Tomoe Gozen (Majo Taisen)

A serious, brave, and combative woman, Tomoe lives a samurai lifestyle; following a path of strict discipline and being willing to fight to the bitter end. Despite this, Tomoe has a kinder and more timid side, blushing after being flattered by her male companions. Her most prominent characteristic is her strong sense of justice, being willing to protect the innocent as well as giving advice to Jeanne despite knowing there was a chance she might be her next opponent.

Tomoe is a young woman with shoulder-length blonde hair and green eyes. She wears a headband with a metal plate, and her outfit consists of a short pink kimono, which extends to mid-thigh, tied with an obi, and fastened with a white cloth. She adds additional armor over her right arm, waist, and left shoulder, and a metal plate over her left breast, and completes her outfit with white tights and sandals.

As an expert swordsman and archer, her main weapons of choice are a Naginata and a Bow and Arrow. Considered the mightiest samurai of her era, Tomoe possesses inhuman levels of physical strength. She has been stated to have the strength of a thousand people, being capable of breaking people's necks with her bare hands and being able to lift and brandish weapons nearly equal to her in size.

Tomoe was born in the Heian Era and is the younger sister of Imai Kanehira and Higuchi Kanemitsu. In 1180 A.D. Kiso Yoshinaka received permission from the prince to destroy the Heike, for their insubordination against the emperor and their attempts to wipe out Buddhism. As the men were devising a battle plan, Tomoe joined, now sporting shorter hair, stating she couldn't stand it while using the bow. Kiso complemented her new appearance, and when the others started to tease her, she struck them down. She later talks with him and states she will protect and uphold peace in their land.

Tomoe and her troops marched into battle, but the fight ended with her being the only survivor. As she stood in the field, shocked at the outcome and questioning her resolve, two enemy soldiers showed up and demanded for her to surrender and put her to death. When the men noticed that Tomoe was a woman, they tried to rape her. As thoughts about the meaning of justice and evil rush through her mind, she begins to question what it is supposed to be, but decides to kill the men, as she views them as evil and vows to destroy all that is evil..
