Nishimura Hidemi (a.k.a. The Tarnished Geisha)

Mental characteristics

Personal history

It was a typical night at the okiya or Geisha House in which Hidemi was employed… that was until a man walked in with dirt covered clothes but bag full of coin. Soon after Hidemi was performing for him a song with her beautiful voice for which she was renown. The man became increasingly impatient and only caring for his physical needs, however as Hidemi began to disrobe she heard a disturbance from outside. It would seem a murderer had strolled into the village after robbing and killing a wealthy family and stealing their coin. Hidemi looked at the man and the man looked at her and just as she was about to scream the man drew his sword as swift as a freshly cast shadow and slit her throat. Hidemi collapsed to the floor as the man wiped his blade and snuck out of the okiya. Hidemi was still breathing when the man left but her throat continued to bleed. She proceeded with her attempts at calling out … calling out to anyone at all for aid… but all that came from her lips was silence. The blood continued to flow from her neck and began to pool at her side, her dancing fan soaking it up as the moon’s light beamed in through the window and back at Hidemi. At this point the girl could feel her life fading, the light around her was going dim but in one last effort she reached her hand towards the heavens… though her eyes were no longer able to open she could feel as if someone had began cradling her hand… and just like that her consciousness withered, only the pitch black darkness and deafening silence there to keep her company… That was until she awoke…
She looked down and the pool of blood was still at her side, she reached up and touched her throat, the wound had vanished. Again she attempted to speak… but despite the wound being healed there was only silence that passed through her lips once again. Hidemi became confused with emotions; she was both happy to be alive but deeply saddened to lose the precious gift of her voice. In her confusion she began to cry, the tears fell from her face and into the pool of blood, she wiped the tears from her face only to look back down at her hand and see that the tears themselves were made of blood. Hidemi became frightened and pushed herself up from the floor, in her hurried attempt her palm swept the pool of blood and lost all traction; her hand slid through the puddle and met her blood soaked fan, and she grasped it tightly. She arose from the floor and that’s when her sadness and fear turned to rage. Rage at the man who had tried to murder her, rage at the man who stole her gift.
She could feel the fan in her hand begin to alter and shift. She looked down and began to open it, before her eyes she saw the blades of the fan grow pointed and sharp like steel, and within the fan’s ribs a new image began to form, that of a demon’s face. Within her head the demon spoke, it spoke of vengeance, not only for Hidemi but vengeance for all others like her. She listened as the demon spoke, and then she listened more… before long she was agreeing with the demon and her mind was set on what she had to do next. The demon stopped speaking and the fan quickly changed again, only this time it had reverted back to the way it was before the blood had tainted it, almost as if the fan had absorbed it as nourishment. Hidemi packed a small sack and left the okiya, she now wanders the countryside for her vengeance and to enact that vengeance and others like it for people that can no longer or will not do it for themselves.
