Personality
Personality: Kamui is a serious and driven woman. Her life is defined by her ambition for power, easily noticed by anyone paying attention. As a result, she carries herself with confidence and exudes an aura of someone who will attain what they desire. Her ultimate goal is to become the strongest, and she is determined to achieve it. However, Kamui tends to tunnel vision and miss things, particularly in social situations. Conversations pose a challenge for her as she can come across as rude and demanding. Her lack of overt charm or cleverness exacerbates this issue. Nevertheless, she can be very polite and respectful, depending on the situation. She is semi-aware of her social awkwardness and genuinely struggles to engage casually with people. Connecting with others becomes easier if she can relate to them or if they share a common goal. People often find it challenging to engage in battle with her due to her reckless behavior, stemming from her urgency to become as strong as possible. Her drive sometimes leads to selfishness, and she is willing to take actions that some may deem illegal or immoral in her pursuit of strength. However, Kamui maintains a personal code of honor, especially as a warrior, upholding her dignity and pride.
Deep down, Kamui is still a girl who desires one thing: to never be hurt emotionally or physically again. Her need for strength originates from this desire for security and safety above all else. Despite her initial resistance and denial, she yearns for true connections and affection, particularly from a lover or parental figure. However, the dilemma arises for an ambitious warrior who questions allowing herself to be vulnerable.
Likes:
- Meditation: While people might think Kamui focuses only on physical strength, that would not be entirely true. She also places great value on mental and spiritual strength. Thus, she holds great value in meditation. She believes you can meditate in many situations, from the classic sitting in stillness to waiting in line, cooking, or performing a kata. Meditation can become a part of your everyday life and has great benefits. It helps that she has been doing it for as long as she can remember, and she enjoys the activity.
- Novels: This may seem out of character, but Kamui is an avid reader. In public, she can be seen reading classics and poetry. But her true love is what she tries to hide: romance novels, especially the... risqué kind. She has book covers just so she can read them wherever she wants.
- Warriors: Kamui enjoys the company of fellow focused warriors like herself, especially those who have some honor. It opens up easy and enjoyable topics of conversation for her, with a chance of becoming stronger through them and sparring.
Dislikes:
- Small Talk: Kamui has never been good at small talk, preferring to get to the point in a conversation, and has long learned to dread it when it’s necessary.
- Pathetic Things: She has an automatic dislike for things and people she finds overly pathetic, weak in mind, body, or spirit when she deems they could be stronger. Exceptions to this are children and those who are disabled or anyone whose said weakness is out of their control.
- Embaressment: As someone who holds herself as confident and dignified, Kamui absolutely hates any type of embarrassment of her person or being involved in an embarrassing situation. Even witnessing something embarrassing makes her internally cringe.
Motivations:
- Strenght: In both mind and body Kamui’s ultimate goal is one thing; to be the strongest person in the world. She also appreciates those who are strong and hold strength in high regard.
- Parental Approval: While she would not put it in such crude terms herself, Kamui has daddy issues. Her father is a very powerful person and the woman is driven to gain his attention and affection.
Fears:
- Weakness: Like many great ambitions, Kamui’s goal of strength comes from fear. Namely, the fear of being weak, thus easily taken advantage of. She associates weakness with having her dignity and freedom taken away, with pain and suffering. Thus, there is nothing she fears more than feeling weak.
- Limb Loss: As a warrior that focuses on wielding weapons and fears weakness, one of the easiest ways to manifest that fear is losing a limb. While she may regain confidence over smaller bouts of weakness, losing an arm or leg may emotionally cripple her. Even seeing someone with a missing limb causes a shiver of dread to run up Kamui’s back.
- Losing Divine Favour: Because of her fathers blood, Kamui has the favour of the divine, something she has built up much of her self worth around. Without it she would be just a normal mortal and would have little to no chance of achieving her motivations.

History

- History of Her Parents:
The Murasaki clan of Joya is a medium-sized clan that, to be frank, felt more powerful than reality presented. They were a samurai clan, filled with pride in being warriors but lacking in magical ability. Instead, they focused on mastery of the blade and body. The leader of the clan is Murasaki Shikoku. Shikoku’s childhood was filled with strife as a fourth child with big ambitions. He spent most of his life scheming against his siblings to become the next clan head while maintaining his honor. Finally, at the age of 45 and near the end of his prime as a samurai, he succeeded and became the clan head. He then turned his focus to the next task needed to solidify this position: the birth of his heir. Shikoku, by this point, already had one wife who was assassinated a few years back, and despite 15 years of marriage, they never managed to have a child together. Shikoku mourned his first wife greatly and would never forget her, but despite this love and grief, power meant more to him. So he married the daughter of a prominent clan, further growing Murasaki’s power and influence. Together they had several children. But Shikoku still longed for his late first wife and found the strength of his current heir lacking. But one day as he was wandering the red-light district in Joya, Shikoku came across her. A woman known only as Tsunagi Sumire looked nearly identical to his late wife and was working as a courtesan. He immediately bought her from the red-light district house she worked for and took her on as a mistress, to his family’s displeasure.
