Standing out in school:<br/>Adaptability, friendliness or awareness<br/><br/>7. Clan Relationship: <br/>Hikari maintains a strrong relationship with her clan.  Both her parents are skilled samurai in their own right and took turns training her in all aspects of Bushido. Hikari knows she can call on them when she truly needs, though her own pride means she is rarely apt to do so. <br/><br/>8. Bushido: <br/>Hikari believes Bushido is a guide to live by, but absolute observation leads to a life where you cannot better yourself. In this, she is a follower of her clan's teachings, seeking to understand Bushido to find enlightenment.<br/><br/>9. Accomplishment: Hikari's greatest accomplishment to date was just after her gempukku, when her Daimyo asked her to escort a merchant caravan from the keep to a small nearby village. Bandits had moved into the area and the caravan needed protection while more experienced samurai rooted the bandits out of the forest. About halfway through the journey, in the densest part of the forest, the caravan came under attack by a small group of the bandits. Outnumbered, Hikari was wounded and lost the use of her right arm during the battle, having to rely on her left hand to fend the bandits off. A dozen bodies lay around her, blood drenching her clothing, by the time reinforcements had come.<br/><br/><br/>10. Setback: After the attack on the merchant caravan and after recovering, Hikari had joined the search for the bandit hideout. When they found the hideout, Hikari went into a fury, striking down any of the bandits she could reach. Her anger and bloodthirst was such that even after being ordered to leave them alive to face judgement, she still struck them down. Her anger is her greatest setback to her goals in life, causing her to lash out when pushed and slay a foe when she should have saved them.<br/><br/><br/>11. At Peace: Hikari finds the art of shibari, being bound by rope, peaceful and almost meditative. An unusual hobby, especially for a samurai. While it is not one she publicly advertises, she does carry a small token to show that she practices it, a knot of rope with a golden hand clasping it.<br/><br/><br/>12. Anxiety: Hikari's greatest worry in life is being able to find someone to spend the rest of it with. Every relationship she's had, every attempt at romance, ended in tragedy in one form or another. Even the arranged marriage with a bushi from the Phoenix had ended poorly when the bushi lost his life to a ronin bandit.<br/><br/><br/>13. Important Relationship: <br/><br/><br/>14. Distinctive Traits and Behaviors: <br/><br/><br/>15. Under Stress: <br/><br/><br/>16. Existing Relationships With Other Groups: Hikari, like most Mirumoto, has a rivalry going with the Kakita and their duelist school. She sees them as the prime roadblock to her greatness as a duelist and seeks to challenge them where possible. She holds respect for the crab clan, the harshness of their lands being so similar to her own home. While Hikari's mother is from the Lion clan, there is little interaction she has had with them outside of the odd relative coming to visit.<br/><br/>17. Parents: Both of Hikari's parents were samurai and bushi in their own right, her father an accomplished duelist himself and her mother a Matsu of the Lion clan. Hikari's own sometimes rash nature can be traced to her Lion lineage<br/><br/><br/>18. Glorious Sacrifice: <br/>One of your ancestors perished honorably in battle, and their signature Razor-edged Sacred Jian was lost. Hikari's ancestor, whom she was named for, had gone to assist the Crab Clan against the threats of jigoku, <br/><br/>20. Death:<br/>Against a strong foe in single combat<br/></div></div>
