Yae Sakura used to be the shrine maiden of Yae Village. Despite her devotion, hard work, and wishes for the village's well-being, her ill sister was ultimately sacrificed and used in a barbaric ritual to try and bring rain and quell the honkai. The ritual worked for rain but the honkai beast attacks continued and despite sister’s last wish to not let fate burden her, Sakura gradually began to feel hatred towards the village.

Story

Yae Sakura was born in Yae-gu, Shinano, Japan, and is estimated to be a village formed by Yae Tribe. The Yae family had potential to develop a natural stigmata that allowed communication with the spirits. Although Yae Sakura was a miko, in the case of the patriarchal society at the time, her actions were always controlled by a governing force. Her trial to overcome her oppressors is a recurring theme, in her incarnations.

Yae Rin

When Sakura was young, she had a younger sister named Yae Rin, who was sick from childhood which is a typical sign of great hidden power. In the seventh year of Yae village, it did not rain for a long time and Honkai were manifesting in the forests. The villagers thought that the sacrifice to their village Youkai, the Inari, in the last sacrifice was not sufficient, so they requested to make another sacrifice with the Holy Blood of a Miko. Yae Rin was selected, and the one who was chosen to preside over the sacrifices was Yae Sakura.

Sakura naturally refused to let her sister become a sacrifice, secretly planning to escape with her. Sakura planned to find a doctor to cure Rin's disease, and would go to see the cherry blossoms together.

When the moment when the sacrifice began, Yae Sakura cut the ropes binding Rin and prepared to escape. However, Rin found that she couldn't run, her hamstring had been cut and she could no longer stand up. The Yae chief then took the blade in Sakura's hands and completed the sacrifice. At that time, there was heavy rain immediately from the tears of the Inari. When the villagers rejoiced, Sakura felt hatred and cursed the world that caused her despair. As a result, there was a darkness in her heart, which the malice of Honkai preyed upon.

Miko and the Paladin

Four years after Rin's death, Yae Sakura grew up and honed her swordsmanship and became a hermit in the village, holding herself responsible for the sacrifice staying away from the villagers. Although still gentle and kind, the shadow of Rin's death stood true in her heart.

One day, Kallen Kaslana was found exhausted and unwell from Honkai corruption by Sakura near the riverside of the village. Next to Kallen was a purple box containing the malice of Honkai, specifically the 12th Herrscher from the last civilization who had the power to manifest its thoughts into reality and corrupt both animate and inanimate entities.

While Kallen rested, Sakura was asked by the villagers to defend the village from a Honkai beast attack. Kallen after waking, heard that Sakura was fighting the Honkai beast, and immediately rushed to save Sakura and slew the beast. After that, Kallen vowed to protect her and the villagers. Sakura had never had anyone who defended her, so she fell in love with Kallen.

The sighting of Honkai beasts caused the village to propose another sacrifice. Kallen, remembering Rin's story knew that some innocent girls would die, so she rushed to try and stop it. When Kallen saw The Fox and its manipulator, Kallen attacked them with her powerful will.

But seeing the manipulator opening her mask and black clothes, appearing in front of Kallen, was a possessed Sakura. The Honkai tricked Sakura by preying on her sadness and to stab herself with her blessed Katana that the Core of the 12th fused to release the Honkai will inside her making her it's puppet. She was more than just a pseudo herrscher gaining fox ears. The Honkai malice filled Sakura and left a declaration to destroy the guardian of Kaslana, consequently leading to both of them fighting each other to the brink of death.

Kallen was forced to seal Sakura, and with a broken heart and broken will she returned to Vienna to face execution by Schicksal. Sakura's mind was trapped in a time loop inside the core of corruption where Higokumaru forced Sakura to relive the 4 years between Rin's Death and her fight with Kallen to fuel the core's despair.

Sakura's body was used as a phantom Youkai that would cause Nightmares in people making them go into massacring sprees. This was the beginning of the Sengoku Period/Warring states period that left Japan in chaos for 400 years.

GGZ

Yae Sakura's phantom was found by Kiana and has a fight with Kiana's group while they attended Nagazora's Lotus Academy. After the defeat of Yae Sakura, Higokumaru lost too much Honkai energy to manifest Sakura and it tried to consume the girls, but was defeated by Kiana's group. In the end, Higokumaru was unable to win and had dissipated, allowing to Yae Sakura's last memory of Kallen to be what kept Sakura in this world.

Honkai 3rd Gratitude Arc

In the Manga, Theresa was ordered to go to the Nagazora to defeat a new Pseudo Herrscher during the Selene Battleship event of Chapter 1 in game. Yuna Gao a high school girl with high Honkai adaptability became Higokumaru's next target, so it began to feed her nightmares giving her a poison ability. Yuna's poison injured Teri and she fainted only to wake up to a Phantom Sakura. Sakura was drawn to Theresa from the smell of Kallen's blood. During the period, Higokumaru wanted to kill Theresa but it's weakness allowed Yae Sakura to silence it. Sakura remembered the words of Kallen, and Theresa in a feverish state said "I will protect you" which brought Sakura to kiss Theresa like she wished she did Kallen, thus bestowing Theresa with her own stigmata.

