"If you're right in that where I'm from we introduce ourselves by family name first."
She nodded. "Yes, Sakura's my first name. The sakura blossom is... ah, cherry blossom? Nice and symbolic, I'm sure, if for the wrong profession."
To say nothing that her name as a whole was a neat summation of her natural coloration. Pink hair, green eyes? With a name that literally meant field of spring cherry blossoms? Gotta love the parents who figured that one out for you, especially when they hadn't expected it to be quite that apt.
