Jingū Tennō

"Cut a head, and sometimes you'll end up making three more take it's place, when you cut - cut deep. Cut to it's heart, cut to it's loved one's hearts, their children's hearts, their friend's hearts, then those who whisper rumors about the heart's you've cut - only then can you be sure that your enemy has died. An enemy, is not a person. They are ideas, concepts, and to squash it out you need to make the very mention of those ideas, those beliefs vanish. Understand though, that they will never truly die. They will haunt you, and sometimes even come back from the dead, and the process of execution will begin again. An idea is a double-edged sword. To truly crush an idea, you must possess a stronger one - one that does not budge, unwavered. A stronger ideal and belief will always crush another. That is the truest weapon of the world."

- Jingu in her speech to her Samurai upon her taking the title of Lord of Iron

Jingū Tennō (神功皇后) Jingū is the present Lord of Iron, a of infamous power that leads the. She removed the previous heads of the state through a successful coup, eliminating each and every contender for the right to rule. Her rise to power was bloody and swift, and from her was left a trail of silence. All her enemies, supporters, and those that even spoke of opposing her were dealt with. Since her rule, she has guided the Land of Iron, using her influence to bring the north under her sway. Jingū has looked to the, aiming her conquest there next. In her quest, she had the former Daimyo of Iron ousted in order to replace him with someone that fell firmly beneath her thumb.

Jingū's power and successful coup earned her the endearment of many titles, many of which were slanderous and fitting. As a youth, she coined the title of Okami no Yuki (豺狼, Wolf of the Snow), as she was plucked from the life of wanton crime as a bandit, into a blooming Samurai. The harshness of the winter storms molded her, and the cruelty of her surroundings shaped her into a fine warrior. Relentless and cold as the winds that blew around her. The titles that were given to her, come only after her claim of the Land of Iron. The Hana no Shi (花棄世, Blossom of Death), Hakashia (破壊者, Destroyer), Enka no Tetsu (煙火, Enka no Testu), and the Sakezuki no Obokochi (ひだりとう, Drinker of Innocent Blood).

Her acquirement of the throne of the Land of Iron leads Jingū to now make her way to the north and to claim what she believes to be rightfully hers. In doing so, she has placed the Samurai once more as a global power, and she hopes to cut away the weakness she sees in the world, starting up and carving down once her power begins to grow.
