Gender: Female

History: Sakura Leigh ran away from home at the age of eight to become a knight for the King Lucas of Hondoria. She took her grandfather's sword and took her grandfather's name as her own. Through out her years of training she hid her gender knowing it would mean her life was forfeit once she was discovered. The early years were easy but puberty made it harder to hide and she devised a way to bind her chest and hide her hips with baggy pants. She worked hard and became a knight at the age of 25, a year earlier than more knights.

During the Second Demon War, she helped fight the demons that were invading the country side from the north. During a battle, she lost her left leg to a fire spell and had to have what was left amputated on the spot. She was left behind and captured when the human army retreated. For two weeks, she was beaten and tortured before being rescued. All the while, she never spoke a word to the enemy, except to curse them. The torture left her with scars and burns all over her body, especially her left leg.

The king's daughter took a fancy to her after the war for reasons Lee never understood. One night, she snuck into her room and began to undo her pants in an attempt to pleasure her. When the princess found that her beloved knight was not a man, she quickly informed her father. The king decided rather than suffer the embarrassment of revealing he had taken on a female child to become a knight and had her trained to become one, he would instead exiled her for trying to deflower his daughter.

After being exiled, she tried to find work in towns but found it hard to be taken seriously as a cripple that used a crutch to get around. A year later, at the age of 29, she had a leg made of wood fashioned. The leg is uncomfortable and she often complains about it. She is still sore about losing his leg and is often sulking. Many a night she has nightmares, so it is not uncommon for her to have dark circles under her eyes. Despite this, once she's out of her rut she's quite happy-go-lucky though often sarcastic.
