It had been a few years since the young idol, Yumi Yukimura, hit it big. It was all rather sudden. Haruto Nomura, her manager, had appeared to her when she was only eighteen. She had been traveling with her working parents in Europe, something she had been doing since she was much younger. Her unusual appearance had grabbed many people's attention, including the then-talent scout. He made an offer to the young pale Japanese woman with pearl white hair. Her deep blue eyes stared at him in shock as he made promises to make her famous. She stood at five feet four inches, her lithe frame perfect for fitting into an outfit or two he had lined up for a lucky girl or woman. It was strange, but her parents encouraged her to take up the offer. They would be with her the entire time, and it wouldn't hurt to take a few pictures. Besides, they doubted she would take over their company as international caterers. Perhaps this was her calling?
As luck would have it, the young woman's pictures started spreading across the internet. Haruto hadn't stopped at a picture or two, throughout the weeks and months, he kept having Yumi come back to the studio and take more and more pictures. It appeared to have been worth it. Comment after comment, video post after post, Yumi's photos were suddenly everywhere, and the people loved her. They loved her hair, how pretty and pure it looked. It made her appear almost angelic. It was no surprise in this day and age, with the internet and how advanced smartphones were, that she became viral. It took a few months, but something somewhere clicked, and she blew up. Ah, perhaps it was that video she took and let Haruto post online... She had gotten a few hits on one image, and she wanted to thank those people for their support. From that video, people were shocked to see the white-haired, blue-eyed girl speaking fluent Japanese. Despite her very Japanese name, people still doubted just on images.
Yumi simply shrugged it off, laughing. Before she was an outcast, her fellow students bullied her; now she was famous. An idol in high school, at that! Honestly, she liked the attention. No, she loved it. For once in her life, she received compliments for her appearance that weren't from her parents! She managed to finish high school on a positive, popular~, note. She had made Haruto her manager during that time, and she started up social media accounts. For once, she was happy.

Three years had gone by, and Yumi was in bliss as an idol. She used her skills on the piano to play and sing, releasing a few singles over time. She had appeared in some commercials, giving her even a little acting experience. But... It wasn't enough for Yumi. After learning about the world of VTubers, she wanted to join in. Being able to entertain anonymously online behind a cute anime character? It was a no-brainer that she was into the idea. She wondered how long it would take before people would figure out who was behind the model. It was easy for her to obtain the needed equipment, and she had far too much fun creating the character. She made up a name, a backstory, and commissioned artwork from one of her favorite artists. It had been nearly a year since she debuted Sakura Lily, an angelic fairy.
As she collabed with some of her favorite creators, growing more and more popular each day, she tried her best not to reveal who she actually was... Up until her secret was out. It had taken a few months, but enough people had pieced things together. Sure, her birthday was the same as her model's. She blamed the fact that she hadn't exactly hidden her voice and schedule, unable to stream when she was doing very public things. It was only a matter of time, and Yumi could only shrug it off. She found she had more fun when people knew Sakura was her.
It was only natural that Haruto would become Sakura's manager, accepting deals that would be good for her image and aid in her growth.

After yet another meeting that day, Yumi was exhausted. Her manager wanted to escort the tired idol home, but other obligations grabbed his attention, leaving her to go home by herself. She had posted on Twitter her plans on returning home from her meeting (her first mistake) to do a general hangout stream as Sakura. The train ride was quick, and Yumi headed for her apartment. It was a short walk from the station, unbeknownst to the distracted idol, someone was following not too far behind. Entering her home, the space was as comforting as she could make it. The curtains were light pink, along with her bedspread. Really, the space looked like any typical young woman's apartment. She went into her bedroom to change into comfortable clothes: a simple black t-shirt and a dark blue skirt, and settled herself at her desk. She had gotten into the pink everything fad, not like it wasn't already one of her favorite colors. She had one of those gaming chairs with the rabbit ears, much like the cat ear headphones that she put on, starting up her computer.
