"Women are angels...
and when someone breaks our wings...
we simply continue to fly...
on a broom stick. We are flexible like that"
Focus of your Psi: Very good with burst but also dabbles in Trance. What potential she truly has with trance is yet to be seen.
How does your Psi work:
Trance- She has abilities to look into the mind. However she can only do so when touching the other person. It is very hard for Sakura to pin point anything specifically but occasionally she can if she tries hard enough. Pin pointing things can take a lot out of her. She can look into the past, present and future of the mind but the future is very hard and brief. When touching another person the look is far more in depth and more easily controlled. This way she can force a look into another person’s mind but she does not have to look into it. If she just casually touches someone she might get a look without trying but sometimes she might not. Sporadically she might even get a glimpse of someone else’s mind without a touch but it is very difficult and she can’t control when it happens. She might retrieve a memory from five minutes ago or five years. She might hear a thought, a desire, or a flash of the future. Despite all Sakura’s abilities to look into the mind, she has never tried to manipulate another person’s mind…
Burst- Sakura truly shines when it comes to her burst Psi. Her burst abilities manifest themselves in some strange ways. For instance her primary burst power is the use of blue psychic energy. With it she can create monstrous beams of pure energy (she calls it her chi) that cause severe damage and destruction. She uses this blue aura to surround objects and either move or manipulate them. Secondly Sakura has power with fire and lightning. She considers these products of her magical spells and mystic abilities (In reality, it is her psi ability. Not magic).
Psi-Level: Psi-Adept
Short History:
Sakura was born to a Japanese woman named Ayami whose family were farmers. Her father was a half Native American half American (white) business man. He came to Japan on a business trip and had a one night stand with a Japanese farm girl visiting the city for the first time. He went back to America the next morning and Ayami was left with nothing but the name “Christopher Gates”. Later on she was found to be pregnant but she had no way of contacting the wealthy Mr.Gates. Being unwed, Ayami was cast out by her traditional family and village. She was forced to fend for herself and her baby alone.
For some time she wandered with her young child through the city, hoping to by some miracle to run into Mr.Gates. They lived on handouts while Ayami began to rely on her spirituality in such a hard time. She began to gain interest in witch craft and spells, thinking them real. She made some money by creating things like “love potions” from strange roots and selling them. Ayami eventually started to rent a broken down shop in the worst part of town to sell her mystic wares.
Sakura grew up believing fully in witch craft. Her mother told her she had “the gift” of magic, however this was really just her Psi. Sakura did all she could to keep their small family afloat, telling fortunes from a very young age. Sakura’s ability to read minds and brief glances of the future and past gave her plenty of ammunition to mend together a simple picture of what the future might look like. She became known throughout Japan for her fairly accurate readings of the future. Their once small witch shake grew quite profitable. Business men would come from all over Japan for advice on their fanatical affairs and young heiresses would come for advice on their future romance.
Personality:
Miss Ai is quite the different sort of person. She is not afraid to be so either. In fact she will gladly tell you that she was a tree frog in her former life and an emu before that. If you pay her a little she might tell you about your former life or even some of your future. She believes in magic, spells and whimsy. Whole heartedly she sees legend and myth as history. Magic is her science. She suspects dragons lurk in caves and Pegasus in the clouds. Sakura will never be caught dead sleeping in a room without garlic, as to ward off the vampires. She often brings her magical theory in regular conversation as an explanation for things.
The strangest thing of all is one is never quite sure if she is messing with your mind or she is serious. She often says something even she sees as completely ridiculous in an utterly serious tone. Sakura is sarcastic, cunning and witty. She does have very strange beliefs but she also very much enjoys toying with people. She likes to see how people behave under pressure or when they are angry. It helps her learn about people and who they truly are beyond the shallow surface. Plus, it’s a good deal of fun. Causing trouble is one of her favorite past times. She is naturally very curious, primarily about the human mind and magic. She loves to solve mysteries and pick people apart.
If Sakura gets bored, one might want to watch out. She gets bored very easily and likes to cause havoc. Not meaning no be destructive or cruel (though it often ends up being so) but simply to spice things up for the sake of it. Neboka knows how to turn on the charm and play a role if she needs to in order to advance her scheme. She is a surprisingly good actress.
Some people are mildly superstitious. They might have a lucky jersey or necklace. They might specifically move in a different direction as to not walk under a ladder or cross a creepy looking black cat. Sakura is highly superstitious. She has superstition no one has ever even heard of or could imagine.
Sakura has a good intuition with people. She is very intuitive about who people are and analyzes them well. She is very observant, easily catching every small detail about a person or their small shifts in emotion. It allows her to figure people out quickly and predict their actions. Much of this she fine-tuned while running the shop with her mother. Her curiosity greatly fuels this habit.
Though Sakura can be naughty, provoking and even eccentric she is also very child-like. She loves playful jest and childish tom foolery. She can be so juvenile that if someone of true masterful manipulation can get her to believe things quite easily. They simply have to know how she thinks and what things to tell her to make her believe. However one must be careful in attempting to manipulate her, she is cunning and watchful though she can be naïve in her belief in magic.
While Sakura is a generally cheery in her own outlandish way she can become fierce when back into a corner. Generally she keeps a calm and cool, snarky demeanor but when she feels helpless or overpowered, then the gloves come off. A new being comes out and she changes to a ferocious hell hound. She has strong natural instincts to fight and protect.

How did you become a Psychicher:
Sakura’s magic became renowned throughout Japan. Those in the government who know about Psychicher began to suspect the reason she had these abilities was not magic at all but because she had the psychicher gene. Soon they came and tested her. She was completely positive for the gene. She was taken away to the school, leaving her mother behind. Sakura does want to harness her abilities here but she wishes she could also be supporting her mother. Sakura does not know what she believes about this gene thing but she is certain that her abilities are due to magic, not science.
