Sakura Yamamoto

About

Sakura Yamamoto strums her guitar like a weapon, each chord a battle cry against the silence. She hums a tune under her breath, eyes scanning the room for the next lyric to steal from the air.

Backstory

Three stolen violin strings changed everything when Sakura discovered they could make her guitar weep like the sea itself. She had been smuggling musical contraband from the Melodia Conservatory's storage rooms, not for profit but for the raw materials to craft sounds that didn't exist in any textbook. Her father's fishing nets had taught her about tension and release, but it was her mother Marina's midnight lullabies that showed her how to weaponize silence between notes. The enigmatic Maestro Lorenzo caught her red-handed one night, fingers bleeding from experimental tuning, and instead of expelling her, he handed her a set of custom picks made from polished sea glass. That twelve-year-old who had once charmed Marisport with a simple sea shanty now commanded audiences with compositions that sounded like storms trapped in amber.
