- "A maiden of crimson darkness transformed by a human of Light, two forces colliding to become one. A true devil of goodness. How...human of her."
- — Irene regarding Sakura
Sakura(さくら Sakura) is a girl who was sent from Hell to Earth when she was 6 due to the outbreak of a war between angels and devils. At some point, she later met Satoshi, the man who slaughtered her parents in presumed cold blood, with the two bonding as students and eventual love. They bore 7 children, all of whom died young except the eldest, Hinata.
History[]
Sakura's father was the Devil and an unnamed woman who was of a lower rank in Hell where they lived in the level just above Lucifer's (Lucifer was sealed in the 9th). Shortly after her birth, presumably at the age of six, the Great Demonic War occurred as they fought with angels and upon realising this, The Devil disowned her completely causing his wife to take her away, only to be killed in front of the Devil as the devil teleported her away to a castle where the King and Queen lost their daughter known as Anastasia to death (as they could not truly understand what was happening). They adopted Sakura after witnessing the guards almost kill her, as she lived there peacefully for a few years. She then went to a school, meeting Satoshi, her future husband.
Shortly after, at 16 she had her first child; with this cycle continuing for the remainder of her short life, having bore 5 other children.
At the age of 19 (roughly around 1000 years ago), she made Enchantment (エンチャント Enchanto), a magical type that she created through using her Devil Blood and converting it into crimson red energy where she could use that and tap into the natural features of the environment, allowing her to manipulate matter by doing things such as turn rock into gold or wood into steel. That said, this basic principle of Enchantment is what allowed others such as Irene Belserion or Wendy Marvell to make their own Enchantment by adding and evolving this basic principle to limits completely unforeseen by Sakura in her lifetime.
She passed away in childbirth due to complications at the age of 21 with Satoshi by her side, giving birth to their 7th child and final son, Ryu; roughly 998 years ago.
More than 6 centuries later, Irene Belserion took the basics of what Sakura used to create Enchantment (using her demonic blood in tandem with control of the environment) and fully evolved it to its apparent limits by instead using her Magical Power and converting that into energy which could be used to manipulate the environment through binding it to things like inanimate materials or the ground); eventually being known as a Master Enchanter (
Appearance[]
Sakura was said to be a very beautiful young woman who bore a slender frame with white eyes that are generally said to be soulless. She also had a purple dress that goes to her ankles. Others perceived her as having red hair with a very voluptuous body, despite the fact that this is untrue.
When her eyes activated, veins shot out from her temples, causing her usually white eyes to manifest pupils.
When her demonic form manifested, she grew horns as her teeth bare what seem to be fangs with her tail immediately having a dark arrow as her fingers became claw-like protrusions. She also likely grew wings considering she was able to fly relatively fast.
Personality[]
She was kind, caring yet supportive and somewhat manipulative for the sake of those she loves, having had an affair with one of Satoshi's younger siblings. When questioned about her past, she usually got angry and manifested her demonic powers. Moments before her death, she admitted to Satoshi that she viewed her demonic heritage and red hair as a curse whilst also making peace with her love for him.
Powers and Abilities[]
As a high ranking demon, she was an exceptionally powerful entity. She also could revive others with her magic and possessed a necklace that can seal items such as boxes or elements such as fire. She also possessed white eyes that could see through things. By the time she turns 20, she can see through multiple cities with her eyes activated and detect her target. As a 21 year old, she is able to see through the entirety of Fiore.
However, the most notable achievement of hers is Enchantment or as was called by Satoshi himself, Demoness' Enchantment (悪魔の魅力, Akuma no Miryoku). Having created it at some point before her death through mixing her devil blood and energy with the surroundings, she was able to perform feats of masterful matter control and energy manipulation.
Satoshi only learnt two, but given that accomplishment of hers, it is likely that she has access to virtually every Enchantment seen; although Irene contested this, stating that Sakura herself only knew what she taught and that knowing every Enchantment was simply impossible. The credibility to this statement is unknown.
