Sakura Rai



Sakura Rai is a minor character who appears in Quiet After the Hurricane. She works with Interpol and keeps the secret of being a branch of the Oracle of the Law, though this alias is rarely active anymore due to exposure at the conclusion of aforementioned book.

Appearance
Sakura has white hair with small purple tufts on either side of her face. Pale blue hair falls down her neck the same color as her eyes. She wears a white shirt under a pale blue jacket accompanied by baby blue jeans and white boots.

Personality
Despite her appearance making her look angelic and delicate, Sakura is actually more talkative than one might suspect. She openly expresses how she feels about things around her. Sakura is rather powerful when it comes to speech, even yelling at the Under Cover Assassin after they had abducted her. Sakura doesn't show much weakness while she appears.

Before the Story
Like all other aliases of Chrysalis, Sakura didn't really 'exist' until after the GC-9 Incident when the Oracle of the Law project began. She was one of the ten original aliases created (along with Shayla Willows, Jo Jade, Estelle Burns, Rosalie Libra, Amy Kalles, Aria Claris, Erin Anderson, Skyla Rain, and Eileen Lile) at the project's start.

Quiet After the Hurricane
In The Undercover Turnabout, Sakura was to be attending an Interpol meeting in Zheng Fa, though she was kidnapped by the UCA upon her arrival. Throughout the case, she was stuck in the plane where she was being held hostage, communicating with Interpol through Venus Rinko, who would be channeled by Lily Shield to contact the police. Near the end of the case, Sakura was freed by Interpol, though prior to such, Collin Ispy grabbed a knife and gave Sakura a deep cut on her left hand, giving her the iconic scar that all of her aliases shared. Because the UCA announced publicly that Sakura was the Oracle of the Law, this alias is rarely used by Chrysalis anymore, and only in private environments.
