Twelve years ago in a small run down village a couple had a child, she had bright pink hair and bore her mothers features well, the only downside was that her supposed to be vibrant viridian orbs were dull and faded signaling blindness.

A defect they hadn't counted on, they tried they really did to care for their daughter but in the end they threw her away, left her deep in the forest near the Land of Waves, without ever giving the blind girl a name.

Until by chance a panther, white and majestic with emerald eyes intelligent with the gift of speech, came along and found this two month baby girl, with a disability, he took her in, claiming this human child as his own.

Named her Sakura for her bright fuscia locks and guessing her age in the springtime gave her the last name Haruno, his own name Hyo, he was the master of the forest, moving like a ghost through the tree's unseen but not forgotten and this is their story.
