"I'm like nothing you've EVER imagined - beautiful, powerful, lustful and.. you're already looking at my breasts - aren't you?
- Inoue Kumiko to a young hopeful (it didn't end well)
Name: Inoue Kumiko, generally known as Kumi.
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Style: Original
Residence: Luo Yang
Personality:
Kumi is generally quite blunt and has a tendency to be sexual, regardless of who she is speaking to. She is also egotistical and is probably thinking of herself. Although, usually completely self-involved, she can show empathy towards other and can easily make friends with her versatile sense of humour, she enjoys making friends but can sometimes look upon them as a 'source of local information' and treat them as if they're employed by her. She is an animal lover, favoring things fluffy and ferocious such as tigers, lions and the odd bunny rabbit. Her temper can also shine through, especially with men and her appearance. In battle, however, she is very calm and collective, will focus on what she is supposed to and will try her best to get her objectives fulfilled.
Appearance/Apparel/Armour:
Kumi's regular appearance
When not in battle, She wears her 'regular' clothing as seen in the picture, however she still carries her sword, but it is covered by a part of her Kimono. She wears a traditional Kimono, being Japanese, she has had for what seems eons. She wears her hair up although sometimes has it down, but rarely. Her footwear is leather strapped boots that don't really match her kimono attire, however, they are her soft-spot and she will not remove them.
Weapon(s):
Beginner's Shortsword
History:
Inoue Kumiko was born in Japan (Or 'Wa' then) and was moved over to China to help Cao Cao's resolve as her mother was a medic and her father was a strategic and agricultural advisor. She left Japan at the age of 8 and was home schooled by her mother and father to become a politician in China, which she did. However, she lived in quarters in a Castle and could clearly see training drills from the soldiers from where she was. Eventually, she started copying them from where she was and confronted her parents for them to try and get her a sword, which they disapproved of and immediately re-iterated Kumi's place to her whilst the soldiers were watching; prompting her to run away for a few days, then return. When she returned her parents and a small military force were out looking for her, and the person left as she returned was the man who trained the soldiers. He was not just a burly soldier, he was also a strategist, he understand the importance of combat and diplomacy, conflict and negotiation. As soon as she realised who he was, Kumi immediately asked him to train her, which he did. First, he disguised teaching her strategic values as extra political lessons, which her parents approved of, since she now seemed to enjoy it. Her combat lessons were originally conducted at night, but eventually, they both realised she was quite promising and her potential should be displayed. Her parents disapproved of this. They promptly had Kumi confined to her room with guards making sure she didn't leave. She was pushed over the edge when they had her mentor executed for fornicating with their daughter. She can still hear her mother screaming at him before he was killed, sometimes. After a brief period of depression and injuring her mother by throwing an ornate vase at her, Kumi managed to leave after the guards had been relaxed due to fears for her health and the pressure they may be putting on her. Being very young, she wandered aimlessly but managed to survive by using her position as a lost young girl to appeal to the hearts of others, which also made her some ‘friends’ on the way although she would never consider them so. To her, they were just objects to be used as a means to an end. As she grew older to around 17-18 years of age, she realised her body could also be used to entice people. She deliberately looked for men that seemed to be drinking the finest ale or was wearing the finest clothes. Her fun routine of seduction, beating and taking everything they had worked much more than she expected. She was even able to afford the beautiful leather boots she still wears now. Eventually, she returned to her childhood ‘home’ and found her father corrupt and her mother had run away, assumed to have died. Kumi practiced her sword skills after she had left the castle, but she relied more on melee. Her father didn’t even recognize her until she’d cut into his torso with a broadsword for letting her mother die. Kumi didn’t escape. She was held prisoner by what was essentially only guards but her body and acting skills played a major part in helping her escape. After this, she relentlessly practiced with a sword, eventually branching out into staff-based weapons but returning to the destructive power of the sword. Again, she became a wandering woman jumping from town to town, doing what she could to keep herself amused. Whether it be beating people or actually being nice.
(People from 'Wa' or Japan were actually brought over to China, however, I'm doing it a bit earlier. They only sent people over during Cao Rui's reign, but Cao Cao did communicate with Japan during his time)
