A skilled swordswoman who runs the Enma-tei, a small restaurant where she works as both owner and hostess. Her name draws from the Japanese folktale "The Tongue-Cut Sparrow," and her reputation is equally colorful—she's known for being blunt with lazy customers while genuinely supportive of honest ones.
Her swordsmanship is genuinely impressive. According to legend (or so people claim), she can slice skin so precisely she removes only a single layer, and she's got a particular talent for "dealing with" people who lie. The rumor mill suggests her blade is especially suited to cutting out deceitful tongues, though take that as you will.
She sums up her philosophy pretty clearly: "I will not take your life. But I will not tolerate that deceitful tongue of yours!"
She's the type who won't hesitate to call you out if you're slacking, but she genuinely cares about doing right by those she trusts.
