Personality[]
Sakura's calling out Mary Saotome's mistakes
As someone who takes her role as the member of the Student Council, very seriously, Sakura is regarded as a distinguished and honest individual. She is generally known for her stern and serious nature. Midari Ikishima believes Sakura is too honest, and unless she learns how to bend, "she'll snap in two". However, she is actually very kind beneath her strict exterior. Additionally, Sakura is very intelligent and confident in her gambling skills.
Sakura is shown to be genuinely in love with Aoi Mibuomi, even though their families arranged the marriage. The love she has for him has even made her jealous when he asked Mary Saotome to join his organization. Her affection was also evident when she started crying after Aoi rejected her.
After Aoi broke her heart, she became quite vengeful, demonstrating that she has the ability to act very cunningly when necessary.

Aoi Mibuomi laughing at Sakura's outburst
Sakura appears for the first time at the party Aoi Mibuomi has thrown to celebrate Mary Saotome for joining Full-Bloom. She is cold towards Mary and questions Aoi's decision to include her in their plan to overthrow Kirari Momobami, but he laughs it off and tells her not to worry about it. She also feels jealousy, but she does not want to admit it openly.

Sakura is then sent to scold Midari Ikishima due to the latter not paying any fees for her gambling dens to the Student Council. While she and her friends refuse to pay at first, eventually Midari decides to challenge her to a simple dice game. Sakura easily wins, receiving the ¥5,000,000 she had to collect, and exposes Midari for allegedly using a rigged dice (something that actually never happened). Interested in her, Midari asks her to gamble more, offering her ¥30,000,000. She provokes her, saying she has nothing to lose and should just indulge her. However, Sakura immediately refuses, which leaves her in complete disappointment.
Sakura finding a clue for the "treasure hunt"
After speaking to Mikura Sado, Sakura decides to challenge Mary to a game through a letter. If Mary wins, she will be accepted as a Full-Bloom member. Sachiko Juraku joins in, preparing a treasure hunt for them. Mikura urges her to win as the two girls are both threatened by Mary Saotome's presence.

Sakura goes on the treasure hunt and finds the chest before Mary. She is certain to have won, but finds that there were actually two treasures and Sakura has to use Mary's key to open her own.
Sakura crying after Aoi's rejection
Sakura was then defeated because she underestimated Mary and her friends. When faced with this truth, Sakura apologizes sincerely for her behavior, showing her maturity. However, Aoi berates her so cruelly for losing that it causes Sakura to burst into tears as Aoi says he is firing her from her position. Sakura asked Aoi if he wants to break their engagement. Aoi laughs and says he would never do that, but only because the Mibuomi Family would get many benefits from such a marriage to the Miharutaki Family, which makes Sakura realizes he never loved her back. Sakura makes a painul smile as she starts to cry.
Later, Sakura is seen speaking to Sachiko in her office where she wants to take revenge on Aoi and wants to stop his plans of overthrowing Kirari. Sakura leaves the Beautification Council and entrusts everything to Naoe Habakiri. Sakura contacted Mary and now works together with her against Full-Bloom. She then takes part in a gamble with Mary, Nagi Kamishimo and Soutarou Ibuki where she hopes to win and beat two other Full-Bloom members to damage Aoi's plans.
She gambles against Soutarou and wins, but she also gives him advice on how to stand up for himself at the same time. Despite having cut ties with Full-Bloom, she still wants housepet to be freed.
