Sara Bloodlily

"There is a painting that I want to finish no matter what. But before I can paint it, I need to go around the world to widen my knowledge."

- Sara Bloodlily

Sara Bloodlily, known worldwide more commonly by her alias "Mario Rosso" is a member of Akatsuki and a famous painter.

Appearance
Sara is a well-endowed girl with long blonde hair that has 2 colored strands, red and blue, and has purple eyes. Due to her magic, Sara prefers to wear nothing but a smock-apron on her upper body.

Later when given other clothes by Stella Vermillion, Sara wears the outfits in the most revealing ways as possible, usually exposing a great deal of her bra (if wearing one)and cleavage.

Personality
Sara appears to have a rather flirtatious and playful personality, especially towards Ikki Kurogane whom she seems to have a strong attraction towards him because of his "perfect male body". Because of this, she desires to use Ikki as a model for her masterpiece. She seems to have no sense of modesty and initially has no interest in girl-related stuff. But she later becomes interested in the opposite sex and would like to fall in love with someone like Ikki.

Sara has also shown great observation skills when she was taking care of a baby with Ikki and Stella where she immediately understood the crying baby's need and calmed the baby by pretending to breast-feed him and singing an Italian lullaby.

History
Sara lived in the middle of a mountain in Italy and spent a lot of her childhood in bed due to having brittle bone disease. Her father was obsessed with art and spent all his time drawing a certain painting but then he died from his chronic disease worsening. Sara at first hated drawings for taking her father away from her but she decided to finish her father's incomplete work in order to understand him better.

Sara was later adopted by her father’s friend, Kouzou Kazamatsuri who was Rinna Kazamatsuri's father and became Rinna's step-sister. Rinna's father was acquainted with the "Grand Professor", one of the 12 Apostles of Rebellion, who was able to treat her disease. She eventually became a world-famous painter under the alias Mario Rosso, with one of her painting being worth 1.4 Billion USD. She participated in Rebellion activities to pay back the debt from her surgery and traveled around the world looking for the ideal model for her incomplete painting. At some point, likely during Sara's travels through the world, Sara was present during an incident in the Middle-East known as the "Big Cleanup", where she witnessed the abilities of Edelweiss' swordsmanship. This later allowed Sara to create copies of her with her abilities.

Akatsuki Strikes
Sara is seen, along with the other members of Akatsuki, going to Hagun Academy with the intentions of destroying it. After doing so, the participants of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, from Hagun have arrived, and Alice is able to hold the Akatsuki members position. This is, however, revealed to be a ploy, as the people that the students of Hagun Academy struck down turned out to be puppets who were made to look and act exactly like the people of Akatsuki, which was made possible by Sara herself using Trick Art.

After Ikki, Shizuku, Stella, and the Hagure sisters leave the scene, the Akatsuki members are able to defeat the student council members easily. They then decided on going after the Hagure sisters and Stella. When they finally caught up with the Hagure sisters and Stella, they are stopped by Nene, who is able to stop the Akatsuki members by using her gravity manipulation Noble Art. The members of Akatsuki decide to retreat as they had done what they came to do.

Party Crashers
During the party before the Festival, Sara sees Ikki and after she ripped off Ikki's shirt for inspection, Sara discovers that Ikki is her personification of the perfect male body and begs him to model nude for her so she could finish her masterpiece much to Ikki's embarrassment and confusion. She is then knocked out by an angry Shizuku and hauled off out of the party.

Conclusion of the First Match
Sara approaches Ikki again after he and Stella are having a moment and asks Ikki to be her model rather erotically causing Stella grief. However, Stella eventually agrees to let Sara "borrow" Ikki for her masterpiece after Sara offers to paint a portrait of Stella and Ikki in wedding attire for the royal gallery at Stella's home. Ikki who refuses the deal then escapes from the two.

Seven Stars Sword Art Festival Round 2, Begins
In the 2nd round of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, Sara battles Kuraudo Kurashiki. Kuraudo and Sara trade equal blows, with Sara utilizing Color of Magic, while Kuraudo uses Jakkojin, enhanced by his Device's new form. As Kuraudo begins to gain the upper hand, Sara finally activates her strongest Noble Art, Purple Caricature, which gives her the ability to turn her drawings into reality.

