Biography: She was born into a high-class family her parents having having been given a large inheritance on top of her Mother owning a hospital and her Father a well paid civil and private engineer. She was raised having pretty much anything that she wanted without having to work very hard. One of the first things she really wanted and asked for when she was five was a model of the XXXG-01D2 Gundam Dethscythe Hell. After getting it she wasted no time putting it together with barely any help except with taking the pieces out and the stickers. Her parents were both shocked. Her genius wasn't just limited to Gunpla either. Just about anything similar she could put together easily. As she grew so did the ability extending to almost anything mechanical. However her intrests were squarely rooted in Gundam and Gunpla making her Father furious as he'd wanted her to use her inherent skill to follow his in footsteps. Their disagreements caused numerous arguments between them. She even started going behind her Fathers back to Gunpla shops with her best, and pretty much only, friends Mina and Irene to battle. There she found that her knowledge also gave her a talent for piloting though not enough to overcome differences in skill by much she was able to pick it up quicker than most. Eventually her Father found out about it and started a huge argument between them unlike any of the ones before and ended with an accident. The result was both of them injured and in the hospital, her for several weeks and him for two, and them coming to an understanding. Afterwards Sayuri was able to keep doing Gunpla unhindered as long as she kept thinking about how to make a reliable living. When she was thirteen she began collecting spare parts and trading with other students and people at the shops and events she visited. A year later she began gathering rarer pieces and setting up small stalls to trade and sell the pieces. She even began creating and selling custom pieces after someone asked about a piece she was making and wanted one themselves. Her trading quickly grew into a full fledged business. When she turned 16 she got her parents permission to move out and started a small shop in the nearby city with Mina and Irene. It was available to all kinds of people. It sold premade kits for casual builders, individual parts for sale or trade for battlers, and custom parts and other services for the hardcore and professional Build Fighters. It became popular rather quickly due to the variety. Though she's never participated in a large competition herself she's had presence at the past two World Championships. She sponsored participants in each one making it to the top 16 the previous year. She also had a booth that same year. She decided to enroll mostly to gain strength as a pilot and see what else she can learn from the school.
Gunpla: Her primary Gundam is a modified version of the ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam that she calls the Destiny Blade Gundam. It looks mostly the same with several coloration and equipment tweaks. The blue plating is now black, the main red pieces are darker, smaller accent pieces are now dark blue, the white is now a 60% shade of gray and the signature yellow v was removed.
