Description
A new engine OC made for a Halloween special I'm planning for next year titled "The Slit-Mouthed Engine".

Here's a bit of backstory for Sakura, just to give you an idea on what the special will be about:

Sakura was built to assist with the increased passenger workload. During her time working, she met and befriended Hiro, who at the time, was one of Japan's most reliable heavy goods engines. However, Sakura had one thing that would later lead to her downfall. She was a kind-hearted and very beautiful engine, but her beauty started attracting the attention of the controller of the line, who would have made Timothy's old controller look like a saint. After being approached by a gentleman from Britain about the possibility of purchasing one of the engines, the controller tried to push for Hiro to be purchased, but the Englishman insisted on Sakura, which struck a sour note with the controller. That evening, Sakura was idling in a siding, waiting for her evening passenger train to be ready, when the controller approached her, looking like he had just snapped. Sakura was about to ask what was wrong until she saw a katana in his hand. He proceeded to berate her for allegedly ruining his chances at selling Hiro and blamed it on her beauty. She tried to beg him to stop, but as she spoke, he slit her mouth with the blade, then left her in agony. Hiro, having heard what happened after finishing a goods run, takes Sakura to the works right away, and while they couldn't fix her mouth, the workmen cut a smokebox door from an old engine in half and used it to cover the lower half of her face. However, while she was grateful to Hiro for helping her, she swore revenge on the controller and anyone in his family who agreed with what he did.

Sakura belongs to me, the sprites of her were made by . Go check out her gallery if you're fans of both Thomas and MLP:FIM, she's good at what she does.

*UPDATE*

Sakura's livery was changed upon suggestion to help her blend into the night much more.
