headcanon; (Sakura)

[sunatmyback]

1. Sakura practices Niten Ichi Ryu as well as Yagyū Shinkage-ryū, the second being her "public" style.
2. She loves sweet things, be it candy, dessert, or fruit. Somehow she doesn't have any cavities.
3. She listens to bouncy, cheerful and sugary J-Pop and K-Pop. She really likes music she can dance to, and she's a good dancer. Mostly.
4. She tends to be always in motion: she can be still if she wants, she has the discipline ingrained from being trained since she could walk, but she likes moving.
5. That being said, the most calm anyone will ever see her be, movement-wise, is when she has a sword in her hand (or one in each hand), due to her styles emphasizing steady footwork.
6. While she's from Kyoto (Minami-ku in specific), Sakura has worked hard, even before she moved and left Kyoto, to lose her accent.
7. Sakura is very physically affectionate. She likes hugs and draping and the like.
8. She can't cook at all: she could burn water. Thankfully she lives with Daisuke, who can cook.
9. Unfortunately, she is interested in learning how to cook, though her cooking is best summed up as lethal weapon, and might try to bring things she made to Angel meetings.
10. She's very interested in fashion and pretty frilly things. Especially hats.
11. Sakura's very informal with people her own age she likes. Typically jumps to -chan pretty quickly. Likes using first names though her ~destined rival~ may be an exception. Depending on her mood.
12. Speaks with lots of cutesy phrases and probably onomatopoeia thrown in. However, the rest of her speech tends to be more boyish, despite her traditionalist upbringing and all the attempts to get her to speak more femininely: she'll switch back and forth as the mood takes her, though.
13. Spams people with text messages. Full of emoticons and abbreviations and misspelling. Her text messages are kind of an eyesore.
14. Is the biggest microblogger, loves it to pieces. Has Twitter, Plurk, Mixi, anything and everything, and updates frequently. To the point of spamming.
15. is 5 feet, 6 inches tall. She is very tall for a Japanese girl (her parents aren't quite sure where it came from) and when she was hitting her growth spurt would cheerfully lament her uncute height, but wasn't ever bothered by it long.
16. Kind of fits the "smart but lazy" approach for her academics. As hard as she works on swordsmanship, she slacks off in school: not that much comparatively, given the school she attends, but she doesn't work as hard as she could, definitely doesn't put as much effort into homework as she could, but does well on exams.
17. Sakura was eight when she used her power for the first time: she wasn't too bothered by suddenly having a light-aspect sword in her hand, but rather more confused it hadn't hurt at all.
18. The fact her sword doesn't hurt her is symbolically tied to her entire worldview that everything is transitory, everything ends: she lets go so very easily, and so does her sword.
19. She used to have hair down to her waist that she wore in two braids: she cut her hair off shortly before moving to Tokyo.
20. Is kind of terrible with money, especially since she's startlingly generous to people, especially people she likes, always buying them presents and food and stuff even when there's no occasion at all.

bonus fact:
21. She buys Daisuke an extra-nice birthday present every year. It's kind of her way of both thanking him for putting up with her all this time and apologizing for being herself.
