Meisuīki



Meisuīki (水域命, lit. "Life Waters") is an ancient figure residing in the seas surrounding the Land of Water. Revered as a protector deity by the local populations of outlying islands, she is prayed to for safe passage and bountiful harvests, seen as a guardian of fisherman and seafarers. In truth, she is but a figure once disenchanted with the world. Born Shiogetsu Hōzuki (鬼灯潮月, Hōzuki Shiogetsu) in the early stages of the Warring States Period, she was an unwilling bride turned medical-nin. Shio excelled as her blood-thirsty clan's foremost healer, but hated every second of it. It didn't make sense to her, healing them, only for her clansmen to go out, kill or be killed, or return with grievous injuries. She eventually fled, using the clan hallmark while diving into the sea: the woman was presumed dead. Yet, she survived...then thrived.
