The little Firefly that could (Hotaru Sakura Q&A)

[Hotaru Sakura]

Erm....so much to say and no clue how to start, but well....I really enjoyed this game. I really liked Sakura, and all the connections and everything she made.

I'm happy I have a character with multiple schools where I get to use the Firefly tech once (okay, 0.5 times, but still).

Also, Sakura was kinda built for the metagame, so for a lot info stuff, she was well designed, so for a lot of occasion she did good. Still, never thought the Firefly would top 3, nor that I would make so many posts!

Feel free to ask any questions, though I don't think Saks had a lot of secrets.

I'm sad I dropped their line... I'm curious, though, if Sakura would have connected Yesugen as the Grumpy Cat! Perhaps Yesugen would have recognized the perfume but, otherwise, wouldn't have clung to the idea.

Hello! And thank you for joining us once again for Banner/Shadow War! I'm glad that you ended up liking Sakura and you've posted a lot! I know, in the beginning, you weren't sure about your concept at first! Were there lingering things you were hoping to achieve with your time here? Also, did you have some guesses about Nari-chan prior to the biggest discovery on Shadow War...ever!

Possibly! I think it would have made a fun encounter considering how...disastrous the one at the gala was

I had a fun time writing with Sakura! Definitely shipped Sakura/Yurei, pretty much from the start.

What's in her future?
Any big surprises from her over the course of the game?

Hm, tough call! I didn't have a lot of expectations coming in, but I knew my nature would mean to give my best shot at the metagame, but joined the Firefly cause 1. cool people in mah area and 2. low expectations as a minor clan.

And then we kinda...did the thing!

No specific things to achieve, Iguess. Maybe more scenes about a few more things, spending more time with the other ronin, but I didn't have a specific direction I wanted Sakura to go.

I did have a feeling about Mariko when I realized you were running the plot, so if it was an onscreen NPC, that narrowed things xD

Terrible metagaming, I know!

Aw, thanks!

Future? Gonna work on getting more ronin into the clan and onto planets and mining rigs.

Surprise? Hm....everything and nothing, in a way? I didn't have any specific expectations in mind, but a lot of good connections allowed me to play out an eager former ronin who was genuinely happy to be in a rough and tumble Minor Clan, and also play around on what kind of person ends up not being horrible or bitter after a lifetime of roninhood on the World of Dreams. Without drugs.

*hugs* Hey roomie! Just want to say that I'm glad Sakura's the character you finally settled on. She was a lot of fun to interact with and watch as she rolled along. And holy cow was she kind of a powerhouse for the Firefly. I'd initially expected to be alone and just kind of barely paying attention to the metagame, and here we are...

You were involved or on the edge of some of the game plots and personal plots, did you have a favorite?

And, with that wardrobe...where did Sakura learn her thrift shopping skills? Or were those dumpster dives too? ^^

Yeah, the Firefly Juggernaut kind acame out of nowhere-ish...

Favorite plot? Hm...probably I'd say the Sample retrievalt? It was a weird thing in the mix, but the event was well done, and it got Sakura in contact with some cool people.

Second is probably Nari-chan!

Thrift shopping, dumpster diving, some light shoplifting possibly....ronin gotta be creative

Hello darling fan!

Thanks for the fun moments, and for the interaction we had! <3

What made you settle on Hotaru Sakura out of all your ideas this time around? And how many times did you consider rolling in something new?

[Hotaru Sakura]

I actually didn't consider rolling anyone new....okay, around D8-ish? And even then it was more of a fancy thought of a Loremaster or Kitsuki that could be cool, but I was fully satisfied with Sakura as a character.

I think..I wanted to take part in the ronin game, but was worried about stress...and thne decided why not make a former ronin? Firefly are one of the clans that interest me the most in Banner, and I knew Katsu and Tsuyo are cool people, so I figured why not