Unknown to Shikoku, Sumire was his late wife’s half-sister through their father, an illegitimate child from her courtesan mother, with her real name being Masahito Akane. Despite being illegitimate, the woman grew up with love and became a proud, educated, and strong-willed woman. Instead of a traditional life as either one of her father's samurai or the life of a wife, Akane decided to dedicate herself to scholarly arts. She disguised herself as a man and went to university and studied gods and godly beings with near obsession, and grew to greatly admire the ideals of divine might. She hired mages to delve into dangerous places for her, read illegal ancient scrolls, and snuck into forbidden crypts, all for her ambition for the divine. Finally, through her connections, she shed her male guise and got hired as a shrine maiden of the great god Raijin himself, a god Sumire had great fascination with. Through gaining the other members of the shrine's trust over time, and through her own devious methods, Sumire got ahold of even more information regarding The Raijin and fell in love with the god, or her idea of the God of Thunder and divine might itself. She became obsessed with proving herself worthy of the god's attention. And after a series of events, some orchestrated by her with this intention in mind, some not, her wish came true. She was visited by Raijin and spent a blissful night with him. But to her devastation, the god did not stay, nor take her with him, and instead left without a word. Akane was in despair for weeks until she found out she was pregnant. Knowing she would bear the child of her beloved god, Akane devised a new plan to receive Raijin’s attention again: raise the child to be a great enough warrior to receive their father's blessings. It was simply good fortune that while wandering the pleasure district to have her child subtly checked over, a lord of a powerful samurai clan mistook her for a prostitute and wanted to take Akane as his mistress. Thus Tsunagi Sumire was created, and Shikoku had no idea that her child was not his.
- Her Childhood:
On the eve of the Fioran New Year, Tsunagi Katsuragi was born.
Katsuragi had a typical tragic upbringing as the child of a mistress. He was hated and bullied by all in his house, especially his half-siblings and stepmother, or, in better cases, simply ignored. It didn’t help that his father was cold toward Sumire and Katsuragi after the child's birth, the mother-child duo unable to properly fill the grief-filled void in Shikoku’s heart. Like a typical child, Katsuragi loved his parents greatly and yearned for their affection. But while his mother could be warm at times, Sumire often left the Murasaki compound for trips, and when she was around, pushed Katsuragi hard to become educated and disciplined in the ways of the samurai under the Murasaki clan. Worse in the eyes of his mother, Katsuragi had a love for feminine things and felt uncomfortable living as a boy. Unfortunately due to Joyan being a strictly patriarchal society, Sumire encouraged her child to do as she once did; live a lie for the sake of ambition, since that matters more above all else. Wanting to make his family and clan proud, Katsuragi stuffed down any dreams of girlhood and started to develop his goal-driven personality at a young age, spending most of his time studying and learning the way of the samurai, something women were not allowed to do at the time. But truly, Katsuragi was a scared and weak little boy, not worth his father's attention or all of his mother's warmth. But that changed after an incident when he was 10 years old. Katsuragi had been cornered by a few of his siblings and their friends who found a Joyan doll young girls often played with in his possession, who started to engage in their usual bullying habits upon finding it and destroying it. But it then became much more serious when they started to seriously physically assault the child for the first time. This caused him to fight back more fiercely, in part to avenge his one secret pleasure and because Katsuragi felt his life was in danger, and after grabbing a wooden sword, he managed to fend off the group, even though many of them were bigger and older than him. A nearby high-level samurai of the Murasaki Clan witnessed this brawl and was impressed with the boy's strength and ability. When Katsuragi was later put in front of his father and forced to confess (denying the doll was his in the meantime), the samurai spoke up and convinced his master the boy was a prodigy with the sword.
