Sakura/Biography

Early life
Sakura was born on September 4 in, , the eldest child of her family, she has a younger brother and is very close to her father. Due to the way she speak, she likely hails from a conservative background, also her family may not be particularly wealthy as she know the importance of hard working, is used to part-time jobs and is not picky about food. She grew up in a small neighborhood far from the suburbs, overlooking the sea.

After beginning to attend Kazehaya High School, Sakura was placed in the same section of Nagatoro Gamo-chan and Yoshi, 1-C, becoming friend with them and eventually joining their clique.

Being quite popular among boys, since she reach teenhood Sakura had a few relationships although apparently none significant and never getting intimate to any of her exes.

Meeting Senpai
One afternoon, while chatting with her friends on the school's library a second year student walked in trying to stay unnoticed, until the pages of a manga he drew fell on the floor and are immediately spotted by the girls who started to mercilessly criticize it and making fun on him. Then, they received a text from an acquaintance of hers, Youko, who invited them all at a bakery called Mister Donuts, prompting three of them to go, despite actually Sakura has to go to her shift rather than at the bakery, while Nagatoro choose to stay there.

The following day, right after the end of classes, while Sakura walking home with Nagatoro and another classmate, they see the boy from the previous afternoon out of the art club and approached him, however after he gave back to Nagatoro her handkerchief telling he had laundered it, and entered the room, Nagatoro decided to remain there while Sakura and the other girl returned home.

After this, Sakura has apparently been so busy with her part-time job that she rarely has had time to hang out with her friends, also she worked even during the summer break, being unable to join her clique even when they went to the beach or during the summer festival. During this period, she cut her hair shorter.

New semester
The first day of the new semester, after class, Sakura sat at the gazebo in the park close to Nagatoro's home chatting with Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Nagatoro herself when they were approached by a couple of boys who started to hitting on them. When Senpai, who was looking at them from a distance too embarrassed to came any closer, was greeted by Gamo-chan who ask him to sit with them, giving him enough confidence to propose Nagatoro to walk home with him. The girl accepted and was soon joined by her friends, who then leave the two guys behind, only then Sakura recognized him as the "mangaka senpai" they met at the library few months prior; after Senpai asked if it was okay for the girls not staying with the two boys, they told him they were "annoying" and started to jokingly tease him. All five of them smiled heartily.

The next day, Sakura met Senpai at the school and he helped her bring some boxes to her classroom, where they met Yoshi and the other girl who were punished for skipping their club practice and are now forced to clean the class. After a splinter inside the wooden box he was carrying went into Senpai's finger Sakura offered to yank it off for him, while the other two girls immediately dragged him inside their classroom closing the door behind. Passing by the corridor, Nagatoro saw it, eavesdropped from behind the door, misunderstood that Sakura intended to "jerk off" the boy instead of "yank off" the splinter, get jealous and storm into the room angered only to discovered about her error; frustrated yet too prideful to admit it, Nagatoro simply took the tweezers from Sakura and yank off Senpai's splinter herself as her friends applauded.

Few days after this, Sakura, Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Nagatoro watch from their classroom window as the second year students were having a marathon, immediately spotting Senpai and marveling at how poorly he was performing, since he was way behind everyone else.

After the school cafeteria where Sakura and her friends usually chat has been invaded by a group of boys they deemed as "loud and annoying" the girls turned to the teachers but they told 'em to solve it on their own, prompting them to decide to hang out in the art club room instead, while Sakura is working on seducing them one by one in order to sew seeds of jealousy in the group and making it collapse as they all began to compete for her attention.

After Sakura began getting stalked by one of the many boys who compete for her attention and asked Senpai to pretend to be her boyfriend in order to discouraged him from continuing. Jealous, Nagatoro tried to convince her friend to change her mind, calling Senpai "dangerous as a vermin", but she was ignored and caused the opposite effect convincing Senpai to play along with the gal's plan. The following day, being saturday, Senpai and Sakura went on their fake date while Nagatoro, Gamo-chan and Yoshi followed them recording everything with their smartphones. Gamo-chan teased Nagatoro saying it was like an anime plot when "two people went on a fake date but real feeling start to blossom" thus getting her friend frustrated despite firmly refusing to admit it. Before Senpai and Sakura could get too close, Nagatoro captured the stalker and forced him to promise that he would never do it again.

