Introduction

When Sakura was very young, she was given away from her biological family to stay with the Matou family who had always been friends with her biological family. It had something to do with of wanting to avoid competition with her biological sister and as such only one of the daughters was selected to carry on the family's traditions. Zouken Matou, her adopted grandfather, offered to adopt her with the intention of training her to fight in the ways of martial arts seeing as his biological grandson is physically incapable of doing so. Having to endure the cruel training under Zouken and Byakuya, Sakura became an empty and emotionless shell resigned to her fate. When Kariya Matou, Sakura's adopted uncle and her mother's childhood friend, learned of Zouken's intentions, Kariya attempts to liberate her. Unfortunately, Kariya died in his attempt and Sakura was unable to understand Kariya's motivation for trying to rescue her. His death demoralizes her, and she convinces herself that she should not attempt to fight against Zouken.

Sometime later, Sakura met her new brother Shinji, who was studying abroad at the time, when he returned to the Matou house. Though he later came to love and accept his new sister, he bullied her. This ended the day Shinji found out that Sakura had become the heir to the Matou family instead of him and he became harsh with her, just like everyone else in the Matou house. Because Sakura was apologetic and expressed pity toward him, Shinji took that as Sakura submitting herself to him since she displayed no emotion. Sometime after the death of Byakuya, Shinji began abusing her.

Although castigated and humiliated on a daily basis, Sakura maintained her bearings with great stoicism. For the eleven years after her adoption, Sakura grew to resent Zouken for his cruelty and her biological for both giving her away and for never coming to save her. She would eventually meet Maya Selinofoto and the two became friends after a short while and she would be the only one that she could ever open up to her problems. Maya was able to get Sakura out of the Matou household and when Maya was going to go into LAW, Sakura decides to join in as well since wrestling and fighting in general is something that she still enjoys doing
