[b]Conditions[/b]: Guilty (-2 Emotional Support), Angry (-2 Figure Them Out) [b]The Authority and their Commandments[/b] "The authority that governed my upbringing was the Dominion, of course. From birth, their priest welcomed me to our family shrine, and made a point to teach me and my siblings of the Dominion's order, how our place was to kneel to their rulership. As I came of age to learn the arts to which the fourth child is given, I spent large amounts of time at their Academy, not in the capital or in my family's' ancestral holdings but on the mountain Hwake, the Empress's personal holdings in our lands. We were taught proper graces, how to hold a knife to eat, how to hold a knife to threaten, how to hold a knife to kill, in the style of my homeland, but in the service of the Dominion. And as I grew older, I was selected to spread our ties south, to a land not my own, by order of that authority. Thus it has shaped my life." -Piripiri, explaining to the mirror exactly why and how she got stuck with this.
