Height: 5'

Personality: 
Nagiha is "A rough and unpolished gem" if you go by the words of her general. She often is impolite towards members of her own social class or lower ones and seems to be stubborn, if not even defiant. Her tough attitude is only broken when talking to superiors, where her enormous sense of honor and loyalty makes her submissive.
Still, she can be slightly arrogant and boastful to the point of being annoying even. In battle, she burns with an ardor that impressed even the daimyo. However, getting her to open up, which is not an easy task, since you either have to beat her in a duel or be a very good friend, reveals a soft, even cheerful and gentle person with dreams of a future she wishes to achieve.

History:
Born to a pair of ashigaru fighting for the Oda, Nagiha grew up with the yari in one hand and the katana in the other learning from the beginning on, how to use these weapons. Soon she even surpassed her own parents and at the young age of 14, one general took notice of her abilities. He took her to Owari's best training school.
Soon after being admitted there, a war broke out and every available member of the Oda army had to march to defend. This meant Nagiha as well. A few days later, Nagiha stared at an enemy for the first time as both armies charged each other. 
On the next day, she had killed, not only her first enemy, but a lot more of them. But her parents both didn't survive the battle. Breaking down after this, she swore, she'd never lose a battle, no matter the cost. 
She carried on with that attitude in mind for a couple more battles until the daimyo, who was serving as the general of her unit at that time, noticed it and took her aside to tell her that he had noticed her effort, however, she'd be worth more to the clan alive then dead. At the end of that meeting, she swore eternal loyalty to the Oda-clan and was honored with the Samurai-title.
Many samurais were skeptical of the daimyo's decision, so Nagiha set out on a mission to prove her worth as a samurai leading her own small troop of ashigaru to countless victories in multiple skirmishes. Even the most skeptical of the daimyo' samurai retainers couldn't hold any skepticism against her now. 
However, living a life of battle, she never had any real friends in all her life.

When Nagiha became 18, the daimyo decided to reward her for her loyalty and the honor she brought to the clan, so he made her one of his samurai retainers. Now, he sent her out to support the emperor and show him the loyalty of the Oda. Her current attire was a gift of the daimyo to her for accepting the mission. Her close relationship with the daimyo, who sort of seems to see her as a daughter, is seen with a lot of scepticism to the point where even assassination plots against Nagiha were formed.

Strengths: 
-Fast and agile
-Excellent swordswoman and yari-wielder
-For her young age, she is not too shabby of a tactician and strategist
 
Weakness: (two mental, three physical)
mental:
-If you insult her clan, she'll be thrown into rage
-Her attitude can be very annoying for anybody around

physical:
-she's small, that means, she can't wear the heavy armor or helmets.
-After she rages, whether it may be in battle or out of battle, her body goes into shutdown mode rendering her lazy for a while.
-She's not strong physically. Her strength is just enough to operate well with yari and katana in battle, but not more. This means, she's absolutely lose in a fist fight.

Likes: Winning, being praised by superiors, looking for new ways to employ her weaponry, modifying said weaponry

Dislikes: Her clan being made fun of, losing, people lifting her up and carrying her around, being treated like a kid, being underestimated

Dream: To one day become a member of the Oda-family, in which ever way possible

Fear: Dishonoring her clan and bringing shame to the Oda's name
