Usuki, Sakura

臼杵咲良

At the time of the BETA Invasion of Japan, Sakura was residing with her grandfather on Sadogashima. When Sadogashima fell, the pair took shelter in a bunker that collapsed under the weight of the invading BETA, resulting in a massacre. Sakura was the only survivor, having managed to stay undetected inside a metal locker. During the island's evacuation, Komaki Sayoko, who was searching for survivors, found her and brought her aboard a ship carrying civilians and some of the remaining soldiers.
She subsequently became a surface pilot for the United Nations, attaining the rank of 2nd Lieutenant, and joined the 9th Squadron of Special Task Force A-01. She serves in the squadron's A Flight.