At some point after this, realizing her errors, Sakura made amends to the boys of the games club, becoming their friend and even joining the club herself.

When Nagatoro, Gamo-chan and Yoshi started to toy with the idea of Senpai failing two grades making them "his senpais" and he started to fear the three girls would have enslaved him if that ever happened, Sakura reassured him that it won't happen because other than Nagatoro both she and the other two girls will have to take supplementary lessons due to their low academic results.

Culture Festival
After Nagatoro asked acquaintances in the handicrafts club to made her a perfect Nekotoro costume and posed for Senpai teasing him on making her look sexy, her friends laughed at his embarrassment. Then, the girls started to chat regarding what they planned to do with their clubs or class for the Cultural Festival, with Sakura revealing she has joined the games club and they would organize a VR corner. When Nagatoro asked to Senpai what would be the art club exhibition he stared into space and began remembering the previous year; then, after she woke him up from his memories, he answered that he would probably make an art display, causing the girls to said it would be boring and that they would give him an hand to fire it pu a little. While they all ironically suggested way to made his display more appealing, the boy heard some familiar footsteps and asked them to hid in the prep room right before the President entered with a stern expression. While the President told Senpai she was disappointed for him inviting people and being rowdy, eavesdropping on their conversation hidden in the prep room, Sakura, Yoshi and Gamo-chan all teased Nagatoro saying that beautiful older girl is probably Senpai's ex. After the President informed Senpai that she was thinking about disbanding the club leaving him unable to reply, Nagatoro came out of the prep room with her friends. Sporting a curious expression, Sakura watched as her friend confronted the President, eventually accepting her challenge in Senpai's stead.

After the President left Nagatoro started to do a mocking impression of her with her friends, prompting Senpai to stop them saying that they were the ones at fault and that they had zero chances of victory against her. To cheer him up the four girls all offered to lend him an hand, suggesting to make his display a "kitty-kitty cosplay art café", but Senpai began praising the President's talent telling them of the many awards she won and that the previous year the art club display ranked 6th in the popularity contest on over 50-60 exhibits. Hearing this all four of the girls realized Senpai has quite a crush for the President, much to Nagatoro dismay; however after Senpai shown them the President's picture that gathered so much attention, a nude self-portrait, the shocked girls all realized how it could have been that popular, prompting Nagatoro to said it was a lewd pornographic painting. Gamo-chan told everything the boy has to do was painting something equally amazing, to which Nagatoro replied she would have modeled for him, even wearing a swimsuit if he really begged her. Senpai replied that he wasn't confident enough to being able to match the President's talent, while Gamo-chan pointed out he was actually already losing a lot in term of "material of work", referring the President's massive boobs compared with Nagatoro's petite chest. That made Sakura speechless, knowing Nagatoro would have been offended by it.

After Nagatoro sulk at Gamo-chan for having dissed her, Sakura assisted the latter in explaining why it wasn't her intention to offend her, then Senpai claimed that both Nagatoro and the President are charming in their own way, finally prompting Gamo-chan to apologize to her friend, eventually cheering up Sakura too. Heartened, Nagatoro asked Senpai how she preferred to paint her, however he told her that he didn't want to use her as his model since if he dragged her into that match and lose it would be embarrassing for her. Offended, Nagatoro stormed off the room, soon followed by her friends, all of whom lightly scolded him for hurting Nagatoro's feelings. Over the next days, after Senpai asked Nagatoro to be his model and started doing sketches of her even while eating with the rest of the grup at the cafeteria, saying he wanted to try creating a slice-of-life on Nagatoro.After he shown his paintings to Sakura, Yoshi and Gamo-chan, they were all impressed by them and the latter told him is like he looked at her as a lover, embarrassing both Nagatoro and Senpai. This seem to be the moment in which Sakura, whom previously simply suspected it, had the confirmation of the feelings between the two. Then, the girls sneak a peek at the President's work and, after seeing it, they came back shocked and Nagatoro fainted. Thus, Gamo-chan and Sakura planned to be "cunning" as the President and began to make a plan to fight back against her new work and, although Senpai claimed they didn't needed to do anything weird as it was a problem between Nagatoro and him, they thrown him out of the room telling they would do their best to ready her up. Then the girls choreographed a dance featuring Nagatoro in her cat costume, together with Yoshi and Sakura wearing mascot costumes, the "I'll Bully You Dance" and uploaded it on YouTube making it the talk of the school also selling some related straps, that became amazingly popular.

