Character: Shiina Sakurako
Series: Mahou Sensei Negima! (manga)
Age: 15
Canon: Ah, Negima! It's that series about the mage, the other mage, the demon, the princess, the ninja, the time traveler, the magical girl, a third mage, the vampire, the... well, you get the picture. With all this insanity concentrated in one boisterous Japanese middle-school class, what's an oblivious cheerleader to do? Add to the crazy in any way she can! Shiina Sakurako may not know nothin' about magic or fighting, but she was born for the Mahora cheer squad; she's always ridiculously happy, loud, and hyperactive. The sheer force of her airheaded energy keeps her friends guessing what she'll do next - and, sometimes, how best to stay out of it, especially when it involves people getting naked. She's really a very ordinary girl who adores cats, playing the drums, karaoke, THE BURNING CHEERLEADING SPIRIT INSIDE OF HER!!!, cute things, making up slang, and shopping with her friends.
But there is one more thing this bundle of energy loves: gambling. Since she was a child, Sakurako's had a hobby of playing games and starting betting pools on any event she can think of. And who can blame her? After all, Sakurako somehow manages to win any bet she makes, no matter how much of a long shot it is. Her unusual luckiness even allows her to do things like navigate a complicated magical maze based purely on gut instinct. There's something almost magical about it...

OKAY~! LET'S GO!
Walk into the Mess Hall and what do I see?
Tuesday morning's breakfast lookin' back at me!
Loudspeaker's blasting at us, what do I hear?
A hundred happy campers crying out in fear!
Firecracker, firecracker, boom boom BOOM!
Firecracker, firecracker, boom boom BOOM!
Gorillas got the muscles!
The zombies got the brains!
The girls, we've got the sexy legs and weeeiyaaaaaa, you perveeeeert, you're supposed to be trying to pin down the other -
E-eheheh! Sooooorry about the interruption, everyone! It looks like we've got it all sorted out now! Naughty wrestler, cheerleaders are for looking at and listening to, not for licking! Come to think of it, cheerleaders are usually for football, too, and not wrestling... but watching the two of you, I had to offer my support as a member of the Mahora cheer squad! My fiery cheerleading heart was completely awakened! I can feel it beating in time with your every - oooh, well, I'm not sure what you're doing to your opponent now, and I'm not sure I want to. But I support it! Go fight win!
Hey, wait - there's no way you're going to win if you just force him on top of you and groan a lot! 2, 4, 6, 8, don't you want to dominate? Boooo, I think this guy needs a little more than my spirit to stage a comeback. You have to eat right, for one thing, and chewing on your opponent's head doesn't count as protein! It's too late to teach you proper nutrition tonight, but it would help the competitive energy a little if this crowd weren't completely dead and rotting... think, Sakurako, what can a cheerleader do to get everyone on their feet when the home team's on its back? Heh heh, I've got it! Let's make this a little more interesting, fellas! ♥ Now taking all bets on this evening's fight! Taking all bets! Any takers? I'll give you four to one on old "One Arm" Smith!
Ehhhhh!? Waaaah, what is this? It's no crime to be a little short on money, but I won't take the shirt off your back, especially not when part of your back is still attached to it! And why a bra? It's a "double-d or nothing" bet? Bzzzzt! WRONG! Okay guys, listen up! It looks like old "One Arm" is down for the count anyway, so let's give tonight's competitors a round of applause and some privacy because it looks like they could use it, and I'll give you all a special, one night only crash course on the exciting and profitable world of responsible gambling!
We can start off simple, okay? I happen to have my lucky dice with me, and Cho-Han Bakuchi is super easy! I need a volunteer dealer to just put the dice in this cup and shake 'em up, and - let's not worry about the payoff right now, but we all make a guess on whether the dice come up odd or even! Now, this isn't craps, so we're not taking fire bets. Don't look so disappointed, cute little sizzling duckling! Just follow your heart! ♥ Hee hee hee... as for me, my money's on snake eyes! Everyone's placed their bets? Aaaaand spill 'em out!
...Ewwww, gross! ...Well, I guess those are snake eyes. Sakurako wins again! But heeeey, can I get my lucky dice back?
