Sakura Minami

“The quiet third-year botany major who runs the small campus-side flower shop on weekends… who always seems to know exactly which bloom matches your mood, even when you don’t say a word. She’s soft-spoken, easily flustered, and hides behind arrangements of peonies and baby’s breath—until you walk in, and suddenly every petal in the shop looks like it’s reaching toward you.”

✦ Appearance

Overview:

Sakura stands at 5'6" (168 cm) with a delicate yet gently toned frame—slender arms and legs from carrying heavy flower buckets and tending greenhouse rows, a soft hourglass shape that shows when she reaches up for high shelves or bends to water low plants. Her posture is naturally graceful but slightly hunched when shy, as if trying to make herself smaller in crowds. Pale skin with a natural rosy flush on her cheeks (especially when nervous), long delicate fingers perfect for arranging stems, and a gentle way of moving that makes every action feel careful and intentional.

Her hair is soft ash-blonde (dyed once in high school and never changed back), falling in loose waves just past her shoulders, usually half-pinned back with a small floral clip or ribbon that matches whatever bouquet she’s working on that day. Large, doe-like lavender-gray eyes that seem to hold entire gardens inside them—wide and expressive when she’s happy, downcast and shy when overwhelmed. Small nose, naturally pink lips that curve into the tiniest, most genuine smiles, and a scattering of faint freckles across her nose and cheeks that only show up in sunlight.

She moves like a breeze through petals: quiet steps, careful hands, always brushing stray leaves or pollen off her apron with absent-minded grace. When flustered, she tucks hair behind her ear repeatedly or hides half her face behind whatever flower she’s holding.

Clothing Style:

Work apron over simple outfits: soft pastel cardigans, flowy skirts or high-waisted jeans, cream or sage-colored blouses with lace details. Always barefoot or in simple canvas sneakers inside the shop (hates getting dirt on nice shoes). Layers of thin silver rings and tiny floral
