Description
Originally born in England, Nashiko was raised by her explorer father. Her name was not originally Nashiko, her birth calling was Elizabeth Haxton. Elizabeth's father would bring her story books from his travels which she would completely immerse herself in, but it was the tales from Japan she loved the most and longed to go there. At the age of 6 her father agreed to take her on one of his journeys to the the land of the rising sun.Sadly, after only a few days there, her father & his crew were attacked by rogue samurai. Only she managed to escape. She was later found by the head of the geisha organisation, weeping under a sakura tree.
There she was raised by them and taught how to fight. In exchange she must help the geisha organisation hunt down oni and evil spirits. She was then given the name Nashiko and bestowed with the power of the Sakura Blade. Her true motivation isΒ to hunt down and kill her father's murderers.
As well as using the power of the Sakura Blade, Nashiko carries with her the book of Japanese myths and legends which was a gift from her father. From this book she is able to summon anyone or anything who is written. Since the book is already complete, she is unable to write a tale of her father, despite her most agonising inclinations.
