Powers —

Skills: At this point at time, very limited ninja and combat skills due to focusing more on studies and her beauty.
Superpowers:

Chakara and Jutsu Usage: Like with most ninja in the Narutoverse, Sakura has the ability to use and control her life energy, or "chakara", to utilize various skills and abilities, from strength augmentation, to walking on various surfaces to manipulating the elements. At this early point in time, unlike her teammates or classmates, Sakura has no unique skills of her own outside of the basic skills taught and mastered at the Academy and her initial time with Team 7, such as the Clone Jutsu and the Disguise Jutsu. This is because of Sakura focusing her attention more on trying to win over Sasuke rather than actually being a ninja.

Inner Sakura: In the original series, "Inner Sakura" was actually Sakura's repressed emotions. Where the outward Sakura was friendly, demure, respectful and caring, "Inner Sakura" was her true feelings being revealed deep inside. Unfortunately, the Confluence has made Inner Sakura a second full-on personality, something like the Grey Hulk/Mr. Fixit to Bruce Banner. This Sakura comes out during times of stress, when the normal Sakura cannot handle what is going on, becoming the Sakura she knows she can be but refuses. This Sakura is much more skilled in combat and in using jutsus. She's seemingly able to mimic abilities used by her friends, but can seemingly copy abilities used by other heroes via chakara manipulation.
Limitations:

Lack of unique combat style

Lack of confidence in herself

Inner Sakura only comes out when it feels like it.

Personality —

Sakura Haruno is a girl of two sides. The Sakura everyone sees is a confident and considerate girl, all smiles and polite to her elders. However, while these are normal emotions of hers, her more rambunctious and explosive emotions are held back inside of her, usually expressed with an imaginary figment known as "Inner Sakura" that would happily reveal and express how Sakura is really feeling. Sometimes, however, these feelings do bubble out and normal Sakura will respond in kind. A part of Sakura's storyline involves finally embracing those emotions and acting like herself, though this won't happen until she grows older.

Sakura has a number of problems that hinders her growth. One of those problems is her actual competence as a combatant. In her early days, Sakura doesn't show much as a combatant due to the fact that she preferred to focus on her studies and her looks in order to win over Sasuke. This leads to moments where Sakura is needed to deal with something or protect someone and is overwhelmed with uncertainty and doubt. This is also complicated by the fact that she is seemingly ignored by her teacher, Kakashi, in favor of training Sasuke or Naruto, the former more than the latter. While later Sakura realizes that she needs to grow up to become a ninja and is trained by Tsunade to become a more competent ninja, this Sakura has none of that growth.

Another problem she has is her infatuation with Sasuke. A lot of her character is focused around being in a strange love triangle as Naruto has shown interest in Sakura but she ignores him in favor of Sasuke, who doesn't give her the time of day at this point and actions that won't happen until years later. Despite this, she seems to heavily cling to him, becoming emotional over his well-being, something that is looked down on during missions.

The Inner Sakura brought about by the Confluence is vastly different than the normal Inner Sakura that exists. This Inner Sakura is a combination of her male teammates Sasuke and Naruto - cool and mysterious and hot-headed and boastful. This Inner Sakura exudes confidence and pride in herself and is determined to fight until either she can't move or her opponent is down. She finds normal Sakura an embarrassment and finds it embarrassing that she has to bail her out at any time.

Gameplay —

Areas of Interest / Brainstorming: One of the big problems with Sakura's character arcs is the bouncing up and down on if she wants to be strong and capable or not. I want to give this girl a massive leg up on what she can and cannot do. Since there's the ability to go back to their worlds and make changes, I want her to change, go back to her world and actually do things.
