Mikitora Shiann
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: Mikitora, due to her upbringing, was raised to be cold and calculating, to focus on the business at hand above everything else. This, however, has resulted in her coming off as aloof to others and hampers her social abilities. She's also learned to hide her facial expressions, maintaining a neutral face despite what she may be truly feellng. She functions well as an individual, but with her people skills as they are, she has difficulty leading others by any way other than through fear. Very indecisive concerning what course of action to take regarding her nation.
Concerning actual interaction with others, it's a very chilling atmosphere with her at first, with her cold mannerisms and indifferent expressions. However, given enough time and effort to get through to her, she will eventually warm up to people and speak more informally, and, more importantly, show her true feelings.
History: Mikitora Shiann, or simply "Miki" is the daughter of Shiratori and Kamegekido Shiann, the former Empress and Emperor of Karaja Hakura. Having lead the charge that lead to the conquering of 5 different nations in such a short span of time gained them the fanatical following of everyone originally from there, and the fear and begrudging respect of those who had been conquered. Three years later, the two decided they would bear a child to carry on their legacy and be the new generation that would lead Karaja Hakura in a new direction. The two died from old age at the ages of 59 and 61, three months apart, with Mikitora at the age of 26.
The young girl was raised to be an assassin first, a leader second, and a lady never. Her council was composed entirely of those who had fought alongside her father, and demanded much of her. As she grew up she was expected to meet and then surpass her parents' abilities. Her father's swordsmanship and mounted combat, her mother's ability to assume a role and deceive others, and the ability to ignore personal bias when making a decision. Her training was rigorous and extensive, and thus her childhood was unlike most others. Where most children would go outside and play with pokemon, she was learning to scale walls and poison her blade. When others would be catching their first pokemon, she was being taught to command multiple.
Once she blossomed into adulthood, her skills reached their peak, and she was deemed ready to lead by her father. However, she denied taking up the torch immediately. With each passing year the offering was made and refused, until 8 years later, where, on his deathbed, her father demanded that Miki take the role while he still had life in him. For the first time since her childhood, Mikitora broke down into tears as she accepted the role. Three months later, she had the formal ceremony that would induct her as Empress, and days later her mother passed away as well.
Now alone with no one but relics of an old generation to keep her company, she rules the province of Karaja Hakura based on her father's principles, insecure about what would happen if she did anything besides that. Two years later, she still follows what her father started, and with her nation on the brink of civil war, she's got no choice but to make a change and go in a new direction...
