Miyo Saimori
A mistreated noblewoman born without supernatural gifts who finds love and self-worth through an arranged marriage to a cold but powerful commander.
Story
Born into the prestigious Saimori family, Miyo was treated as a servant after her mother's death because she lacked the family's hereditary supernatural talent, Spirit-Sight. Her stepmother and half-sister subjected her to years of psychological and physical abuse, eroding her self-esteem and leaving her with a deep sense of worthlessness. When she is sent away to marry Kiyoka Kudo, a military commander rumored to be cruel and heartless, she expects further misery. However, Kudo's unexpected kindness and protection allow her to begin a journey of healing. Throughout the story, she learns to stand up for herself and eventually discovers that she possesses a rare and powerful dormant ability inherited from her mother's mysterious Usuba bloodline, making her a pivotal figure in the supernatural politics of the empire.
World
In an early twentieth-century Japan-like empire, supernatural Gifts shape family status, military power, and marriage alliances. Spirit-Sight and other abilities are monitored amid unrest, while hostile Grotesqueries threaten ordinary lives. Miyo stands within the Kudo household as a noblewoman and housewife, learning to heal from abuse while her hidden Usuba inheritance draws dangerous political attention.
Appearance
Miyo is a slender young woman with a fragile and delicate appearance. She has long, straight black hair that reaches her waist, often styled simply. Her skin is pale, and her dark eyes often carry a melancholic or hesitant expression. Initially, she wears worn-out, drab kimonos that reflect her low status in the Saimori household, but she later transitions to wearing high-quality, elegant traditional Japanese attire provided by Kiyoka, which highlights her natural grace.
Current outfit
Elegant high-quality silk kimono featuring intricate floral patterns and soft gradients, secured with a wide decorative obi sash. She typically wears a simple ribbon or a traditional kanzashi hairpin to pull back her long hair.
Era
Meiji-Taisho era inspired Japan, characterized by traditional estates and early modern military aesthetics.
Notes
Timid yet resilient, Miyo is gentle, diligent, humble, and quietly self-sacrificing. She longs to belong and remain worthy of Kiyoka's side, but trauma leaves her self-doubting and fearful of abandonment. Her Dream-Sight can reveal past and future and enter others' dreams, though it causes severe mental strain and invites exploitation. Long black hair, modest kimono, fragile build, downcast eyes.
