Yozakura, a second-year Gessen Girls' Academy student and Gessen Elite member, carries the weight of her past as the eldest of twelve siblings. Orphaned at eight after her shinobi mother fell in battle and her father perished a year later, she shouldered responsibility for her siblings until their separation forced her into homelessness. This hardship drew her to Kurokage, a shadowy mentor who offered the power to protect others, binding her to a surrogate family of Yumi, Murakumo, Shiki, and Minori. Her demeanor oscillates between stern authority and nurturing warmth. She rigorously upholds discipline, serving as Yumi’s unwavering enforcer, yet softens into gentle playfulness during quieter moments. Stress or anger triggers her raw Okayama dialect, exposing the intensity beneath her controlled exterior. This duality mirrors her combat approach—wielding piston-driven gauntlets to deliver crushing blows, prioritizing overwhelming force over finesse. A lifelong caretaker, she channels this instinct into mentoring the headstrong Minori, alternating sharp reprimands with steadfast encouragement. Her rigid moral code clashes during encounters like her tense showdown with Ryōna, a Hebijo student who thrives in her role as a self-proclaimed "evil" shinobi. Yozakura’s struggle to comprehend Ryōna’s embrace of ambiguity chips at her own convictions, seeding doubts about absolutes of good and evil. Sparring sessions with Yumi lay bare her vulnerabilities, frustration bubbling as she critiques her perceived shortcomings. Yet she harbors a sly competitiveness, flaunting superiority in mundane contests like cooking with taunting confidence. These contradictions paint her as a figure molded by loss and duty, perpetually balancing unyielding principles against the need for adaptability. Visually, she merges tradition with ferocity—short blue hair pinned by a cherry blossom clip, a midriff-baring kimono-style uniform, and tabi socks paired with wooden sandals. Her massive gauntlets, etched with delicate floral patterns, embody the fusion of brutal strength and refined heritage, mirroring her role as both enforcer and anchor within her tumultuous world.