The day of the Cultural Festival, the girls entered Senpai's display and Nagatoro performed said dance, prompting people who have seen the video began gathering all around the display to be willingly bullied by the so-called "Toro-Cat". A boy complimented the paintings and asked her out, making Senpai jealous, then, although she seemed not interest as always, under her friends pressures she started to act with the boy like she always do with Senpai, causing more and more people to came in order to be treated in the same way. As the hours passed lots of people also went to see the President's new nude self-portrait, however Senpai's exhibition seemed to gathered more interest.

At some point during this, Sakura get tired and, feeling hot, asked her former stalker to swap with her in the mascot costume so she could go get an ice cream; then, at 12:10, Gamo-chan made Senpai and Nagatoro to go get some food saying that Yoshi and Sakura could work harder to fill the void until she came back however, after Sakura revealed she sneaked away and swapped with someone else, Yoshi and Gamo-chan get mad and started to beat the latter.

After the President is escorted away due to her painting being deemed as "too immoral for a school" by the student council, Nagatoro and Gamo-chan forced her to admit they have won the match as she lose due to disqualification and exulted with Yoshi and Sakura. Then, in order to further humiliate her the girls forced the President to wear a skimpy bunny suit and sell their straps all over the school. After getting a sold out they allowed her to go and, when Nagatoro said she would have taken a little walk around too, all of her friends cheerfully realized she was actually planning to go to Senpai to invite him at the live concert and wished her "good luck".

Sometimes later, Nagatoro and her friends invited Senpai to a sushi all you can eat restaurant to have a Culture Festival wrap up party with them since they sincerely intended to celebrate him and the success they had. After Gamo-chan offered Senpai a special recipe that she composed, prompting Yoshi and Sakura to improvise and do the same, feeling jealous, Nagatoro tried to make her own special dish, overdoing it and taking half of the rao for a tarako gunkan and placing in it half of the milt from a shirako gunkan to create, in her words: "a miraculous meeting between and milt that could get someone's stomach pregnant". This shocked the whole gang, prompting even Yoshi to describe it as "disgusting". While her friends scolded Nagatoro for playing with food like that, however, feeling bad for her Senpai decided to try it, finding it surprisingly "delicious".

Coming of winter
One day of the following week, Sakura was chatting in the cafeteria with Senpai and her friends about a group of boys from session 1-A having been suspended for drinking alcohol at the party after the Culture Festival, although the girls criticized those boys for having been "stupid and cocky", Senpai can't help but believe they were habitual alcohol drinker too; he didn't expressed those thought out loud but they guessed it and scolded him for being rude. Then Nagatoro imagined what would have Senpai looked like drinking in a not so far off future, resulting in the group's hilarity.

During the school wide marathon, Sakura and the girls approached Senpai proposing him a race. He tried to refuse saying he'd rather run at his own pace but the group try to persuade him telling that it could be like in the fable of "The Tortoise and the Hare", thus they won't let their guard down, to which he joke that they're more like cats than hares. Right at that time they saw the President overrun them all dressed in her bunny suit since cosplaying was allowed. Thus, the girls get motivated into "beating the hare" and, after Senpai wished them good luck as the President was one of her class top athlete, Nagatoro reminded him that is the tortoise who should beat the hare, thus meaning he was the one who must race her. Although he was skeptical, the girls supported him saying they would have poured their power on him, forming a line to push one another in order to booster his speed, however after arriving a crosswalk Nagatoro and Senpai are separated from the other girls due to a traffic light, then Sakura, Gamo-chan and Yoshi told them that they should keep going and they would definitely catch up with them, which they did few minutes later while Nagatoro was carrying Senpai due to him having twisted an ankle, they help carrying the boy in a sort of human cart quoting that "a tortoise might be slow, but if you give it a booster, then it can fly". Racing all together in said formation, the gang managed to reach the President however, as she was still faster than them, Gamo-chan told Yoshi to run in front of them using her almost superhuman speed to act as a windbreak and increasing their speed, managing to narrowly beat the President, albeit getting disqualified by the teachers because of their formation.

