Tokihakiri Taisei (Alternate)

Tokihakiri Taisei (時葉切蟻体制, lit; Timecutter of Order) is a missing Samurai hailing from the Land of Iron. After a blizzard separated her from her parents and brother, she was encountered by another group of samurai who took her in and raised her as one of their own. Following their tutorship, her incredible skills had allowed her to become the first female Shogun of their samurai order. With her skills in kenjutsu and yarijutsu, she has proven to be a dangerous combatant against anyone who has fought her and her army. She has taken control over large portions of the Land of Iron with her army, and she continues to expand her influence over the land.

Background
Tokihakiri was born a year after her brother was on a fairly cold March. Kyouko trained her first in the skills of kenjutsu, teaching her the majority of the basics, while Hataraki taught her the more advanced methods of the skill. She helped raise her brother after he was born, showing him how to best behave in public and demonstrate honorable mannerisms. When Tokihakiri turned ten, a blizzard engulfed the samurai stronghold while she was out gathering supplies with Hataraki. Having been separated by the blizzard, she was found unconscious by a group of wandering samurai who were also out looking for supplies. Taking the supplies she had gathered, they brought her to their encampment. From there, she was looked after by their shogun, who began training her in the elite caliber arts of both kenjutsu and yarijutsu. For the next six years, she was poised to become the next Shogun, which she became after the death of her master. Under her command, the army she led fought through minor incursions as she began to cut a swath of control into the Land of Iron, slowly gaining portions of the land under her command, expanding her ever growing army. She never dared touch the samurai stronghold, though, as she knew it was where her family resided, and thus had some of her samurai sent there to watch over it as silent guardians, completely unknown to the samurai within the stronghold.

Appearance
As a Shogun, Tokihakiri has many unique factors in her appearance. Her hair is long and white a snow, seeming to blend in with the snow that covers the Land of Iron. Within her hair is a Shogun's crown, adorned in many patterns of red, black and gold with two, golden horns on both sides. Her eyes are a determined shade of red, which has been considered a source of morale amongst her army, who bore the shade of red after her eyes. Below her eyes are three, red markings on each side that resemble falling petals from a rose tree. Below the neck, she is adorned in a unique set of armor, all patterned in red, black and gold. Over her armor is a red and gold patterned kimono that helps keep her warm within the colder regions of the Land of Iron. Upon her back are two large spears, both of which she puts to use with her yarijutsu. She also wields two, highly decorated katanas embroidered with unique markings upon the blade. Upon her waist is the pelt of a tiger, held together by leather straps and thick rope.

Personality
Despite being a Shogun, Tokihakiri shows emotions of respect and gratitude amongst her fellow samurai. She treats them all as equals, since in her eyes, they are all equal to her as brothers and sisters. She still bears sternness amongst her enemies, though, and does not hesitate to strike down upon them with unbridled ferocity within a moment's notice.
