Female Warriors of Feudal Japan

"Hiryuu Kouko. I have come for the request of women combatants." A plain statement from a short, plain woman, dressed like one might find a ronin. The young woman was admitted access quickly enough, perhaps because she seemed unintimidating. She was a little short for that. She entered to quite the scene, it seemed. Almost as though everyone had been hushed for her entrance, but she knew that couldn't be the case. A potter's daughter, carrying a sword and going to work as a warrior? It seemed preposterous, but here she was. She'd had quite an experience, since that day.

The kami, Akaruime...

Now wasn't the time to think of that. The doors were open, she should proceed, and so she does. She finds her place at the end of the line, standing and waiting patiently. Someone with a sharp eye might notice the discrepancy between her katana and the sheath. The latter was just a little too big, and the sword sat somewhat loose within. It troubled her, that she might be rejected for something like that, but it couldn't be helped.

There was a tension in the air... and from the way people were speaking, it was a conversation that... perhaps would be her business, if she were chosen, but it seemed troublesome to get involved. Already, things seemed troublesome? It boded well. Now that she looked closer, it seemed like a fight had almost broken out... ugh, what has she signed up for?

I take it the warriors are all still lined up? o 3o Kouko'll just slip in at the end, there...

It's small because my characters start like that, really. I'll figure out more about her as we go along. >>;

Besides, who needs a grand backstory? It's simple. *nod nod*

Anyway yaaaaaaay, now to catch up on the IC posts.

HOTD has a manga, too, which is pretty good. The mangaka took a long hiatus because he didn't want to kill off a character, once. I felt it in my kokoro.

A hentai...? Oh my.

History: The daughter of a family of potters, she found herself in trouble one day, on an errand for her parents. A golden fox saved her life and took her in, teaching her how to fight. She was given a sword that resembles the night sky, and told to seek its sheath on the last day of her training.

Either that, or unnamed Hiryuu is just bisexual.

I'm thinkin' gift from a kami.

Intervention by some kami.

That's my plan for as-yet-unnamed Hiryuu-chan.

I think you're talkin' about the wrong RP, Erran.

The manliest, huh? Hmmm. I guess Junko seems pretty masculine?

Lilium Academy For Young Ladies

... Yeah, it would. I guess we can't ask Pervy-chan to act for us, then.

I guess we'll just have to strong-arm the principal.

Lilium Academy For Young Ladies

Uuuh... we'll strong arm the principal into it.

Or maybe we could get Pervy-chan to do it?

She might die from stage fright, though...
