===Analysis===

Sakura is the first [[Shrine Maiden]] you obtain in both Birthright and Revelation. In Birthright she's available from [[Mother|chapter 5]], but in Revelation she'll be unavailable from [[The Path Is Yours|chapter 6]] to the end of chapter 8. She's a typical earlygame healer, with low bulk, but valuable [[staff]] utility. She cannot face combat, but can provide useful healing to the rest of the army in the first few chapters as she is the only staff user you have at the start, besides Jakob and Felicia. Sakura start out with two skills [[Quiet Strength]] and [[Miracle]]. Quiet Strength is a great utility skill as it makes all of the player's units significantly bulkier. Miracle is an overly situational skill and will rarely see use as Sakura isn't a frontline unit.

Overall, Sakura is unusual for a royal character as she manages to rarely find an efficient role and is often considered inferior to units that can do similar things as her with lower investment. As such Sakura breaks the trend of royal characters in Fates being good, by being painfully mediocre overall.

===Role===

Sakura appears as an equippable [[Bond Ring]]. She can be summoned using [[Corrin]]'s [[Emblem Ring]].

===Role===

There are three different variations of Sakura available to ''Heroes'', all of which are tied to her storyline appearance in ''Fates''. The normal variation of Sakura is one of the characters available to be summoned by players from the game's initial launch. A Halloween variation of Sakura was made available between the period of October 30, 2017 through November 28, 2017 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the [[Trick or Defeat!]] update. A hot spring-themed variation of Sakura was made available between the period of January 23, 2019 through February 23, 2019 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the [[Hostile Springs]] update.