First name arc
Sometime after this, Sakura, Nagatoro and two classmates reunite in their class few moment before the end of lunch break and start to talk about one of them having recently started dating someone in the baseball club. The conversation quickly switch over what types of boys each of them are into and, when they urged the reluctant Nagatoro to answer said question too, Sakura pointed out that Nagatoro used to be devoid about romance but lately seem more "girly" the latter answered that her type of boy is simply "someone who's fun to be with". Then, Nagatoro noticed her smartphone was missing and Sakura suggested she probably left it in "the club room", causing their classmates to ask if the reason she attended that place so much lately was a boy; both Nagatoro and Senpai blushed and the latter - hidden in the closet - panicked causing a noise that drag the girl's attention to it. When Nagatoro went opening the closet she found Senpai inside and, despite at first visibly mad at him, she invented and excuse to distract Sakura and her classmates dragging Senpai out of her class.

The following morning, while walking to school with Yoshi and Gamo-chan, Sakura caught Senpai and Nagatoro while they were holding their hands, she commented in pure delight how brave they were for doing it in public, leading an embarassed Nagatoro to quickly trying to denying it, saying to them that she was merely trying a judo move on him, without sounding believable to anyone.

Christmas
Few days later, after entering the art club room to hang out with them, Yoshi, Sakura and Gamo-chan found Nagatoro intent in choking Senpai in a submission move due to not wanting to answer his questions on the scance she just used to pose for him. While Gamo-chan looked at the picture with nostalgia asking Nagatoro if she wanted to give it another try, Yoshi and Sakura simply told playfully Senpai to surrender in order to get freed from Nagatoro's move.

On Christmas Eve, right after the principal speech to the students, Gamo-chan planned to invite everyone at the karaoke, however Sakura had other plans with an occasional date while Rabi-chan was planning to going out with her boyfriend; thus leaving only Yoshi and Nekoba to join Gamo-chan, resulting in the latter getting quite upset and thus starting a brief fight between the "girls with boys" and the "girls without boys". After Nagatoro denied being Senpai's girlfriend, Gamo-chan told both her and the boy to join them, however Senpai refused using an excuse and is quickly joined by Nagatoro in running off the room. Yoshi and Sakura commented gleefully on how obvious it was that they actually wanted to remain alone, Sakura reconciling with Gamo-chan in the process. Later the girl went on the nurse's office with her date and start to make out with him on top on one of the bed, despite the boy nervously described her actions as "pretty aggressive" and seemed extremely uncomfortable, suggesting they should know each other better before doing that kind of stuff. When Nagatoro and Senpai entered the room to hid from the strict professor Yamaguchi, they accidentally caught them but managed to sneak away remaining unnoticed.

Sakura's strongly against the school protocol deed apparently goes unnoticed by Yamaguchi.

New Year
During the ski trip with their school, Nagatoro, Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura's talent as they managed effortlessy to ski down the pro course greatly impressed Senpai and his classmates. Later, as Nagatoro gave the boy ski training due to his clumsiness, Sakura, Gamo-chan and Yoshi passed by and greeted them. That night, Sakura accompaigned Nagatoro in the night skiing group and watch as Nagatoro invited Senpai to go skiing with them, gently greeting him goodbye after she refused saying he was tired and walking away with her friend. The next morning, she watched as Senpai's classmates ask him to show what he learned for Nagatoro ("his private instructor") however, after he eventually accept, all he managed to do is fall on the snow causing the whole gang to burst out laughing.

Judo Tournament
Sometime later, with the school year nearing its end, Sakura and the others all joined the school's judo tournament. In her first round Sakura was easily defeated as she didn't even try, making a sarcastic remark that she's "more used to pin boys down". Later, while Sakura lamented that her hairs got messy due to the fight, Gamo-chan was defeated by Olympic judo team candidate Orihara, later commenting with her friend that Nagatoro would have to face Orihara in the following round, referencing their past together. Despite Orihara being friendly and telling Nagatoro she hoped to have "another exciting match" with her, the latter leaves the judo hall disconsolate much to Sakura, Gamo-chan and Yoshi's chagrin. Then, Sakura cheered for Senpai during his match alongside Gamo-chan and Yoshi, being positively surprised when the boy managed to put up a good fight and especially when Nagatoro joined them in cheering him. Even when the boy lose by points, Sakura, Gamo-chan and Yoshi commented positively how well he performed, then when Nagatoro decided to fight Orihara they all cheered for her during the match.

