The First Blade// Inversed Moon // Rainy Past

Yuna Amane is a 22 year old Ronin who lost both parents when she was 5.

She has a pale complexion, violet eyes, a stern or numb face most of the time and her black hair is left free to the wind. She has decently big curves, especially the hips, but isn't chubby and nothing is excessively big. She usually dresses in Black Hakama Pants that are a bit big for her, a Midnight Blue samurai hakamashita that is slightly open at the chest, but not enough to show off too much, a black belt with golden engravings on her hip and traditional samurai sandals without socks.

She also has a weapon, a Ōdachi called Sakatsuki (which means Inversed Moon). It's hilt is black with a circular golden tsuba that has engravings. The blade is forged by the master of the land, looking snow white and sharp enough to cut boulders. It's scabbard is black, with red ropes holding it up and golden engravings on it. It sits horizontally slightly above her lower back.

Her personality is often standoffish, preferring to be left alone. While not prone to swearing, she will insult in a... Polite manner. Though she will still swear if pushed to the limit. Beneath that numb and standoffish nature, sits her real one. Kind, compassionate and caring. But she hasn't been like that in years.

Her story begins in a random village deep in the mountains, just another baby in a small community. She was happy at the time. Everything went normal for the time being. She learned to use a needle to sew stuff, learned how to cook, normal girl stuff... Then the invasion of another village left her orphan at 5 year old, with nothing but flaming regret.

On the verge of starvation due to the lack of food around, a stranger found her, picked her up and brought her with him. That man was Shindo Kaeru. Her future master. He brought her to his dojo, dressed her up in the clothes she currently wears and trained her in that way if the Ōdachi. But... The man was not as kind as he seemed. With all his students except Yuna gone, she understood what his plans were. To conquer the entire land, regardless of whoever was there. She fought him. She killed him. A grand master of the blade.

Many did not understand why, so she became ostracized. With time, she got used to it. When walking in villages, curses and hateful stares were given to her for killing the "kind master on the mountains". Stores sold her stuff, but with reluctance. She became truly alone.

Now she's the master of that abandoned dojo, with no students and no friends or family left.

Shindo Kaeru, now deceased, was a 68 year old master of the sword. Though seemingly kind, that was a facade. Under his old man complexion and white beard that looked like it belonged to a sage, he planned to take over the entire country by force.

His personality was often times kind and generous, but it was a trap to get followers and accomplices for when the time came. Still, though very cunning, he was genuinely affectionate with Yuna, both of them seeing each other as family (him seeing her as his daughter and her seeing him as a father figure) and planned to help her achieve complete peace.

Kashimo Miteru Is the locale blacksmith, a legendary forger who can make the sharpest or most durable blades in all of the land. The only villager who's not treating Yuna badly and instead knows what really happened.

Kashimo is a 32 year old, with brown clothing, black hakama pants and has a little beard with salt and pepper hair. Has a gruff voice and caring personality, being kind to those who deserve it, but decisively worse with bad people.

The Kirimo Atare Dojo is now abandoned, even though under the custody of Yuna Amane. It sits above in the mountains over the Village of Maeto. The Dojo is made of wood, slightly broken by time, full of utensils to live comfortably and no students.

Maeto village, sitting at the foot of the mountain that leads up to the Dojo, is decently big. The houses are of varying sizes, but mostly small. The notable places are:

1. the Main Road (Or Shinzu Ryu Road), it is full of little shops, leading up to the stairs that go to the Dojo. The stores are decently big, with prices that aren't that much expensive.
2. the Red Light District, full of prostitutes and sex workers of the era. Nothing much to note here, it's a Red Light District.
3. the Tori gates, they lead to the stairs that go up the Dojo. Ruined and not cared for, the red peeling off, but still it sells the vibe.
4. the Forge, the only place where Yuna is welcomed. The blacksmith knows what happened and doesn't judge her for it. Often repairs Yuna's blade.

The surrounding forest, the Ame no Mori, is mostly made of pines. While friendly during day, at night it becomes a maze, easy to get lost in, so legends say that at night, a "specter" steals people traveling through the forest, and they are never found. Still a nice place to set up a campfire and relax.

The river Kako no Serei no Kawa is a placid place by Maeto village. Fish are easily caught here and overall it's good for buisness.
