HISTORY[/font]
- Born and raised in a clan that clung to the ways of the samurai, learning the arts of sword and brush.
- As a child she scuffled with boys who tried to bully the other girls, earning her a reputation of a ruffian and caused her parents to worry.
- Was enrolled in an all girl's school by her parents to insure she would learn to become a proper lady. Away from boys, she grew out of her tomboyish ways, but would grow unexplainably tense whenever her peers would gossip about the boys they liked.
- Reflexively hospitalized a (would-be) molester she encountered on the local bus on her way home one day. Though she had acted out of self-defense, her parents forced her to apologize to the molester anyways, humiliating her.
- After nearly killing her father in a training exercise, she was forbidden to ever lift a bokken again.
- As a means to relieve her pent up frustration, she formed a delinquent gang and began fighting other gangs.
- Refusing to end her unlawful activity, she was disowned by her parents and cast out of her home.
- Got in over her head fighting a much more experienced and well prepared gang, getting most of her comrades killed and was left dying.
- Discovered by a young mangaka living in the Akiha Bara district, she was taken in and nursed to health. They became quick of friends and more. To repay for freeloading, she modeled for her host-turned-lover.
- Recently learned that her father has fallen ill and will likely die before the end of the year. As her father's only child, Masami is the only one who take over the role of clan head. However, before she is forgiven of her past actions and allowed to return home, she must prove herself worthy of leading the clan . . .
ALLIANCE[/font]
Shiniko Clan: A clan who can trace its roots back to Oda Nobunaga (or so they like to tell everyone), it was one of the few samurai clans to survive the Meiji era, though the clan was nearly wiped out during World War II out of overzealous young men rushing off to join the militiary without marrying or fathering children and winding dying in kami kaze bombings or taking their lives rather than being taken alive by their enemies. Even today they cling to their beliefs even if doing so would compromise their ability to function in modern day soceity.