Theresa's DNA having the Honkai Beast Vishnu, could absorb honkai energy, allowing her to obtain Sakura's natural stigmata. The picking up the Demonblade, her metamorphic ichor gave her fox ears akin to Sakura. Judah opened and Blossomed into the Pledge of Sakura, changing the spears into Katanas. The mixture of the holy light of Judah and the Holy flames of the miko enhanced Theresa to a new level.

This new form quickly took care of Yuna, and Theresa returned to Shicksal.

Afterwards

Due to the remaining malice of Higokumaru, Theresa's consciousness was inhaled into the Stigmata Space into Sakura's Loop, in which the past of Yae Sakura's soul was revealed to still be there. Higokumaru tried to force Theresa into a similar state of despair as it did Sakura but her resolve was stronger. In order to save Yae Sakura's soul, Theresa confronted the malice, and succeeded in purifying it with a little help from Mei and Kallen's soul whom acknowledged Theresa as her younger sister. Yae Sakura chose to stay in the Stigmata space whom now had absorbed the soul fragments of Kallen and Rin allowing them to live peacefully.

Sakura Samsara

The Samsara Virtual world is the Schicksal Matrix making a copy of Theresa's memories. Due to the world created by the Core of corruption, Sakura's memories were added too creating a bubble world of Yae village in which our Valkyries can enter and experience her life. This iteration of the story is slightly different as it's suited to fit Honkai Impact 3rd more than GGZ.

First Samsara

In the first Samsara, it shows the current events where Sakura found Kallen. Kallen was eventually forced to seal her away when the Honkai in the box possessed Sakura and made her a Pseudo Herrscher and it's familiar.

Second Samsara

In the second Samsara (Despair Arc), the Honkai in the box manages to control Sakura without the interference from Kallen. Kallen fights the Honkai, but was unable to defeat it. Honkai-possessed Sakura eventually kills Kallen, the cycle repeats.

Third Samsara

In the third Samsara, Sakura managed to regain her consciousness and broke off the purple box's control. She worked together with Kallen to defeat the purple box and purify the Honkai energy that had been leaking into the village. Both were finally able to live a happy and peaceful life from then on.

Soul Throne Raid (4th Samsara)

When Sakura and Kallen were lying down on the meadow, Kallen suddenly sat up and told Sakura that she had to leave. Sakura went to the village to search for Kallen. When she arrived in the village, she noticed the villagers had been acting strangely, prompting her to investigate. She soon found a barrel and inside was a strange creature fox sprite she named Higokumaru (literally Hell dot, but it's a cute name like Demon Button). Sakura brought Higokumaru along on her search for Kallen and fought several villagers who tried to stop her from leaving with the strange fox creature. Higokumaru asked Sakura to bring her to the Celestial Pavilion to help find Higokumaru's memories. On their way there, they encountered monsters and a mysterious mask which triggered some of Higokumaru's memories.

In the Previous Era, a young 12 year old girl named Rin was identified to be the 12th Herrscher however she did not yet manifest her powers. Out of fear the soliders and scientists murdered her in cold blood causing her last will to be vengeance that triggered a sentient virus that seeks to annihilate humanity without mercy as she was struck down.

Upon reaching the top, Higokumaru touched a mysterious sword, causing her to turn into Jizo Mitama, who was later defeated by Sakura. Higokumaru fully recovered her memories, even from when she was the 12th Herrscher in the last civilization, and apologized for the grief she had caused, which Sakura accepted. Higokumaru told Sakura that the Kallen they were searching for was an illusion from her memories. Sakura apologized and said that she knew the real Kallen is no longer around in the outside world. Even so, she still wanted to find the missing Kallen in this stigmata dimension.

The missing Kallen suddenly appeared in her phantom thief persona and stole the Jizo Mitama sword away. Sakura recognized Kallen's voice and went to chase after her along with Higokumaru. When the two found Kallen again, the latter apologized and chained Sakura in order to stop her. Kallen, who had lost her memories, said that she had to take the sword away because it was too dangerous. Sakura reached her hand out to touch Kallen's face and told her that she was here for her, and not the sword.

This made Kallen's memories come back, but the sword went berserk again because Kallen's will was weakened. After the three defeated Jizo Mitama for the second time, Higokumaru offered to use the sword to resurrect Sakura's consciousness into the real world. Sakura declined her offer, saying that staying here in the stigmata dimension is enough for her. The sword was later thrown into the real world.

Goushinnso Momento

In Chapter 12 A Plain of Vigrid, Seele enters a Bubble universe made of Kevin Kaslana's memories of the Previous Era. She meets a warrior named SAKURA who was looking for her sister RIN who was on the 33F of The base. SAKURA was a part of the MOTHs. (The Moth who chases the flame) After the 11th Herrscher devastated the anti honkai forces the disgruntled soldiers took out their frustrations on Rin. This bubble universe plays out the same way Kevin's memories did however Seele witnessing it first hand was something insignificant to Kevin.



Kasumi

Yae Kasumi is a clone created by Kallen Kaslana in the Sanka Saga in order for Sakura's partial soul to live a happy life. This timeline has not yet crossed with the main honkai timeline.
