Sakura

Sakura (サクラ Sakura) is a bounty hunter and Ink Sports athlete in the Inkling Uprising universe. She is a former player in the ISL, but has left and now plays on her own without being part of a team after a troubling past. The name "Sakura" has not been confirmed to actually+ be her real name, leaving her true identity unknown.

Sakura joined the ISL with great ambition to become a popular Turf War player, but as described by Daniel Parker, "she became the wrong kind of popular." She had very poor skill in the sport, leading to her joining various teams and being kicked of every single one. This further lead to intense bullying and even a petition by several players to get her kicked out of the league, something Bryce Armstrong vividly remembered being against. All this, combined with a family who abused her for her poor performance, lead to Sakura becoming utterly heartless and indifferent. After several years of training, and quitting the ISL out of rage, Sakura returned as an independent player hellbent on inflicting the same pain she felt to others.

Sakura favors the Dualie class, and mains the Glooga Dualies for their superior power. She appears to focus on splatting opponents and bringing fear to them rather than the objective in combat. Many newer players, and even more experienced ones, have become terrified of her. Her most notable trait is her anger, and she will physically attack, regardless of what it was or what's happening, when provoked even slightly.
