| “ | Know my name fox...I am Ceri, the adventuring knight! | ” |
Ceri is one of the main characters and the first character capable of learning Capture. An adventuring knight skilled with a blade and experienced in dungeon delving, Ceri is the first playable character available. She solves a puzzle to free Yomi, then fails to defeat her and becomes enslaved. Not under a contract to Yomi, she must help the former Dungeon Lord take back her ownership of the dungeon by traversing through all of the levels and defeating its current owner. Ceri starts at Level 2.
Progression[]
Ceri is arguably the strongest character in Sakura Dungeon, with only Sylvi and Yomi providing any meaningful competition for much of the game. While she starts out essentially a weaker version of Warrior, she won't stay that way long.
Key to Ceri's power is her unique trait, Capacity. Ceri will level up her stats on her own without a single stat seed needed; every odd level up gives her another point. So long as you keep leveling her up, she will continue to get stronger and stronger.
While Ceri starts off with Capture, when Yomi becomes an available party member, she may trade it for Astral Blade. This is an incredible upgrade, as Astral Blade is insanely powerful and capable of one-shotting most enemies.
Personality[]
Ceri is known to be brave. She seems to be a bit of a loner as when not in the dungeon she enjoys spending time by herself. She has been on many adventures and has a vast knowledge about the kinds of traps and dangers one can find in a dungeon. She gets embarrassed when it comes to the lewd things Yomi plans for her but generally enjoys being teased. She was never good at negotiating and would usually let the others at her guild do the talking.
She has a love for pandas and thinks they are extremely cute.
Background[]
Ceri's parents are farmers. When she was very young they sent her away to the Adventurer's Guild in the hopes that Maeve would teach her to become a knight, If she happened to fail in her adventures though they had arranged for her to be marries to an unknown person. When investigating a dungeon she discovered a sealed Yomi and accidentally freed her. She was then defeated and enslaved by Yomi, who in her weakened state relied on having Ceri fight and capture monsters for her.
She has been known to have had many near death experiences from her time as an adventurer. Her past adventures include:
- Her and her party were discussing cuisine when a hellhound overheard the conversation. The party knowing they wouldn't be able to defeat the hell hound, had to feed it instead.
- Getting bored with a slow-moving party and leaving the group after several weeks of camping outside a dungeon entrance.
- One of her former party members was an astronomer who would not stop talking about the sun, stars and moon.
- Once she went into a dungeon filled with banshees and based her success on how much sleep she got.
- She has a hatred of pitfall traps. This stems from seeing one of her party members fall into one and then have an encounter with a slime monster at the bottom.
- Ceri once had the job of guarding some nobles. Assassins were everywhere.
Relationships[]
Yomi: After releasing the fox spirit she is initially very hostile towards Yomi and attacks her but after becoming her subordinate she slowly starts to warm up to her, accepting her fate as her pawn and protecting her through the dungeon. She doesn't seem to like the outfits Yomi puts her in, often preferring her armor as in her words it is more "practical".
Over time she becomes closer to Yomi. They often discuss how to make it through the dungeon and Ceri often tells her tales of her past adventures. She worries about her when there are potential traps that threaten her life in the dungeon. Even going as far as to snap at Maeve when the Guild master criticizes her choice to save her from an assassination attempt.
Ceri eventually confesses to Yomi that this might have been her last dungeon as she thought about her whole life and didn't want to keep diving into danger however traveling with Yomi has rekindled the thrill of adventuring for her.
During an event in which Ceri is admiring herself in lingerie a Hammer monster interrupts her and teases her about dressing up and maybe having a crush on 'the fox'.
Sylvi: Sylvi is known to be the first elf that Ceri has ever met. She at first try's to get along with the elf and work together but Sylvi's petty jealousy over her relationship with Yomi turns her off. In their first encounter together at the Inn Ceri storms off in a huff after Sylvi rude remarks towards her.
While traveling together in the dungeons Ceri gets annoyed with Sylvi's remarks about her preference to use a sword rather than magic and regards her as being less intelligent, although she will protect her when necessary as she protected her from a spear. As they delve into the dungeon Ceri and Sylvi both come to see each other as capable fighters and Ceri admits that they might not be so different after all, just looking for different things. Sylvi agrees.
Maeve: Ceri's guild master and mentor. Maeve took her in and trained her when her parents sent her away to become a knight in the guild. She greatly respects her and wishes to be like her saying that she not only has physical strength but also spiritual as well, as her defeat at the hands of Yomi only motivated Maeve to become stronger.
