Name: Sanada Sora
Clan: Sanada
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Nationality: Japanese

Family:
Father (Adoptive): Sanada Yukimora

Relationship: N/A

Classification: Princess

Weapon(s): A daisho (katana and wakizashi) which she forged herself, bow and arrow, naginata (only used when she's expecting to go into a fight)

Personality: Sanada Sora is a very focused and determined woman, living every day to prove her worth to her adoptive father. Sora is a perfectionist and is very hard on herself if she is anything less than perfect for her father. This perfectionism can extend to others, though she views herself as benevolently trying to help others actualize their potential. Sora tends to be a lot more relaxed and friendly when not around her father or carrying out a task for her father. Part of her wonders if there is anything outside her duty to her father, but she has been dedicating herself to his service for her whole life, so she does not know anything else. She claims that her service will pay off her debt to him, but she honestly has no idea what she'd do with herself if that day ever comes.

Hobbies: Blacksmithing, Calligraphy, Iaijutsu, Hand-to-hand Martial Arts (I'm not particularly familiar with Japanese martial arts), studying historical battles

Likes: Praise from her father, competent people, good food, fine art, music

Dislikes: Incompetence, failure, laziness

Strengths: Sora is both an expert swordswoman and an expert smith: weapons forged by her are said to never dull or break. Furthermore, she knows her own weapons inside and out and can recognize her own craftsmanship. Her familiarity with weapons and armor allows her to exploit weaknesses in her opponents' gear; she is known for shattering her opponents' blades and slicing the armor from their bodies

Weaknesses: While Sora is a very determined woman, her determination is single-minded and can sometimes cause her to miss fairly obvious details. Furthermore, her honor is very important to her and she would gladly walk into an obvious trap in order to protect it.

[hider=Biography]
Sora was nearly dead from starvation when Sanada Yukimura found her. She had either been abandoned by her family or her family had died; she cannot remember. Her first memory is of Sanada Yukimura lifting her out of the street and onto his horse, shortly after which he officially adopted her. Eternally grateful for his kindness, Sora pledged to repay her father by being an exemplary member of his household. She insisted that she be trained in the arts of swordplay and smithing, followed shortly by hand-to-hand combat. By the time she was sixteen, she had been trusted with a unit of her own soldiers and by twenty she had earned the rank of general. Still, she felt she had not done enough to repay her father. She has continued to hone her skills to this day, both slaying her father's enemies and acting as a diplomat to his allies, hoping to one day repay his kindness in full.

Other: She knows that she will likely be instructed to marry at some point, but she would much rather spend her life on the battlefield than acting as a wife
