Sakura Minamoto

Minamoto Sakura (源 さくら) is the main protagonist of Zombieland Saga. Before becoming a zombie she was an ordinary girl with nothing special going on in her life. She died in 2008 getting hit by a pickup truck.

Appearance
Sakura has straight, dark rose-pink hair with a section of it brought up with a blue and pink bow and some hanging over her shoulders. Her bangs are brushed to the left side, and she has blue eyes. Sakura, along with the other zombies, have greyish-blue skin, and she supports a large scar across her face.

In her casual-wear, Sakura still supports what would have been her school uniform: a navy-blue and white dress. She also supports white socks and brown school-shoes. As and Idol, she wears a pale pink top with "1" written on it, along with two hearts. Sakura also wears a hot pink shirt with white frills. With the use of makeup, she also manages to get her skin to look "normal."

Personality
Sakura is shown to be an energetic girl when she was still alive. However, that spirit seemed to turn into confusion, worry, and slight fear after she regains her consciousness as a zombie. However, she becomes very passionate whenever she is singing as an Idol.

Episode 1
After getting hit by a pickup truck and dying, Sakura wakes up 10 years later in a mysterious mansion. While exploring a little bit she is attacked by a zombie. When she flees into another room several other zombies surround her. They are quite slow, so she manages to escape the mansion. While outside in the pouring rain, she finds out that she is in Saga, and soon after comes into contact with a policeman. Upon closer inspection, the policeman reels back in shock and points a gun at Sakura. Confused, she turns around and sees herself in the traffic mirror, only to discover that she's a zombie, herself.

The policeman shoots her through the chest and she collapses, but she's a zombie so of course she's not dead, she's already dead. The policeman is knocked out with a shovel and Sakura fully passes out. When she comes to, Kōtarō Tatsumi introduces himself in a rather eccentric manner. Sakura is Zombie 1, apparently, and she is to become an idol to save Saga Prefecture, along with the other six zombie girls. Oh and their first performance is that night.

During their first performance, Sakura has her doubt about it as she is the only sane zombie as of the time. Despite that, the performance was a success even with only headbanging and screaming. During said performance, Sakura regained bits of her memories.

The next day most of the other girls have regained their sanity, Sakura proceeds to greet all of them with a good morning.
