Gimmick/Personality: 

Sakura Watanabe was YUYO's No. 1 Fan, Proud President/Founder of the YUYO Intergalactic Fan Club. Now, not so much, she has seen the true Yumi. For some reason, she has developed Stockholm syndrome, despite the bullying she endures from Yumi and Neko, she considers them friends. Plus, Beezlebubble and Meowkazawa are super nice, she would feel bad if she abandoned them. 

Sakura is super nice, too nice. Sometimes she will actually ask if her opponent is okay if she hit them hard. She can be clumsy at times in the ring. She is oblivious to almost everyone else's meanness, always assuming they meant things as a compliment not as an insult or a jest.  When she feels like she's on a roll in the ring, she will stop to pose for the cameras, knowing that her fans will enjoy that. So yeah, there's a lot of room for to make mistakes, which happens regularly and she gets yelled at by her partners. 

Finishing Move:

[1] Phoenix Down - From The Inverted Facelock, Sakura swings around, pulling her opponent back into a doubleknee backbreaker while also slamming her arm down across the chest.

[1] Baby Moonsault - With the opponent down, close to the corner, Sakura runs to the corner, hops over them, lands on the second turnbuckle, freezes, looks deathly scared before completing a second rope diving moonsault. 

[2] Hopeless Romance - With Sakura facing her opponent, she goes to yells at them but it comes out as a loud squeak. Confused, the opponent looks around, wondering what's going on.

Wrestler Biography:

Sakura never excelled at anything. She found herself often bored in class, but then she started watching Joshi wrestling, where she saw the early career of Yumi Yoshida, later known as YUYO. YUYO vanished from the Japanese circuit to Sakura dismay. She seriously hoped that her shrine in her closet was not to blame for the sudden disappearance of her idol. Cue EMERGE and the rebirth of Yumi Yoshida as YUYO. Loving this reincarnation, even more, Sakura went on to found and serve as the president of the YUYO Intergalactic Fan Club. She was so sure someone, a kindred spirit of sorts, would finally read those fliers and show up to the meetings, but no one did.

For her eighteenth birthday, Sakura's parents awarded her with a trip to England. During this trip, she was able to meet YUYO in the flesh. The problem is, YUYO found Sakura to be too adorable and impromptu adopted Sakura. Meowkazawa had to guise the abduction as a marketing internship at a worldwide company in order to appease Sakura's parents and avoid legal trouble. YUYO had a vision, Sakura was to be her apprentice magical princess. That is how she found herself in the violent world of pro-wrestling as a competitor. She doesn't it like here. She's scared.
