| ====Ikoma Hikari-hime (Shrike)====

| ::Princess

| |
| ====Kikuchi Katsuyori (Rex)====
| |
| ::Retainer
| |
| ::Adopted into the long-serving distinguished but somewhat less then fruitful Kikuchi family as the second son of Kikuchi Sukeyori, a family in pledged service to Ikoma, from the Chuba Family as per the tradition of the two bushi families Kikuchi is close retainer of Hikari-hime. Katsuyori however was raised in the Ikoma household itself from adolescence to be a direct retainer to the Ikoma clan. Of relatively normal height, dark haired to a degree some might call 'raven', Katsuyori is fully trained in the traditional weapons and carries a daisho given to him upon upon his appointment to his post. Generally somewhat stoic and glum on duty and otherwise quite private, implying secrets to the curious, diligence and responsibility has often enough proven to be a key trait no matter the ideas of the romantics to the childhood friend, such as it was possible, to Hikari-hime.

| ====Akayama Ryunosuke (Five)====
| |
| ::Retainer
| |
| :: Born, or more accurately found by monks on the lower slopes of Mount Orashi, Akayama Ryunosuke is a warrior monk or Sōhei. Raised in the Mii-dera temple, Ryunosuke was a mountain of a child, with appetites and spirit to match. Despite attempts of the head monk to train him to be a good, docile monk throughout his childhood, the young man proved to be far too energetic for his attempts. In an attempt to find an outlet for the boy's energies, Ryunosuke was pushed into training to be a warrior monk, learning how to use the Naginata and how to wear armor. Surprisingly, this worked in a way. While Ryunosuke's did begin to drink and womanize less, he threw himself into combat training. Eventually, finding himself unfulfilled with life in the temple, Ryunosuke left Mii-Dera at age seventeen to wander Amahara.
| |
|
| |
| ::A year into his travels, Ryunosuke was challenged to a duel by the father of The Princess. In the end Ryunosuke lost, however, instead of killing the wandering monk, he brought Ryunosuke into his service. To this day, Ryunosuke continues to loyally serve the Ikoma-clan, and has pledged to himself and to the Buddha that he would die before he betrayed the Ikoma.

| ====Nakatomi no Chifuyu (Exhack)====
| |
| ::Shrine Maiden
| |
| ::Nakatomi no Chifuyu is was the youngest daughter of the Nakatomi branch family and a distant relative of Hikari-hime. Having been raised and pressed to work as a priestess from a young age, she feels slightly constrained by her duties, but nevertheless labors to help those around her pull themselves out of the hardships imposed by the merchants and samurai. Though forced to be a miko by a family that couldn't afford any more dowries, she is more than happy to make use of the power of her title to influence others with the intent to help others. She feels lukewarmly about her relatives in the Ikoma Clan and has a dislike of the samurai and their rampant abuses of the peasantry, but has a small soft spot for her cousin.
| |
|
| |
| ::Chifuyu presents a very refined and demure image to those around her, acting pure and innocent when it suffices, despite a true character that is far more worldly. She is ambitious, headstrong and willing to cross political lines in order to help those in need. Thanks to her schooling, Chifyu is rather adept at worldly matters and well-read in matters of politics and religion, and hopes to curry favor with her relatives in order to ascend to a greater position of power within the court. A woman doesn't need to be a warrior or a wife to be powerful, after all.

| <b>Character Slot:</b> Retainer<br>

| <br>
| |
| <b>Background</b><br>
| |
| Fujiyama no Akiko was the daughter of Fujiyama no Ichiro, a minor independent daimyo. She too was an ordinary noble's daughter, taught to manage an estate and to practise the courtly arts. However her father was forced to take sides in one of the interminable clan wars that plagued the realm. Unfortunately they chose unwisely, as the war went against their ally Shimozawa no Kenichi he made a secret peace treaty ceding the lands of the Fujiyama clan. Treacherously he invited the Fujiyama clan to a conference, asking them to bring as many soldiers as they could. On the way they were ambushed and only Ichiro and a handful of his retainers survived. <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Akiko's life after the treacherous ambush was one of fear and deprivation. They were hounded from place to place. One by one their faithful retainers were cut down. In the end they were given shelter by the father of The Princess, who thought that they could be useful. Living a fairly simple life her father taught her Iaido and how to use the deadly Cobra Cut to kill in the blink of an eye. <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| In the end the Shimozawa clan fell out with the Princess' clan and Akiko was given leave to take her revenge. The plan was really quite simple. While he was travelling he would often stay at a certain inn. By way of bribery Akiko was disguised as a maid who would wait at a feast. Since she was both a woman and unarmed no one paid any particular attention to her. That is until she took the lords sword and cut off his head with it. At that point she fully expected to die, but somehow she managed to slip away from the drunken confused samurai and mix with the fleeing, panicky servants. <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Afterward she lacked any purpose, her revenge was spent, and soon her father died as well. Thus she was quite grateful to be made the bodyguard of the Princess. Having no family to distract her from her duty and a great debt of gratitude to the Princess' father, it seemed that Akiko was an ideal candidate. <br>

| |
| <b>Description</b><br>
| |
| Though attractive in a way, partly due to her good health and fitness, it is a cold sort of beauty. Expressionless and with dark eyes, like deep wells, she can be quite unnerving. Indeed she is mostly lacking in social graces, having barely enough to avoid embarrassing herself. For the most part she defers to the Princess, rarely even speaking without being addressed first.<br>
