Fortunes Collide: The Evolution of Ichiko Sakura

Prompt: Ichiko Sakura (桜 市子 Sakura Ichiko) is a high-school student with a inherent trait of being extremely lucky who is the main protagonist of the series. She is the reincarnation of Kanna, a girl with abundant Fortune Energy who traveled the land centuries ago helping those in need. Due to the high amount of endless fortune energy she possesses, Ichiko has been gifted with the highest level of beauty, good-looks, brains, intelligent, intuition, perception, strength, brawn, luck, charm, eloquence, wealth, will, humor, health and vitality possible. Ichiko is a beautiful young teenage girl of average height, with perfect fair skin, green eyes and notably gray hair. She has a very well-endowed body, something she is quite proud of, and tends to often use them to mock Momiji Binboda due to the Misfortune God's comparably flat chest. Despite her looks, she is also extremely intelligent, and naturally very strong (strong enough to single handedly throw a bath tub with great force with ease). Her immense and endless luck makes things go her way, she excels in whatever she chooses to do, her luck is so strong that it protects her from harm, she gets out of dangerous situations even when unconscious without getting harmed and without trouble (such as that time her classmates made her unconscious and got some guys to attempt to assault her, she got away without getting harmed all while remaining knocked out). Due to her gorgeous appearance and bountiful assets, she is quite popular in school among the male population, while the majority of the female student despise her for garnering all of the attention. She is normally seen wearing a school uniform consisting of a white and light blue short-sleeved shirt, a brown vest, a red bow tie, a short blue checker-pattern skirt, knee-high black socks, and brown shoes. In the final chapter, Ichiko has cut her hair even shorter, her facial features look even younger than when she was a child and she wears a flower hairclip. Unparalleled Luck Immensity - She possesses an extraordinary, godlike, infinite amount of luck or good fortune that swiftly erases almost any trouble she encounters. Her luck also gifts her with superhuman beauty, attractiveness, intelligence, health, agility, libido, perception, senses, intuition, instincts, humor, wealth, willpower, talent, brawn, aura, eloquence and charisma. She possesses a perfect body as a living being from birth. Furthermore, even without training, her muscles are well-toned, and her perfect body and body shape doesn't change no matter how much calories she intakes. Her luck protects her from any kind of harm possible. She is gifted with an automatic infinite supply of luckiness. However, she has no control over this power, as things considered "lucky" just randomly happen to her. Ergo, nothing bad happens and if it does then it will always play out in her favor. People always tend respond positively towards her. All aspects of her life improve drastically: love life, work life, personal life, financial life and basically life as a whole become easier, happier, and luckier altogether. Her luck makes reality go her way - like easily winning a lottery, etc. - as if reality is constantly being rearranged to her advantage. This allows her to find success in all activities and aspects of life, to surpass impossible odds, and to defeat unbeatable opponents. Whatever she needs or desires, ideal opportunities will spontaneously present themselves, opening new paths to wherever she wishes to go. She possess infinite latent potential that can manifest in many forms and be unlocked in many ways, depending on the context and circumstances. Enhanced Strength - She is able to lift heavy objects - even bolted bathtubs - with a single hand and throw it with enough force to break through a wall. Her enhanced strength may be sourced from the unnatural luck she posses. She is also capable of knocking out adults with ease, such as Bobby, who groped her from behind, while she is depressed. Luck Absorbing Aura - While she possesses godlike luck, she also has the ability to absorb other people's luck which can sometimes lead to tragedy or death. However, her luck-absorbing aura can be sealed by a special item, and the luck she absorbs can be taken and redistributed. Even after that happens, her natural godlike luck remains. This power is continuous and passive. At the start of the series, Ichiko is noticeably self-absorbed and uncaring towards those around her with the sole exception of her butler, Kikunoshin Suwano. Due to unfortunate experiences with a friend in the past, she remained emotionally distant from others, having built up a metaphorical wall around herself so that she would not experience that same emotional trauma again. These events fostered a strong refusal in her to accept the value of friendship and emotional bonds to the point where she would spurn all attempts by others to get closer to her, even using the affections of her male admirers to gain favors from them without giving anything in return. Since her fortune levels were so unnaturally high, she unknowingly began absorbing luck from others, causing misfortune to others. Even after being made aware of this fact, she remained unconcerned for the well-being of those around her. Despite her initially cold nature, Suwano had faith in her