- Demoness’ Enchant: Absolute Force… Deus Gratia (魔神の魅惑絶対力…デウス・グラティア, Majin no miwaku: zettairiki… deusu guratia), Japanese for Demoness' Enchant: Absolute Force...God’s Grace) - The effects are unclear but the user's body is surrounded by dark energy which amplifies the force of the attack several times over (if not tens or possibly even hundreds at the technique's full power) and as explained: "Satoshi thought [this Enchantment] to himself as he responded with black energy that rocketed around him in the form of lightning as he summoned a bolt of lightning from his fingers in response, firing them at his opponent"
- Demoness’ Enchant: Chrono Saturnalia (魔神の魅惑 クロノ・サートゥルナーリア, Majin no miwaku: Kurono sāturunāria); Japanese for Demoness' Enchant: Chrono Saturnalia) - She had limited Time Manipulation where the user can freeze a person in time, stopping their movements. It takes a considerable amount of energy to use, however, causing her to become somewhat fatigued after only two uses.
Demon Form[]
- "The former maiden of darkness who now became the queen over the very darkness she once fought against; and as a mere child. How...naive."
- — Irene regarding Sakura as the Queen of Hell
As a high ranking demon, she naturally possessed a demon form, her tail immediately having a dark arrow as her fingers became claw-like protrusions as her necklace glowed red. To access it, she either has to have an emotional outburst or the Devil manifests himself within her consciousness, activating her necklace, causing it to turn red. How powerful she is, is unknown although she is regarded in legend as an extremely powerful entity, such that in her demon form, she was said to be able to kill a human in one slash. She can also fire finger-like claws from her hands which infect a person with demonic energy, slowly corrupting their mind. However, when she was knocked out by blunt force or due to psychological control and severe mental exhaustion, her demonic form would release.
Emotional Empowerment: As a high-ranking demoness (lower than her father, the Devil, in rank), she has the innate ability to grow her capabilities in accordance to her emotions, similarly to Natsu although her powers only grow when she is angry.
Physical Strength: When in her demon form, her raw strength grows considerably, such that when she was first accessed the form in front of Satoshi, she sent him flying to the back of the room they were in with a single kick. In legend, it was said that she could even slash a man in half with a single strike to the chest. When she was 16, at close to full power, she was able to fight the Four Holy Beasts (only three of them as the Dragon was not there at the time) consisting of the White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and the Black Tortoise all at the same time; with her being able to knock all three out with some difficulty.
Flight: As a demon and when activating her demon form, she has the ability to fly via summoning "large bat-like wings of red energy". She was also said to resemble the eye of a storm whilst in flight.
Extreme Speed: She was said to be so fast that, according to Satoshi, she resembled a meteor hurtling towards the Earth.
Regeneration: Similarly to Mirajane Strauss and other demons, she is extremely resilient to pain. When she was possessed at the age of 16 and fought Satoshi, he decapitated her, only for her to instantly regenerate.
Enhanced Sight: When in her Demon Form, Satoshi states that she can see an entire country and all of its inhabitants with her eyes activated. Her sight is described as becoming telescopic in nature to the point where it can even see a person's internal organs and even their bodily makeup and cells.
When she killed her father at 21 years old, she became the Queen of Hell. In legend, she was said to be far stronger (as a 21 year old) than her younger self; such that Irene herself called her a goddess of demon magic, however, like with her statement regarding the Enchantment, it is unknown if this is entirely true. What is known is that had she been alive as she was before her death (at 20 years old) and at full power, according to Irene, she would have been able to defeat the entirety of Fairy Tail (with the exclusion of Gray, Natsu, Gildarts and Erza) during the Alvarez invasion.
Weaknesses[]
She is completely defenceless as a normal human due to lacking any training in martial combat.
She can also be manipulated if someone is clever or persuasive enough (such as with Satoshi) or controlled by Memory Magic, forcing her devil form to activate because of the manipulation.
She is also susceptible to sunlight and only fights during the night (as her devil form is often called vampiric in nature).
Her regeneration can be nullified entirely by attacks that annihilate a person's very existence or by someone who possesses Devil Slayer Magic and is competent in its usage.
Her physical strength as a demon has limits as she cannot kill a dragon using her physical strength alone (regardless of age); and had the Azure Dragon been there, she likely would have lost even in her full power demon form (at the time).
Despite this power she bears as a 20 year old and even as the Queen of Hell, her true weakness outside of psychological control, severe exhaustion or blunt force trauma is the Fairy Heart, Fairy Sphere and Fairy Law, due to their innate properties as spells that are those of faith, hope and love whereas her demonic form and power associated with it are meaninglessness, despair and hate.
