Personality
Sakura is rather bossy, controlling and serious. She often worries about her work and the need to always achieve perfection has made her a perfectionist in just about everything else. The young woman also has a streak of paranoia, constantly worrying about what could go wrong, hence why she tries to consider all the possibilities. But obviously her attempts to stay two steps ahead aren’t always guaranteed to work. Sakura is also rather socially awkward, mostly used to being left to her own devices. Sakura’s ego and controlling nature drives her to constantly argue with her brother. But she wants to always be with him and always worries for him though she’d rarely confess these feelings. The female was taught that money is the most important thing in the world and dreams of living a life of immense wealth and fortune. Hence why she's rather cheap and despises spending large amounts of money. Her relationship with her brother is honestly rather typical. Sakura often argues with him due to her authoritarian role in the house. She believes she knows best for the both of them in most situations and has no issues arguing with him to get her way. Satoshi is truly the only person she completely trusts, he's the only person she cannot imagine betraying her. Sakura also finds him funny, entertaining and possibly the most interesting person she'd ever met, but she'd never tell him that. | |
History
Satoshi and Sakura were twins recently born in the Earth Republic capital known as Ba Sing Se. Their parents Takashi and Fumiko weren’t even married and were in a rather strained relationship, mostly just sticking with one another to raise the twins. But Takashi was a rather abusive man to his girlfriend, but hadn’t laid a finger on the young children. Takashi had been tired of living in the lower ring, finally able to get a decent job as an artisan he grew tired of raising a family that was holding him back. He abandoned Fumiko and his son, only taking his daughter with him when she was 5. Fumiko struggled to support her son, but managed by working in the red light district. The twins would move on to live rather contrasting lives. Being a frail boy, Satoshi was frequently bullied by his schoolmates. Doing a fine job of isolating him, while Sakura grew up in much better circumstances since Takashi loved and pampered his little girl. Their 7th birthday had been the age where they both started airbending simultaneously. Sakura having accidentally cut one of her friends with an air swipe at her birthday party while Satoshi fired an air bullet into the nose of one of his bullies. As they reached the tender age of 10, the twins had begun finding their talents. Satoshi wanted some snacks but his mother didn’t have the money, he wasn’t strong enough to take it from anyone and it’s not like he had any friends so he had managed to trick some other children into buying some of his old pens who he managed to convince were magic. While Sakura had been quite gifted, Takashi had been struggling with his career and had gotten into counterfeiting. He had the printer, the ink and everything but he simply wasn’t talented enough to pull it off even with some instructions. Having enjoyed art class, Sakura had studied her father’s book and managed to make a Yuan bill that looked convincing enough to be real. As they grew into adolescence, they grew into their fields of work naturally. Satoshi had grew into a talented con man. Able to use his words and quick wits to sell practically anything. He hardly cared about the people he was ripping off, he just wanted to be able to support himself and his mother. Sakura had been daddy’s precious little thing since he discovered her very profitable talent in counterfeiting. She managed to learn how to produce fake pieces of art as well. As the twins had turned 16, Sakura’s relationship with her father had grown rather toxic since all he cared about using her to literally make him his money. Takashi had given into his old tendencies and had gotten quite abusive with his daughter. Scaring and intimidating her into working for him. Things had taken a surprising turn for both of them when Fumiko was killed by a client and Sakura had grown fed up of her father’s abuse. Apparently the twins shared similar ideas seeing as how Satoshi avenged his mother by disguising himself and selling his mother’s killer a large amount of cactus juice and made an anonymous call to the police while Sakura had done the same. Having convinced the police her father was a master counterfeiter rather than her, because who’d believe that a teenage girl could produce so much fake money and other expensive girls. About a year later, Satoshi had remained sticking to his deceptive ways while Sakura had decided that counterfeiting was far more enjoyable when she was reaping all of the benefits. Surprising enough, Satoshi had managed to move to the middle ring where his sister lived. Ripping off the people there was far more profitable and easier. But when the young man tried selling Sakura some fake jewelry, she couldn’t help but laugh at how shoddy the craftsmanship was. She had then threatened to report him to the cops. Naturally Satoshi didn’t need that and as the conversation went on, they began to realize who the other was. Obviously the 10 year reunion was heartwarming, though Sakura warned never to try conning her again. Though she found him somewhat useful and he was family after all. After having him move in with her, the twins began collaborating their skills and they had been immensely successful for a couple of years. She made flawless items for sale and he did a wonderful job of getting them sold. Everything went well and they were just about to move to the Upper Ring when the police got wind of their operation. So the twins made a hasty escape from the city and needed a new place to work. Republic City was a cesspool of crime and villainy, seemed just about perfect for the siblings who had recently turned 20. | |
