Hisame Tanuki Miko - Priestess of God of Fortune

 

Hisame is a priestess of the God of Fortune at the temple of Gama.

The young priestess belongs to the tribe of the tanuki, of all the bakemono the most closely related to Kaiun who commands fortune and luck is one of the most beloved among the myriad of gods.

Hisame's father, like many Tanuki, is a small trader who makes kimonos. He would have liked his daughter to follow in his footsteps, but Hisame is very good at mantra recitation and was noticed by the priests of Kaiun's shrine.

Hisame is a cheerful girl, very skilled in mantra recitation and extremely capable in the fight against evil spirits and demonic yokai.

In a short time, Hisame became an excellent exorcist, not only powerful, but also well-liked by the people of the villages around the main shrine of God, where she moved.

Here she met a young oni samurai, about her age, Arashin.

Although the boy has a gruff and surly demeanour, Hisame, seeing his intimate, good and refined nature, fell in love.

Unfortunately, her love for Arashin conflicts with her duties as a priestess.

Meanwhile, the young priestess has other duties and concerns. The spirits and demons of the villages near the shrine are agitated and attack the population more often.

This is very strange, because on the heart islands, the most central islands of Yatai, the power of the Divine Myriad and Yaezakura no Mikoto, the Cherry Goddess who protects the archipelago is stronger and the forces of chaos should be weak.

Determined to get to the bottom of the matter, she sets out on a long journey to Haeda, the highest shrine of Yaezakura to question the Goddess. And if that were not enough, all the way to distant Mount Wind to talk to the Kitsune tribe, of all people bakemono, the most skilled spellcasters and spiritists.

First Prince Lanxu Jinhui

Immagine
  Like the man after whom it was named, Crown Prince Jinhui is a paragon of virtue. Generous, forgiving, an able politician and a decisive ruler. Compassionate and loved by his people. In front of his brothers and his mother he maintains this façade of impassive coldness regardless of the situation he finds himself in, in reality he is terrified. The idea that one day the throne will fall to him and that he will not be able to count on his mother or his brothers terrorises him to the depths of his soul and sometimes makes him incapable of making even the simplest decisions. Jinhui does not feel lucky. On the contrary, he is convinced that bad luck and cosmic imbalance have been weighing down on him since birth and fears that without his family, the empire could fall apart. Fortunately for him, the brothers are his firm allies and neither of them aspires to the throne. On the contrary, both Baoren and Rongjin are devoted to their elder brother even too much, often overburdening Jinh...

Second Prince Baoren

Even as a child, Baoren (保仁, Bǎorén, Protection of the benevolence) never liked court etiquette or life in the imperial palace. Baoren has always been the nightmare of tutors and masters. Even as a child, the young prince showed remarkable skill with the sword, so much so that he was considered a prodigy. Convinced that the empire should be a dispenser of justice, he fought and killed a corrupt official. This cost him suspension from his court duties as captain of the guard. After a terrible quarrel with the Empress, who wanted to punish the official according to the laws of the empire and not with the blade of a wandering avenger, Baoren cut his hair, which can only be kept long by the imperial aristocracy, and makes himself look like a plebeian swordsman. He goes around the country with his sword to punish the wicked and right wrongs. Followed by the agents of the Yǐngwěi (The Shadowguard), always in between to use the force to capture the Prince or not, and the commander of the whic...

Daikura Clan Sashimono

The Daikura are the second of the six great clans. Militarily, they are perhaps more powerful than the Daiasu. However, the need to maintain numerous castles in order to keep the Oni and other peoples in their domains, greatly reduces their military possibilities. Since the final defeat of the Kokuden, instead of improving, the situation has worsened and about one third of their domains are almost no man's land. Only the castles and their dependencies form islands of stability in a territory preyed upon by the shinobi clan of the demon flower and bands of wild Oni. According to tradition, the Daikura clan is descended from the god of Mount Yokinobu, who is said to have given them a fan made of pine. This great treasure (hence the clan's name), kept in the great hall of the family shrine (another possible reading of the kanji that form the name of Uji), is invaluable and endowed with great powers It is not clear, however, what powers they are (maybe it could control the weather ...
