The user raises the hilt of the sword eye level, and hovers it over the top of her shield. A silver glow ilumminates the sword and the user attacks in a downward slashing motion. The attack lacks overall damage, but is used to optimize speed and range in order to stun the target, rendering the target vulnerable for the duration of one post.

The user holds the sword at a diagonal arc, lowering the tip towards the ground, away from her opponent. A pink glowing aura coats the blade as the user attacks in an upward leaping slash followed by a downward slash. The attack is moderately slow, but it's damage output is extremely devastating for an E-Ranked Sword Art.

Yukiko Fujiwara is a famous international popstar icon, Cherry Blossom, using her charismatic charm to entertain her screaming audience. She is a very energetic individual using a lot of stamina to dance on stage for hours on end. She is always the life of the party and often desires to be the center of attention in a crowd. She shows a great deal of enthusiastic endearment as she meets her adoring fan. She is very fiery and ambitious, in achieving her goals and rising to the challenges of being a national icon.

However, her ruthless and materialistic nature has made her neglect her own family. In the budding moments of her popstar career, she easily became a very snobby and arrogant. The clash between who she really is and the idol she is expected to be presents an internal conflict within her that is often reflected in her moody behaviour.


Despite her rough personality, in seclusion she enjoys laying in the garden and staring into the sky. Dancing and singing is amongst her favorite hobbies as a national Japanese popstar and she enjoys playing the piano as well. Music has always been an extremely big part of her life and she has learned to express herself creatively for ways she may not be able to vocally.

She has a vivacious talent in painting and often hangs many of her paintings on walls. She also loves swimming and tanning on the beach. Red Wine is amongst one of her favorite drinks. She enjoys fancy meals, but prefers something homemade.

She will never be caught fishing and absolutely despises touching them. She loves cold tempatures and enjoys playing with snow.

She dislikes PKers and thieves, but enjoys a bit of treasure hunting herself. She loves to travel in large groups and will get bored too easily in a small one. She appreciates flattery, but values respect. She hates liars and bullies. She does enjoy a good duel from time to time to hone her abilities.

Yukiko Fujiwara was very spoiled at a very young age. Born in Tokyo to two wealthy business-oriented parents, Yukiko never lacked for anything. She was always favored by the family over her sister, Takako. They often place her in beauty pageants and she would always win first place. Her parents pushed perfection on her and she was learning to sing and play piano at age 4.

She was a very gifted child who exceled in the arts, and picked up painting along the way as she grew older. She was very happy and vibrant and never knew the trials and tribulations that the poorer Japanese families had as they went on with their meager lives.

Yukiko continued to excel in school, and became quite popular for her performances in high school. During a national competition, she was scouted out by a Japanese record label and they announced that they were going to make her a star. Yukiko was very flattered and began to perform locally in her late teenage years under the stage name, Cherry Blossom, a nickname given to her by her fans for her token pink dyed hairstyle. Shortly after graduating as prom queen, she had more than enough money to live on her own and decided it was time start her own journey to fame and fortune, but at what cost?

Though neglecting her family in the process, Yukiko Fujiwara's music spread across the globe as she began to perform internationally. Shortly after her fourth album, she moved into a two million dollar condo in Tokyo, Japan and lived a very wealthy lifestyle embriordered with glory and fame. In 2022, her newest hit song, Virtual Seduction, reached number one on the charts for J-Pop and reached well over 2 billion views on YouTube.

She dated a famous celebrity named Tsume Hidoyuri for about six months. He proposed marriage and Yukiko outright refused. Tsume started demanding to know why she wasn't saying yes. Things took a turn for the worse as furniture started getting tossed around and the candles he set up for the proposal got knocked over and the cloth set on fire, which spread to the rest of his house, burning it down to the ground in a pile of ashes. When the police and firefighters arrived, Tsume was arrested for domestic abuse and the media covered the entire story and broadcasted it live on national television. Saskia's reputation was scarred and she began to grow homesick.

One day, she received a phone call from her sister Takako, informing her that she just recieved two copies of SAO and her sister asked her if she could spend some time with playing this innovative virtual reality video game with her.

Yukiko was above geeky things such as video games and preferred to spend most of her time outside in the real world. However, she felt guilty and decided to take a vacation and take an hour out of her day to play with Takako. Who would have known that an hour could possibly meant a lifetime?

"What type of freak show is this?" Saskia exclaimed as her masculine forearm sliced through the air at Kayaba. "Grraaahhh! I have a live performance tomorrow and I swear i'm going to sue you for every dime you're worth Kayaba if you don't let me out right this instant!"

Saskia's shouting and flailing about was useless as he ignored her and began clamouring on about a gift in her inventory. Unfortunately, Saskia knew very little about MMOs and was very confused.

"Hey, uhhhmm... how do you work this stupid thing? I swear all this geeky nonsense is getting on my nerves." After finally receiving some assistance from another player, she accessed her inventory and a mirror popped out in front of her. The reflection of the suave and macho guy she disguised herself as when creating her character was replaced by her true identity.

Suddenly, everyone around her started cross-dressing as well or shapeshifting into their true nature. Arms started clinging onto her like tentacles.

"Hey! You're Cherry Blossom!!! You'll help get us out of here won't you?" The assortment of nerds scrambled arround her, pleading for her to save them. "He probably just wants ransom money! I bet you could pay for our freedom. You make all that money from your performances, surely you have some to spare?"

Saskia shook loose and shrugged them off of her. Her voice grew very low. She was disturbed by seeing her fans suffer.

"Listen, I don't think he wants our money. Sounds to me like he's some kind of psycho serial killer. If those news reports are true...then..then.."

Saskia's lip quivered. Her eyes dialated as she remembered her little sister had gone off questing by herself the last time Saskia had seen her. Takako had begged Saskia to join her in a party, but Saskia preferred to wait in the town. She didn't really fancy being around pigs or wolves much.

"Gah! I'm so stupid! Why did I let her go all by herself? I swear if she dies..I..I.." Tears streamed down her face as she began pushing through crowds in a desperate attempt to find her sister.

"Takako-chan...Takako-chan!!!!"
