Phoebe Sakuragi

An upbeat, sociable young woman with a vested interest in law and bureaucracy. From a young age, she took an active role in righting the wrongs of the world around her, causing her to become quite accomplished.

She is incredibly observant in a social setting and can be almost uncomfortably right with reading people.

• Japanese culture is of great interest to Phoebe, likely due to both her and her mother's heritage.
  • She actively practices learning Japanese, as well as Latin and Greek due to its prominence in the legal field.
  • Her initial inspiration for her career path was inspired by Japanese shows she had watched as a child. They primarily featured young girls with magical abilities fighting evil. Her name was inspired by one particular heroine who harnessed the power of the moon.
• Unsurprisingly, her Value has made people wary of even interacting with her, accusing her mind-reading of being invasive. Phoebe has pledged to only use her powers for good, though her innate nosiness doesn't do her any favors. This resulted in a polarizing relationship with her peers in both academia and her profession.
• She wears customized glasses with more strength than the average pair. Her natural eyesight is incredibly poor, so without them, she's legally blind.
  • Her cat-eye glasses were inspired by her mother's style, which is in turn inspired by the 1950s and 1960s.
  • She has several different versions of her current glasses to go with different outfits.
• Though her alignment is ultimately lawful, Phoebe often critiques existing laws. She strives to expose and exploit loopholes in order to continuously correct the current system.
  • She is not afraid to use unconventional or disruptive 'tricks' to attain the information she needs. Any method is considered, as long as it's used in the pursuit of a greater good and a stronger foundation.
• In school, Phoebe has a track record of running for a position on every council, such as that of class president, leader of the model UN, etc. This ambition gave her a reputation among her peers as 'Little Miss President'.
  • The main reason Phoebe didn’t go into politics is her desire to passionately fight on behalf of people rather than diplomatically represent them. She is particularly wary of politicians herself, noting that their thoughts are the most inconsistent with what they say and do.
• Titles such as 'Miss' and 'Mister' are a way for Phoebe to establish a sense of formality with her peers. To her, it's a sign of respect, though sometimes it can sound condescending.
• In development, the Pink character was originally intended to be a young man. This changed quickly, but as a tribute to her 'beta' version, Phoebe was made canonically transgender.
• According to Bri, Phoebe is better at interrogation rather than investigation because her powers of environmental observation and visual acuity are actually quite poor.
  • This can come in conflict with her strong memory, leading to situations where she remembers a timeline of events but struggles to visualize the sequence in the appropriate space.
  • She hates 'find the difference' puzzles and prefers to substitute them with word searches.
• Order is important to Phoebe, even visually. She always keeps her things neat and tidy, preferring the look of things to be as symmetrical as possible.
• Most of Phoebe's food preferences are centered around sweet flavors, as Phoebe has a huge sweet tooth.
  • Despite not being a traditionally sweet fruit, tomatoes are Phoebe's favorite. She enjoys eating them raw, or with yogurt.
  • Phoebe’s desk at work features a large jar of colorful bubblegum balls, as she claims that chewing gum helps her think.
• Not allowed to have pets growing up, Phoebe has expressed an interest in having several pet rabbits as a self-sufficient adult. Her Specter has only intensified that dream.
• In school, her best sport was tennis. She still has many of her tennis skirts, rackets, and custom tennis balls, which were pink instead of light green.
• Before her attorney career officially began, she worked as a waitress part-time while she attended school. She claims that this helped her observe, understand, and talk to people better.
  • This also helped her develop her rollerskating skills.
• Unable to approach people without them scrutinizing her Value, Phoebe struggled to socialize with her peers growing up. People admired and worked with her in school but rarely invited her to non-work-related events outside of it. As a result, when she entered college, she made an effort to become more of a party person.
• Since her adoption, Phoebe has sought to reunite with the other children from her orphanage. However, she has so far been unsuccessful.
