Sakura Sasaki

Things were starting to get pretty strange and quite scary i had to admit. Here I was standing in an alley with now 4 higher levelled players around me. It was strange and extremely unnerving. "W-w-why am I suddenly so interesting and why are you doing a handstand erm ... Manta is it?" I asked clenching my fists and placing them just below my lips arms going up my chest. I tend to do that when I'm intimidated, it helps me feel safe.

Before the boy even answered a girl around his age appeared out of no where only to shove the boy out of the way. He seemed to know this girl judging by the way she not only introduced herself but him as well. I watched as the boy looked at the girl with a. stupified look on his face and i giggled a little covering my mouth with my hand as i did so. I don't know why i do that, i guess its just a reaction that i can't help sometimes. I decided to be polite and atleast introduce myself to them in return. "My name is Sakura i came in this alley to avoid the crowds, they make me really nervous." I said looking at the floor in embarrasment. My hood still raised.

Entering the alley i leaned against the wall taking a deep breath and releasing an over exaggerated sigh. I pulled my hood down revealing my Ocean blue eyes and pulled my hair out of my hood letting it cascade down my back till it hit my waist. I didn't notice i was being followed until i finally looked up. There in front of me stood a boy with touselled mousy brown hair. He wasn't doing anything besides observing me but he unerved me. I backed away quickly pulling up my hood again trying to hide the blush forming on my cheeks. Who was this boy and why was he following me? "W-w-who are you?" I said timidly avoiding eye contact

Hi I'm new here to SAO my friend told to join since i have roleplayed on other sites and i. really like sao so if anyone wants to roleplay with me just let me know :)

I looked around me at the virtual world that was assualting my senses. It was to real to be true I could feel everything around me. The wind blowing through my hair, the ground beneath my feet the unever cobblestone path. I could hear people chatting and rushing around. The crowds were real too ... i fumbled for a hood on. my clothing and was thankful i had some form of casual clothing on that resembled my real world attire. I was wearing a pair of blue skinny ripped jeans and a blue and white stripped hoody. I pulled the hood up over my head and buried my hands in the pockets of the jacket and began to search for a place less crowded, panicking slightly due to how many people around me there was i rushed into an alley down a little side street seeking refuge.

» About: History/personality

Sakura grew up in the small town of Yokosuka, Japan. She lived in her family dojo as shrine maiden and trained in the use of a katana becoming a master of swordplay in a short time do to the lack of socialization otside of her own family. She had few friends in school and those she did had came to betray her. At somepoint down the line she developed a split personality as a coping and defense mechanism towards stressful and hostile situations. She is normally reserved and shy and does not open up and has a fear of large crowds, but put under pressure she has been known to become cold and aggressive. It is speculated that she has split personality disorder by her family alltough she does not seem to act like another person entirely, but more of a darker version of herself that rarely sees the light of day.

Over time Sakura experienced more personalities emerging to express the emotions that she herself could not express. There are currently 3 known instances of Sakura to exist within SAO each persona has its own unique appearance due to the game reacting slightly different to her. Instead of it picking up on her Physical appearance. The game picks up on how each persona looks in the mind of Sakura which causes her to alter appearance in game depending on the current dominant personality.