First date arc
Out of anger after said event, Nagatoro started to ignore both Yoshi and Gamo-chan at school, sulking at them both; however Sakura act as the peacemaker explaining the two girls didn't mean anything bad with their action and merely felt lonely as Nagatoro spent less and less time with them. Sweetened, Nagatoro forgave her friends and the four of them went to have lunch at the art club room. There, they discovered that Sunomiya was feeding Senpai a bento she made by herself as a way to apologize for what happened the previous day. Upon hearing Sunomiya's plan to make bento for Senpai the whole week, Nagatoro got jealous and offered Senpai to prepare a bento for him the following day, which he refused, not wanting to bothering the girl. All of the girls watch Senpai cooly due to having "made a mess again"; then Gamo-chan convinced him not to be stubborn and accept Nagatoro's offer. Hearing this, Senpai told Nagatoro that he would love to have her bento if she accept to have one from him, wich she joyfully accepted.

The following morning Sakura, alongside Gamo-chan and Yoshi, has a videocall with Nagatoro while she was making bento for Senpai and supported her both when she planned to prepare a special with spicy curry in order to surprise him, than when she accidentally burned it and her sister convinced her to make salmon filled  instead to see him happy rather than surprised.

Field Trip arc
After discovering that their field trip in would have been together with the 3nd years, Nagatoro informed her friends about it and started to hope being in his same group - albeit lying that she was only interested in bullying Senpai during the trip - then Sakura told her that every 2nd year student would have been free to choosen which group join. Due to Senpai's plan being boring and revolving around visiting Buddhist art locations, Nagatoro was the first one to sign up, followed by Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura, out of simpathy for the boy and mutch for the joy of the only other applicants: his two male friends. However, after joining it, they also started to change the program radically: Nagatoro added a trip to Kyoto's aquarium, Gamo-chan added a visit to the base, Sakura an excursion to  and finally Yoshi a jaunt to  in order to feed deer. Senpai tried to convince the girls that there wouldn't be enough time for everything they wanted to do in the field trip's schedule, to which they asked him to remove some of the buddhist temples from the program, prompting the boy to oppose the idea and try to explain the beauty of each statue. Despite impressed by his passion, the girls confessed that they weren't intrested in the statues, prompting Takao, one of Senpai's friend, to suggest splitting the group so everyone would be happy. Albeit a bit saddened, Senpai agreed to said proposal, causing Nagatoro to get angry and storm out of the room. Afterward, Gamo-chan promised to Senpai she would have talked to Nagatoro to made her calm down and proposed to wrap-up the issue, thus the group went back home. Sakura however went back and overheard Senpai talking about his dubts with Sunomiya, thus she explained to the boy that the real reason because Nagatoro got mad was that she was looking foward to enjoy the trip with him.

After saying this she went back home saying Senpai he don't need to thank her. Later that night, the girls had a videocall and Sakura tried to warn Yoshi not to bring too many snacks then, noticing Nagatoro was gloomy, she tried to cheer her up telling her not to pout. During the train trip to Kyoto, Sakura took pictures of and has a commemorative photo with the rest of the group then, due to being too excited, she - as well as the rest of the girls - got briebed by Senpai, who promised to increase the amount of free time the following day if they behave themselves; later she enjoyed the trip for the streets of the city, has lunch at the same table with Senpai's friends (teasing both of them a little, much to their embarrassment), visited a temple and then went back to their hotel to take a bath. Later that evening, after Nagatoro, Gamo-chan and Yoshi suggested to have pillow fight, she, alonside Rabi-chan and Nekoba, told them that, being all grown women, they should have "girl talk" instead. Then Gamo-chan mixed the romance gossip session into a pillow fight to make everyone happy and the girls start to chat: Sakura revealed that she was planning on dating two guys at once after having a fling with her ex-boyfriend's best friend before the former ask her to come back with him; then she listen about Rabi-chan still being deeply in love with her boyfriend and Nekoba dating a former middle school classmate, before suggesting that Gamo-chan has a crush over Nagatoro's older brother, mutch to her friend's embarrassement, and finally cheered for Nagatoro as she admitted that Senpai promised to kiss her if she'll defeat Orihara. During the free activity day the group split and Sakura asked Takao and Hino to accompany her at the Toei Kyoto Studio Park with a flirty mood, causing Nagatoro to warn her to behave, to wich she replied she won't go too crazy with them. The trio seemigly had a good time and later took a picture in ninja outfit together.

