Firstly, you should nail down just when are you deciding your Sakura from, as it makes the world of difference.

Anime, Fate, and UBW, she's prettymuch a 24-hour Stepford Smiler, and all her bigger issues revealed in Heaven's Feel are not existent. To THAT Sakura, I'd think keeping an option of opening that can of worms is a good idea if you ever wanna up the drama or something.

In general, Sakura, as mentioned, is a Stepford Smiler in a lot of ways. She occasionally displays her stubbornness about certain topics or around certain people (Shirou, Rin, Shinji), but for the most time she soesn't like fighting and aggressive/violent conflict. Even though she knows things are wrong, she'll take it all on herself, bury the panic and worry and other things, and act as if nothing's wrong. Stability and status quo are what she craves the most, as she believes she doesn't deserve nice things (like friends, confidence, Shirou).

She has her bravery, though. It takes, as mentioned, some serious issues in front of her face to bring her to conflict (she vehemently protests Rin's staying over, and disapproves of Saber's presence initially--at core, because they were a direct danger to Shirou's health and her happiness by proxy). And when she's in, she'll plow ahead as best she can--most times fearlessly.

She's also got a barrel of sins. Like her snacking/dieting/gluttony concerns, and the on-going jealousy issue with Rin. And the ability to be horribly stubborn on an issue, moreso sometimes than Shirou.

Her duties as a magus are also something she takes seriously, since it's what she's been brought up to do. She wasn't formally trained like Rin, but has her own understanding of the mage world. In a situation like "trapped in a city/island/fort/wasteland", she might use what knowledge and ability she has to attempt a way out of her predicament.

As far as Heaven's Feel hot-buttons are concerned, be prepped to deal with them. The traumatic childhood, skeevy brother, nightmare-in-flesh grandfather, the gore--even if you don't wanna play that, some games it will become an issue, so prep for the possibility. If it's not post-canon you're considering, you'll have to deal with Sakura's prana issues, which means smut-for-MP, or, like Realta Nua, blood-sucking from people with magic power. She needs it to live or the worms turn her into a husk. If it's AFTER canon, but NOT HF route, you...still essentially have to deal with that problem (unless you're going anime, in which case they skip those details completely so you should, too :3). Finding someone willing to help develop that angle, smut or no smut (fade-to-blacks if your game allows), would be a good step.

A Shirou or Rider around will do a lot for Sakura's peace of mind, no matter the game setting. So I'd recommend that unless you're favoring being a lone-canon warrior.

Hopefully some of this rambling's useful to you?

It'll probably be UBW, yeah, but I'm undecided.

And it was useful, thank you! ♥

A lot of neutral ground to play with and potential for tastier things, in that case.

You're welcome, and I hope it works out for you well. :D
