her to be the successful heir that his grandson, Shinji Matou, could never be. Sakura witnessed and experienced all of these events silently, without objecting or resisting. Though, it was she who was the most pained by it all.
Life was not all different from that of the Tohsaka house, as Sakura enjoyed the privileges and pastimes she had when living with Tokiomi and Rin. Training was not to start initially, as Zouken wished for her to become used to her new home, and become acquainted with the other members of the Matou family. It was only herself, Shinji and Zouken who lived in the great mansion of the Matou family, and thus it was often silent, save for when Shinji and Sakura decided to play together. It would be two weeks of living a peaceful, uneventful life before Sakura began training. First, she was taught to use the seals on her palms, the signature seals of Dark Release, the defining trait and power of the Matou. During the practice of the basics, Zouken would often utilise high level techniques in an attempt to accelerate the process of learning, never allowing for times to rest during lessons. When she failed to meet expectations, Zouken increased the intensity of the training, and when she succeeded, she was met with little praise if at all. It was an expectation, in his eyes, that she should be able to learn quickly and defend herself. She should be capable of at least that much. Sakura continued to try her hardest, maintaining a strong resolve to prove herself and live up to the expectations of Zouken. This process continued for months, and by its end, it had merely become an exercise of enduring punishment. Her abilities were no longer growing, and Zouken could not stand the idea of losing another chance at having a successful heir. Becoming tired of the lack of progress, Zouken took Sakura to the lower levels of the mansion, to a secret chamber with open space as large as the upper two floors alone. The sounds of a pit filled with an innumerable amount of writhing creatures, jaws gnashing and antennae clicking, reverberated throughout the chamber. Sakura would be thrown to these creatures, crest worms, and spend an entire month being feasted upon. Each individual worm would gnaw at her flesh, and in exchange, would produce chakra to be absorbed into her system in order to replenish the reserves she expended rapidly everyday. The worms would also nest in her body, giving birth to more and more larvae that would in turn feast on her, perpetuating the process of being gnawed away at and re-energised all at once. She screamed endlessly for the first three days, falling silent after. Not because she had fallen unconscious, but because her body had become accustomed to the sensation. Where is Tokiomi? Where is Rin? Why am I here? I want to go home. I want to go home. I don't want to be here anymore. These were her thoughts, looping in her head countless times, before she was finally taken from the pit.

Chapter III: Wandering Vessel
Currently, Sakura aimlessly wanders the Ninja World, finding amusement in whatever she can, be it by gazing over the serenity of lands untouched by conflict and strife, or relishing in the suffering she inflicts on others at a moments notice.
OTHER
Black Grail: Sakura is one who possesses the power of Dark Release, an ability unique to those who hail from the Water Archipelago. She bears on each palm the signature seal of the element, and is able to break down and absorb oncoming energy-based attacks, creating a unique form of chakra which she is able to utilise in the form of violet-colored energy. She specialises in utilising this ability, allowing her to limit the number of seals made when performing them to a single one, if any, and she is more efficient than most in her control over this chakra, spending less when (-10) performing any given technique.
Corrupted Light: By combining her Lightning and Fire natures, Sakura is able to form an element of pure electrical energy; Dendera Light. All of her Dendera Light techniques exhibit colors ranging from black to red, or a combination of both. She is capable of performing all Dendera Light techniques with a single seal, if required.
Malignant Reticence: Sakura has developed an affinity for the sealing arts, which was part of her training during her time with the Matou family. Her capacity to utilise FΕ«injutsu also grants access to an element known as Mystic Fire, an ability that is formed from the combination of Fire, Lightning, and the control of FΕ«injutsu. Her flames are pitch-black in color, bearing a red outline.
Hollow Ataraxia: Bound to Sakura's body is a weapon named Zarathustra, one that bears no singular form, being able to take on a multitude of shapes and sizes at the command of the user. Currently, Zarathustra takes on the form of the dress she wears, as well as the tattoos that spiral across her body. Being bound to her body via FΕ«injutsu, it cannot be removed from her person.