inner kindness and hoped that she would one day open up her heart to others, something which she slowly accomplishes as the series progresses. Beneath her sweet exterior and good looks hides a fierce personality which she usually tries to conceal in public. As such, Ichiko possesses a remarkable temperament and an inherent mean streak, often causing her to react violently towards those unfortunate enough to anger her. Using a magical item given to her by Bobby known as the Somin Shōrai, Ichiko can manifest her fortune energy into stuffed animal-like versions of the Chinese Zodiac. When extracted from her body, Ichiko's fortune energy can be given to others who are in great danger in order to help them. Despite the cute appearance of her familiars, the creatures are strong in combat, able to overwhelm even deities in direct combat. Momiji notes that the explosive power hidden behind an innocent facade is largely a representation of Ichiko's personality. Over time, Ichiko slowly begins to trust people as she spends time with and learns to empathize with others. This is first seen after her "fight" with transfer student, Ranmaru Rindou. Despite the initial dislike that sparks between the two girls, Ichiko begins to take an interest in her tomboyish nature and family life. After seeing Ranmaru's father admonish his daughter for buying girlish clothing instead of furthering her martial arts training, Ichiko stands up to him for being so strict, gaining a degree of honest respect from the Rindou family. Although she denies this act as a sign of caring for others, she finally accepts Ranmaru as a friend when the latter risks her own life to save Ichiko. Following this event, Ichiko opens up more and begins establishing bonds with other people, her cold exterior slowly melting away as she undergoes more adventures alongside her newfound friends. Over time she opens up to Momiji Binboda as well, eventually realizing that the Misfortune God's interference had actually improved the quality of her life. Ichiko's homemaking skills are minimal due to having been cared for by Suwano her entire life. As such, she has a habit of leaving her garbage lying around the house and hiring cleaning services to clean her house. She is a notoriously bad cook, her attempts to prepare food leaving her kitchen in shambles, while the resulting dishes are inedible even to deities. Age 17 Gender Female Birthday April 16th Height 164 cm (5'4") Weight 48 kg (106 lb) B-W-H 96-60-85 Hair Color Silver Eye Color Green Voice Actor Kana Hanazawa (Japanese) Brina Palencia (English) Occupation High School Student Relatives Shiori Sakura (Mother) Kazuma Sakura(Father) Having been raised by Suwano in lieu of her perpetually absent parents, Ichiko developed a deep affection for her loyal guardian that surpassed that of what she felt towards her mother and father. She grew up in a sheltered environment and was originally a shy and lonely child until a girl named Kurumi befriended her. The two quickly became best friends, but things changed for her one fateful Valentines' Day in grade school. Before exchanging chocolates, Kurumi asked her to whom she was giving hers to. Ichiko planned on presenting hers to Yuusuke, who was supposedly the nicest boy in their school, but the situation escalated when Kurumi mentioned that she also liked Yuusuke. On Valentines' Day, Yuusuke gave his chocolate and a special gift to Ichiko, showing that he returned her feelings. Annoyed by this sudden turn of events, Kurumi instead demanded the beret from her friend. When Ichiko refused to hand it over, Kurumi threatened to confess to Yuusuke about her true feelings. Although Ichiko finally gave up her gift to preserve their friendship, Kurumi still confessed to Yuusuke. He admitted to liking Ichiko, but Kurumi lied and told him that Ichiko gave the gift to her because she did not care about his affections, causing him to coldly ignore Ichiko out of scorn. Having overhead Kurumi talking about the lie behind her back, Ichiko ran home with a broken heart and scars of betrayal, her only source of comfort being that of her butler, Suwano. The next day, Kurumi apologized to Ichiko and returned the gift, but Ichiko refused to forgive her. These events caused Ichiko to develop a jaded view towards other people in order to protect herself and avoid being betrayed again. Despite her rather unfortunate emotional issues, Ichiko was born blessed with a large amount of fortune energy, granting her beauty, brains, and good health in addition to her family's impressive wealth. Over the years she gained many male admirers while being disliked by other girls, but she largely distanced herself from everyone, and thought little of making friends. Momiji Binboda - Ichiko hated her when they first met, but she didn't realize that Momiji's actions are saving her and others. Despite being bitter enemies and opposites, Ichiko and Momiji influenced each other as they begin to change slowly. Although they are antagonistic towards each other for most of the time, they have been also shown to be quite friendly with each other, especially in Episode 07. In the manga they make a special bond and became good friends, and it's hard to part ways when the time come. It could be considered their relationship as "frenemies". Kikunoshin Suwano - He is Ichiko's butler who took care of her during childhood. Even