I am Aika Sakura — born of storm and steel.
although I was raised far from their world and did not know of my birth parents. At birth, a raid tore me from my bloodline, and I was carried away under protection. My adoptive parents, Aran Darius and Mizuki Hana, gave me soil to stand on — though Mizuki Hana was lost to another raid before I could speak her name.

The land shaped my hands and heart; the road taught me patience.
Yet the moonlight of my Pani heritage called to me still.

At eighteen, I journeyed across the sea to reclaim it. Now, under the guidance of Lord Ichirō Takahashi, I walk the path laid before me:
from farmer’s daughter,
to contract woman in training as of 12-1-25
and in time, to Okasan.

I stand between two worlds — Gorean planet and Pani tradition.
I seek to honor both with loyalty, discipline, and quiet resolve.

Where I walk next, I walk with purpose.
