Sakura Takeyama (
Sakura was also a hero, (one of the first), and possessed the quirk known as Marking, using it to prolong her own existence and life. She also spent the better part of century hunting Sara Tamashii for a grudge she had for her, as well as Sara's own evil-doings.
When Sakura is revived via Godslayer, she becomes the mentor of her great grandson, Darius Takeyama, being quite influential, and a big part of his overall training, as well as growth.
Appearance[]
Sakura has the appearance of a young woman in her early-mid teens with a slender physique, soft skin, and green eyes that turn golden when she wields the blade, Godslayer. She has "finely textured" blonde hair that seems "as if sprinkled with gold dust." Her face shows some signs of naivety and displays elegance. She is more muscular than someone like Sara, leading her to believe her body is unappealing, but others believe her to be very feminine. She normally wears shining armor with an old styled dress, made from old-fashioned blue cloth, underneath. She is actually older than her appearance would show, as her body did not age from the moment she marked Sara and started draining Sara's lifeforce with her quirk, becoming "demi-immortal".
Personality[]
Sakura is ruthless and unstoppable. She also seems to have a pathological hatred of villains. Sara Tamashii, who she had increasingly became obsessed with destroying, had become her number one priority in hunting due to Sara's constant success in eluding her, so much so that all other people don't even matter to her.
Though it should be noted that Sakura does not appear to hate all villains, just ones that are like the one who ruined her life, as she mentions briefly that she had a villain lover once. But also believes that hero-villain relationships do not work out in the long run, as she ended up stabbing him in the heart for unknown reasons. So she apparently is very capable of looking past her own hated of villains and capable of feeling about them in a positive way on occasion.
When Sakura is told that Darius Takeyama is the future of the Takeyama clan and the world, Sakura understands her duties and accepts her responsibility, that she must make him into a fine man, capable of wielding Godslayer.
Despite some of her personality traits, Sakura appears to have a very caring and loving side. She states that her true goal has always been to see her kin flourish and survive, always protecting her bloodline. Sano Takeyama (her father), and her mother said that it was her mother's idiotic emotions that made her weak, and that she must always protect her relatives. Sakura is quite loving towards them though, and this can be apparent when she begins training Darius to wield Godslayer correctly. Sakura is also very patient and is ok with waiting. She waited many millenniums to kill one of her enemies, and is kind to Darius, even when he takes long to pick up and wield Godslayer.

Quirk[]
Marking: Sakura's quirk allows her to mark ("curse") someone with virtually anything she wants if she has enough power. She famously marked Sara Tamashii, binding Sara's life force to her, making it so that if Sara was to kill her, than she would also die, immortal or not. Sakura modified her original marking ability, making it so that Sakura's life was also bound to Sara's. She didn't care about the implications that such a thing would've had, if she could Furthermore, Sakura can slice someone with a blade, which she can use to track them if they evaded her.
For those who she marks, she can also gain some of their powers and abilities, or even quirk powers. When she marks Sara, she obtains her inability to age, when she marked her mother, she had the ability to see her premonition regarding Darius, and when she temporarily marked her sister, she gained access to her painting and horse riding skills.
