SAKURA

The Day I Was Born

As I cradled in my mother's arms, a cherry blossom landed on my nose, and thus came the inspiration for my name... At least that's what my mom says!
...

Hi everyone, my name is Shinobu Sakura. I'm your not so average girl, with a cute black bobed hair style, hazel eyes, and a fit body. Pretty, aren't I c:

You may be wondering, 'why did I say 'not so average', when the way I described myself screamed average?'

Well, as far as I'm concerned, I can remember events from my toddler years as clear as day!

For me, it's like recalling events that happened only a day ago [Plot twist!]

Because of this special ability, I have constantly been used as a tracking device!

It's always like, "Sakura, do you remember where I kept my watch" or "Hey Sakura, have you seen my little brother?"
I know, it's a lot, but that's not even the half of it!
At times, my friends would use me, as a witness, to prove a point in an argument!

To be perfectly honest, I don't mind being used... I love me a good mystery! You could say, I'm the female version of Sherlock Holmes!
Hahahaha- Just kidding! I'm not THAT great, but I'm not AVERAGE either; just saying...

Given how AMAZING my ability sounds, you'd think, "I wish I had such a great memory, that way I'd never lose my stuff, or I'd never forget my passwords," etc. Those might be the upsides of my ability, BUT, it is not as fun as you might think! [I'll throw more light on that later]

.
As much as I LOVE mysteries, there was still one thing that remained a mystery to me, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't solve it on my own.

I came to this realisation when I was 10; my little brain just needed to know how my life was when I was just a wee baby.

At first I figured, "I was a baby... Don't all babies do the same thing; they cry, eat, sleep, and cry some more, right? I don't think I want to remember any of that, sounds... rather traumatic".

But as I grew knowledgeable, I realized that babies experience more exciting things than us mere mortals. For example, there is a theory that says babies can see spirits! Now Isn't that just exciting!?

Well, after coming to that realisation, and some others, I just had to know!

I racked my little brain, and prepared some whacked up concussions I browsed about that were supposed to help recover lost memories... I don't even wanna talk about the tummy aches I received afterwards
[food for taught: don't trust the internet!]
Eventually, I gave up and decided to go to the one person I knew had all the answers.

Yeah, you guessed it! [Or not...]
My mom.

I took my chubby little body towards the kitchen where my mom was making us lunch. She was wearing the legendary apron, which had a green splash, smacked in the middle. It kinda looked like puke... Why it was called legendary, I have no idea. They wouldn't tell [sigh]

"Hey mom, I need you to quench my curiosity"

"What's all this about Hun!" She asked, not staring away from the veggies she was chopping, as some strands of my mom's long black hair fell down her face. It looked like she was battling with the veggies than anything... I guess the knife was dull?

"It's just... I wanna know how I acted as a baby" I whined

"But darling, you're still a baby" She said, rather matter of factly! Giving me a pouting look

"MOOOooom, this is no time for jokes!"

"What part of what I said was funny?" [Feigning ignorance I see]