Nude modeling arc
One day, after returning to school, Sakura had swimming class alongside her friends and noticed Nagatoro seemed a little down, under Gamo-chan's request the girl open up with the gang about having ended up causing a nude modeling challenge with the former President in an attempt to help Senpai overcoming his anxiety while drawing. Sakura tried to cheer up her friend while Gamo-chan suggested her to simply doing it and becoming Senpai's nude model. Later, she and Yoshi oversaw a swimming contest between Nagatoro and Gamo-chan as the latter made their friend realize why is important for Senpai to do nude sketches.

Training camp arc
When the judo club held their training camp, having Nagatoro's siblings as coaches, Gamo-chan asked for Sakura and Yoshi to be special managers, thus they are called in as well by the club responsible, being greeted happily by Nagatoro and discovering the art club would have held it's training camp together with them. Later on they travelled to the, making several jokes on the homonymy with their friend and singing together  after Gamo-chan suggested to go sailing down the stream; then they followed on bikes as Taiga run 1okm with the girls as a warm up. At the end of the first day of training camp, Sakura and Yoshi proposed the other girls to go at an they have found and are joined by al of them but Nagatoro, who instead decided to go running a little more. Then, the group talk about Nagatoro having to loosen up a bit and, after Gamo-chan commented that, due to her friend's stubborness, she would have had to come up with a plan; thus reaching for Sunomiya and asking for her help. After explaining her the situation and their plan of making Nagatoro interact with Senpai in order to relax; Sunomiya accepted to help them and, while she kept Senpai in the meeting room in order to have him exiting the building in the right time, Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura monitored Nagatoro's position. The plan seemed to work until, at the last time, Taiga and Misaki spot Senpai and asked him to join them in playing Uno and have a little chat, however the boy ultimately refused after sensing Nagatoro outside and instead go to the with her. Later, while celebrating their plan success, Sunomiya, Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura realized that the onsen is actually mixed-gender. A discussion ensue if Nagatoro and Senpai would have "gone wild" or not, even considering to go checking on them, before Gamo-chan stated it would be inapropriate and to let them their privacy and freedom to act on their own free will; however right at that moment Misaki and Taiga - having overheard them - entered the room menacingly asking what were they saying. Then, she assisted at the sparring matches between Taiga and Gamo-chan, resulting in the latter eventually scoring a point and convincing the Nagatoro siblings not to get in the way of Senpai and Nagatoro.

The following day she listen eagerly at Nagatoro bragging about her night at the onsen with Senpai, then she overwatched the girls morning training alongside Yoshi and the club head. After lunch break, Sakura also watched the second sparring match between the Nagatoro sisters, whom is eventually won by her friend. On the final day of training camp, Sakura assisted to Nagatoro's sparring matches with Taiga, and is happy to discover her friend was choose to be on the team for the torunament's team battle as well as Shikki getting appointed new head of the club. Shortly after, she and Yoshi were given free time for the rest of the day just like the club members, so she go enjoying the city with her friends despite, after seeing Nagatoro and Senpai departing to have a date, she briefly planned to follow them, only to change her mind after Taiga intervened, convincing them all to go sailing instead.

Kainan's Big Four
Later that year, on August 27th, she went to the judo tournament alongside Yoshi, Nekoba, Rabi-chan and Asaka to cheer for her friends until the end of the tournament, where they managed to win district qualifiers. The following day she and Sakura go supporting their friends in the individual matches, also keeping Senpai informed via messages; they also assisted at the fight between Fujimin and Gamo-chan, happily celebrating after the latter's victory. Then, they watch both Nagatoro's and Orihara's second matches, being joined in the stand by Senpai, Machida, Hashimoto, Aihara and the Sunomiya girls, before having lunch break all together.

Afterwards she watched Orihara, Asaka and Shikki winning their third match, and complimented Gamo-chan for putting on a good fight despite ultimately losing her third round.
