Sakura Maruyama

Important Notes

Sakura has a slightly thicker build than the other characters from Flowering Nightshade; this is most noticeable in the shape of her waist and thighs.

While Sakura has poor eyesight, she tends to wear contacts in public most of the time. She generally only wears her glasses in private, unless convinced otherwise by someone she trusts.

Sakura is generally bashful and self-effacing, not wanting to stand out most of the time. However, she often seems well-adjusted in most social situations at a glance, as she has needed to learn how to mask her emotions for her job. When she opens up to people, she can be very passionate about her interests.

Story

Sakura Maruyama is the youngest of three sisters, and sometimes feels like she relies on them too much. When her older sisters bought a place in Akiramine to live away from their parents, Sakura soon followed them despite not yet having a job to help pay. She has long desired to find a career where she can learn and perform different varieties of dance, but all of her attempts to find such a job have fallen through. In order to avoid being a burden on her sisters, she has settled for a job as a barista and cashier at a local cafe.

Note: The details of Sakura’s life vary across the different world states (storylines) of the game she appears in. Some common traits are:

• Meeting one or more of the other characters of Flowering Nightshade, eventually joining that friend group.
• Seeking to find a romantic relationship that isn’t as shallow as her early experiences.
• Learning to accept separating her hobbies from her career.
