Gentle but persistent. A cherry blossom blooming through winter.
She's a positive Umamusume with an indomitable spirit, who's cheerful, optimistic, and unfazed by every obstacle.

She has special feelings for her classmate, Narita Brian, and she hopes to beat her someday.

Appearance
Sakura Laurel has bright reddish and chestnut colored hair, cut into a cute bob-cut that curls inwards, with bangs parted down the middle. She wears a golden laurel crown on the top of her head, and on her right ear she wears a purple ring of diamonds, with gold and purple ribbons attached. She has pinkish-purple eyes with bright pink highlights in the shape of a sakura flower.
Her racing uniform is light, simple, and cute. She wears a white blouse with short, puffy sleeves that have dark pink cuffs and ruffles. Over this, she wears a pink sleeveless vest with a dark gray sailor collar and a thick gold trim. The coat tail of the vest is adorned with a white sakura flower, and has two distinct ribbons coming off either side, both shaped like the petals of a cherry blossom. Underneath the vest is a dark pink top fastened with golden sakura-shaped buttons. A pink ribbon with a gold chain and sakura pins accents the neck. Her wrists are accented with matching pink cuffs with a similar design to her vest. She wears a simple pair of white shorts with gold trim and layered pink ruffles. On her right leg, she wears a dark gray sock with a heart shaped cutout and a gold laurel wreath trim. Her outfit is completed by white boots with pink fold-over tops and dark pink out-soles.
