Well. I seem to be on a roll for confusing people without meaning to: that or everyone is jumping to conclusions too easily. The picture before was Sakura during her time as a student at Tenmon (the glowing eye is something you are going to have to figure out for yourselves once the comic gets rolling again). During the story; she looks like this.

...Well for most of the story anyways.

As for the monkey thing: it was more a reference to the position I draw her in (made me think of a monkey leaping from tree to tree). Her race - the kakkarins - are essentially depicted as 'beast-men' but generally resemble felines more than anything else.

The more you know, and all that.

Oh and: posting 'first lol' or whatever is kind of insulting to the artist whose work you are wasting feedback space with. I can't really stop anyone from doing it: but I do take it as kinda disrespectful. It's like trying to give a presentation and having some three year old make farting sounds at the back of the room.