Katsuragi’s life immediately changed as he began his elite warrior training, and the samurai assessment was soon proven correct as the boy flourished under the new regime. But his and Sumire’s situation only grew worse since, to his family, the two stopped becoming harmless and potentially useful tools; instead, they became a threat. This was because in martial families, prodigies like Katsuragi were valued highly and had great abilities to rise in rank. This was especially dangerous to Katsuragi’s stepmother and half-siblings. They convinced Shikoku to give Katsuragi the cruelest teacher the clan had and argued over time that worldly possessions and decent food would weaken Katsuragi. They found every excuse to take away the rights and privileges of the duo, leading the Tsunagi, mostly Katsuragi who was always at the compound until Sumire, to have miserable lives. But despite feeling weaker and helpless as ever, Katsuragi grew stronger. To the point that as his 16th birthday gift, he was allowed to take on the name Murasaki Katsuragi. It was also when bullying turned into assassination attempts. But Sumire was clever and using the little respect her strong but weak-willed son had gained along with her work over all these years, the mother launched several counterattacks against her husband, wife, and other children that dared mess with them. This continued for several more years, and included the deaths of several of Katsuragi’s stepmother's children and servants, until the rivalry hit a climax and Sumire was accused of poisoning the lady of the house. Katsuragi begged, pleaded, and even grew the courage to threaten, but it was for naught. Sumire was led away to be executed, and Katsuragi never saw her again. Seeing the pleased looks on his stepmother and half-siblings' faces, and the complete apathy in his father's eyes as Katsuragi watched his mother's back as she left in cuffs broke something in him. He was overwhelmed by his own helplessness and uselessness in the wake of his mother's death, always a burden and weakness. His fragile spirit was broken, and Katsuragi was lost.
- Teen Years And Rebirth:
He soon went into a year-long training seclusion in a mountain range Sumire spoke of often. There he sat under waterfalls, punched stones, and killed monsters. But still, the pain of his mother's death and his own weakness never went away. Months and months of training did not change this. But one night, a fierce thunderstorm raged in the skies. Katsuragi had been cornered on a cliff's edge by a powerful monster, and despite trembling in fear and cold, fought for his life against it, flashes of lightning guiding his blade. But it was for naught, as the monster felled him with a strike, and Katsuragi felt himself tumbling off the cliff's edge. Katsuragi survived the fall, but his body was broken beyond repair, and he would soon die from the wound the monster gave him. Staring into the rain, tears falling from his eyes, Katsuragi was prepared to die. But instead, lightning flashed, and a thunderous voice roared. It asked the boy if he was really content with giving up so easily. If the daughter of the great god Raijin would really die in such a pathetic manner. That she had the potential to be great. The great voice asked for her answer, and with his mother's face in his/her heart and vengeance on their mind, and a wish to never be so weak again vibrating in her soul, Katsuragi answered that she would be the strongest in the world. Then, with a flash of lightning, she lost consciousness.
When she awoke, the girl found herself in a temple, her body healed. It was a hidden temple of the Raijin, and the people there confirmed that they were the ones who retrieved her from the cliffside and that they heard the Raijin speak to the girl. They confirmed that what she heard was true; she was not the child of Murasaki Shikoku but of a god. This revelation, along with the vow she made to her father, changed everything for her. Best of all, her real father, a God of Joyan, looked right into her soul and saw a woman, not a man. Then all but declared that even as a woman she could be strong. The girl was invigorated like she never had been before, and was ready to take on the world. But even then, gaining a sense of confidence took time, and for the last portion of her seclusion, Ayame was trained at the hidden temple by the monks and shrine maidens of her father.
When she emerged, Murasaki Katsuragi was a new person, and ready to change even more.
The first thing she did upon coming home was to challenge each of her martial half-siblings to a duel and duelled the proxies of those who could not fight themselves. Katsuragi won each fight, despite subtle and blatant cheating from her opponents. With that, she realized that the clan's honour was only surface level, the rest filled with rot. After beating her last opponents, feeling the lightning in her veins, she realized an important fact: she was strong, and as the child of a god, had nothing to prove to these weak beings. But she was not strong enough for the rest of the world, let alone her godly father. In being strong, Katsuragi could be unbeatable, so these people and anyone else could never hurt her, or take away her rights and dignity again. She could be of use to The Raijin, and gain his attention and approval. These people who dishonoured her, and killed her mother, did not deserve to live. But since they were below her sword's dignity, their pathetic lives would be spared for now. But Katsuragi had some final words for one man before she shed the final viel of her old self.
Nobody knows the full story of what happened the night Katsuragi confronted the man she thought was her father, only that swords were drawn, the reception room was destroyed, Shikoku lost an arm, and Murasaki Katsuragi was a dead man in the eyes of the clan. All they could witness was that dead man walking out of the clan grounds as a woman, blood on her sword and head held high.
From that point on, she went by the name of Tsunagi Kamui, wandering the world in search of unbeatable strength. While in distant lands and Joya itself, not long after she drank a magical potion to truly become a woman in body and spirit, Kamui heard of the death of the Shogun her old clan served, and how the new one's governance did well in uncovering the rot that was the Murasaki clan, though it was still standing. Along with stories of The Shinigami Convocation’s might, especially the Shogun’s strength and power, drew Kamui’s admiration and respect. She hoped to one day have those feelings reciprocated in her endless journey of excellence. But she, of course, had a greater goal. With her eyes drawn skywards, Tsunagi Kamui would one day walk the path of the divine.