though Ichiko has no friends, she loves her butler for being there at her side. She loves to read his postcards. Keita Tsuwabuki - At first, Ichiko tries to make Keita her boyfriend to get people to be jealous of her. When she meets Keita's family and sees how he refuses to be dependent on her money, Ichiko learns what she has been missing in her life: A family. This epiphany comes in when Momiji shrinks Ichiko back to a little girl. As she lives with Keita's family, she sees how happy Keita is with his siblings. She truly falls in love with him, she confesses in the manga and they are now a couple. Ranmaru Rindou - Ichiko and Ranmaru didn't get along at first, until she asked her to help her act like a feminine woman. When Ichiko finds out that Ranmaru's father did not allow his daughter to be feminine, she challenges him. Just when Ichiko is about to defeat him, Ranmaru jumps in and blocks her blow. This event helps improve the girls' relationships with each other. When a jealous classmate captures Ichiko and has some guys beat her up, Ranmaru intervenes to help her. When the building is about to fall on Ranmaru, Ichiko saves her instead. Ranmaru asks her about her story, and Ichiko finally reveals her tragic story about a friend who betrayed her. From that point, the two of them become good friends. Kazuma Sakura - Ichiko hated her father for never being there for her, and never having the free time to play with her when she was growing up. Even when he shows back up in her life in chapter 42, she still wants nothing to do with him, they only manage to reconcile because of momiji's interference, which traps her father in dream state, which forces her to confront him in the dream and wake him back up to reality, At the end of his visit she states that while she is still angry at him for leaving her alone for most of her life and she doesn't believe they can be a true family until far in the future, she wouldn't mind if he came to see her when he is in town on business. Momiji Binboda (紅葉), is a God of Misfortune (called a Poverty God in the dub) whose duty is to restore the energy balance on Earth by stealing the overwhelming Fortune Energy from Ichiko. She at first seemed to be the antagonist in the series, always tormenting Ichiko, but soon controls her anger and helps Ichiko be a better person, making her the deuteragonist of the series. Momji Binboda is a modest woman who loves to cosplay. She is 5'2" tall, and her measurements are 30AA, waist 57, and hips 79. Her appearance is always changing throughout the anime due to the comedic attitude. Her most common outfit is a yellow shirt with green stripes, a red dress with overalls attached, and is sometimes seen wearing a single brown shoe. In the latest episode, Momiji had the persona of Luffy from One Piece. She has blonde hair with long bangs that cover one eye, orange eyes, and is "flat-chested." A God of Misfortune who is sent from another world to restore the energy balance on Earth by stealing the Fortune energy from Ichiko, although her Misfortune energy often loses out to Ichiko's Fortune energy. Her right arm is so concentrated with misfortune that she wraps it up in a cast, using it as a support for various gadgets such as syringes. She is also capable of transforming into a spirit form in order to pass through barriers. She is constantly clashing with Ichiko as she tries to steal her Fortune energy, becoming particularly irritated and hostile when her flat chest is made fun of. Nonetheless, she often finds herself taking pity on Ichiko, often encouraging her to try and use her Fortune energy to help others and find companionship. She can also be scatterbrained and lazy, but she is prideful and determined in her mission to take down Ichiko. She can be silly at times when she cosplays. Whenever she takes a bath in the human world, she loses her Misfortune energy and changes to a brighter personality, but will return to normal if made dirty again. this is a story that take place in the world of Binbougami ga the main character is a boy who name is name ash and Ichiko Sakura who swap body with one another they is no way to swap them back and ash keep all of Ichiko Sakura good luck ablity in her body also when they swap their pronouns are their new body pronouns so ash will have her and she and any other female pronouns when people are talk about him and Sakura get any pronoans males get and they are talk about like their are the person who they become so ash is call Ichiko and Ichiko is know as ash no one know of the swap between them this is all form ash point of view by the way even with all of Ichiko luck he had to put up with all gender Normals that Japen students have to deal with as a girl like wear a skirt to school be stare at by boys and everything else that happen to Japanese girls make sure this is after the swap and that ash think with his old name so we the read can know who talking for both of them but not anyone else in the story also ash does not feel well as a girl thank to gender dystopia but what every cause the swap force them to live each other lives without change anything that they won't do go thought a normal day and summer at the beach in a swimsuit the original Ichiko bought before the swap with for ash let see how he handle bing a girl that a boy on the inside with no way to become a boy allow to him forever trap as a girl.
