Okay so I’ve recently become obsessed with classpect analysis, it’s just so cool seeing how a character’s classpect can permeate their lives cause it makes you think and backtrack and see how it all lines up. So a couple days ago I had this completely random thought: What would Sakura Katana-chan from Sugoi Quest for Kokoro’s classpect be???

And I think I’ve figured it out: she’s a Prince of Space. (yes I know princes are male-exclusive but fuck that shit)

Allow me to explain (thanks to @homestuckexamination for the class explanations! check out their stuff!):

Princes actively either destroy or destroy through their aspect for their own benefit. They have strong personalities and sets of values that they tend to impose upon others. They can be egotistical and destructive, threatening to be harmful to those around them and even themselves. At their best they are diligent, skilled, and hard to break, but at their worst are toxic, rude, and arrogant.

The Space aspect has to do with outer space, creativity, imagination, journeys/distance, and objects (more specifically object properties, such as shape, size, etc). Not to mention Space players tend to have a big part in shaping canon in a story.

Sakura-chan’s status as a Mary Sue already cements her as a major piece of the puzzle. Her over-the-top attitude, toxic influence, and violent actions throughout Sugoi Quest for Kokoro ends up spiraling into a destructive rampage that changes everything forever.

The madness begins in episode two (though she does show Prince-like behavior even in episode one), when Sakura-chan somehow destroys a glass of water in her hospital room in her sleep (destroying objects in the space around her) while having what seems to be a prophetic nightmare of sorts. I see this as her awakening her Space powers somehow, maybe through her recently activated Neko Powers? Doctor-chan did say they were highly dangerous and could end up killing her. She then soon after leaves the room without a trace and heads to school-chan (destroying space (as in distance)/possible teleportation). 

As she goes, she spots her friend Terezi-chan walking with Karkat-kun to school-chan, which enrages her and she proclaims that she’ll “get [her] for this”, distancing herself from her friend, which in the long run will end up ruining their friendship entirely (destroying through space). After she arrives and goes to class, she snaps Terezi-chan’s spatula in half in rage, then throws a loud tantrum when the teacher tells her to go to the principal’s office. Then, when Vriska-chan uses Neko Powers to transform and become more powerful, Sakura-chan destroys her fantastical methods of attack with an incredibly simple and anticlimactic solution: she pops one of her humongous hungolomghononoloughongous, and then kills her before once again leaving without a trace, seeing as the police-chan didn’t arrest her on the spot. It is also at this point that she officially cuts herself off from Terezi-chan, clearly stating her intentions to kill her over Trollian later that night.

In episode three, Sakura-chan reunites with an old friend who she doesn’t remember whatsoever (once again destroying a relationship through space/distance), Ookami Kitsune-chan. When Ookami-chan is leading her to the school-chan's secret back entacne, they come across Flayme Rayven. Thinking she’s been set up, Sakura-chan uses her badonkers to grab and throw Ookami-chan into the far distance (destroying through space; increasing the size of an object). Not to mention how she ends up defeating Flayme-chan; once Flayme-chan insinuates that Sakura-chan is a weeaboo, she immediately ends their anime sword fight by shooting lasers out of her eyes and killing her instantly (destroying creativity by ending the sword fight and destroying through creativity (the eye lasers)). Afterwards, she learns of Terezi-chan’s tragic passing and is overcome with grief, though this could be solely because she couldn’t be the one to personally kill her.

All of this comes to a head in episode four, after Sakura-chan is finally placed in prison-chan for her crimes and is given a life sentence. She bemoans and laments her current situation, however when she realizes that she’ll be late for school-chan, she quickly breaks out by literally breaking through the side of the prison-chan. She then realizes that it’s Saturday, so there’s no school-chan for the day. As she walks off, a revived Terezi-chan with Neko Powers (and thus potentially awakened Seer of Mind powers???) stops her. Sakura-chan quickly transforms and attacks, but Terezi-chan sees through her plan and manages to beat her ass, and Sakura-chan is sent to hospital-chan once again. Doctor-chan scolds her for her reckless and constant use of her Neko Powers, telling her that she will die if she does so again. However, Sakura-chan maintains the idea that she needs her Neko Powers in order to become stronger, and in doing so distances herself from Doctor-chan, who is only looking out for her safety. And despite his insistence that she specifically NOT take the magical neko charm in the room, she does so anyway and demolishes her surroundings by transforming into a giant magical rainbow neko as prophesied by her nightmare from episode two. 

She then unleashes the epitome of what can be considered a Prince of Space’s abilities when Karkat-kun is accidentally killed by his mother, MILF-sama: she destroys the planet, and it was her own insatiable ego that led to all of this in the first place.