Sara summons weaponry, like a missile and a battalion of skeletons, but Kuraudo manages to counter these creations, by utilizing Ayatsuji Itto-ryu and it's final technique, Ten'i Muhou, which he learned from Kaito Ayatsuji after being defeated by Ikki. Sara however, uses her Purple Caricature to summon a copy of Ikki Kurogane himself. Kuraudo manages to defeat the one copy, but Sara defeats him by summoning more copies which overwhelm Kuraudo.

The Rowdy Medical Room
After her battle of Kuraudo, Sara once again tries to get Ikki to pose nude for her, but this time Stella stops her. As Ikki wakes up, he sees Sara being tied up by Stella, greatly confusing him. When Stella releases Sara she quickly leaves, needing to go to the bathroom, when Sara return, she once again demands Ikki be her model, but suddenly the strings of her apron snap, exposing her breasts. Stella, realizing that if Sara's outfit would "malfunction" like this in her match against Ikki, it would distract him and possibly lose him the match, decides that the will go shopping for new clothes. Nagi Arisuin and Shizuku Kurogane also accompany them.

The Warriors' Slightly Boisterous Break
Sara, Ikki, Stella, Shizuku, and Alice go to the mall, needing to hide from the crowds of people that follow them. Per Ikki's suggestion, Alice instructs Sara on cosmetics and clothes, which Sara has no knowledge of, greatly exhausting her. As she tries on some make-up, Alice asks why she works with Rebellion, with Sara telling that she is in debt to Rebellion, as one of their Numbers, Grand Professor, cured her of her illness. Alice attempts to find Sara better clothes but finds out that she can't wear much clothing, as her body is too weak. Alice eventually settles for a more revealing, but safer outfit.

After Alice and Shizuku leave, Stella finds a baby, who appeared in the changing room, most likely having awakened it's Blazer abilities, something that's very rare for small children. As the baby starts crying, Stella and Ikki are helpless, but Sara manages to calm it down, letting it suck on her breasts and singing it a lullaby, which puts it to sleep. While Stella is also asleep, Sara tells Ikki that when she was a child her father spent all her time on painting. At first, Sara hated paintings because they took all her dad's time, but when her father died Sara decided to finish the painting because her father had spent so much into it. She was adopted by Rinna Kazamatsuri's father, Kouzou Kazamatsuri, who helped her treat her illness. Hearing Sara's story, Ikki then promises that if Sara defeats him in the quarter-finals, he will be her nude model. This causes Sara to be more determined than ever.

Seven Stars Sword Art Festival Third Round - Beginning
The next day the quarter-finals begin, with Sara fighting against Ikki. Sara uses her Purple Caricature to create a copy of the world's strongest blazer "The Twin-Wings" Edelweiss. Ikki struggles against this copy but eventually figures out that the copy lacks the thinking of the real Edelweiss, and thus doesn't have her tactical abilities. Ikki manages to use this weakness and defeats the fake Edelweiss.

After this Sara tries to use her Purple Caricature, to create four copies of Ikki, but the real Ikki easily defeats them all, because he knows his own weaknesses. Sara's last effort is using her Purple Caricature to create a giant golem, called "Mario Rosso", but Ikki defeats it and strikes Sara down. Despite being defeated, Sara refuses to give up on Ikki being her model and would like to fall in love with someone like him.

Rising Spirit
Sara, along with Rinna and Charlotte, meets with Bakuga Tsukikage where Rinna apologizes to Tsukikage for Akatsuki's failure in the Festival. Just then, they are approached by Edelweiss, the world's strongest swordsman, who has come to watch the finals of the Festival.

The Festival is Over
After the finals of the Festival, between Ikki and Stella, Sara participates in the party held after the Festival. She is immobilized by the drunken Kiriko Yakushi, who then examines Sara. This greatly displeases Sara. Later Sara goes to the bathhouse with the other girls.

Night of Massacre
Sara, along with Rinna and Charlotte, brings Bakuga Tsukikage to the destroyed Rebellion headquarters, to meet Kouzou Kazamatsuri. They find out what happened thereafter Tsukikage uses his Device to see the event that occurred. Everyone there later learns that Abraham Carter, the strongest Blazer in the Union is coming there with armed helicopters.
