Male and Female main charactersprotagonists A Japanese Geisa, Ninja and Samurai Story The Flower and Willow World . Sold to a Geishas house at the age of 4, Tomoe was drilled and disciplined hard while growing up. Not knowing if she would one day have the makings of a fine and prosperous Geisha, she was obligated to do all the cleaning and work of the House along with three other children of different ages. She catered to the main Geisha in her youth at the time, HOTARU and would often watch her in the quiet of the night when she was supposed to be in bed. Enamored by her breathtaking beauty and grace, she was determined to be one, the best on in all of the Geisha district and beyond, one day, even to accompany the Emperor, this being the Height of The Geisha's world in the mid 1800's. With such high goals and dreams, discipline was an absolute which she followed to perfection. As she ripened to the age of 10, the owner of the house died from tuberculosis, leaving the entire house to HOTARU . Now the master, the oldest of them at 12, Izumi, already in training for two years , was placed next on the list and HOTARU took personal responsibility for training her day in and day out before and after classes. The house needed an income and as fast as they could. A new student was picked to be Izumis little sister and when the time came, she finally graduated also. As such, of the two left, Tomoe was picked to attend classes and to be Izumi's Little sister. While she had some infrequent times off, including herr strict schedule around the house among other shadow things, she still had it easier that Izumi, who was slowly breaking fast as the years went by. The servant of one of her most popular customers caught Izumis eye one day, at the age of 16. In a fashion of desperation and young love, Izumi broke all protocol, very discretely and began an affair with the boy. This ruined her chances of gaining a high value when her supposed misuage was up to be for bidding virginity but no one knew of it. Knowing of this affair, Tomoe kept her mouth shut, for she was an excellent little sister, with no big sister in her real life and soon the time would come for the bidding at 16 for Izumi. Finally, the bidding war began as Tomoe continued to study hard and furiously in all her obligations and pursuits, even during her off times, though no one would know. Now 2 years into her training, her big sisters misuage was formally announced whom the highest bidder was and had the rights to Izumi's Mizuage, as Tomoe reached the age of 14 The following day, after inspection of the bed sheets, disaster struck and it became known far and wide that she was of no value and no virgin. This put great shame on Hotarus House and she became enraged. During the rage, she forced Izumi into submission and bound her. Then Hotaru beat and beat Izumi and burned her, scarring her face and broke many of her bones. Having great hidden mercy, Tomoe would sneak in at times unknown and give water to Izumi, though there was nothing else she could do and Izumis career, beauty, and health was forever ruined. Without another thought, Tomoe, at 14 and in training for 2 years already, was placed in the highest of priorities to become a great Geisha and restore honor to the house. Already way ahead of the others in her class, and placed in advanced classes, Hotaru now began to train her the way she had once trained Izumi. Tomoe was driven though in more than one way and wanted to work at it and for itand the flower and master of the arts she quickly became within 2 years. Training and working, earning an amazing reputation, the honor of the house was being reconsidered and Tomoe never stepped a single hair out of place. Soon, at the age of 16, the game of bidding for her intact mizuage was announced and this time, Hotaru had her examined and let the information be leaked out as the bidding war began to grow higher and higher. Finally, a huge sum was offered in the bidding, greater than any Geisha to proceed her, and the highest bidder gained the rights to her. As the next two years past, a full Geisha now, she made her house very rich indeed and word of her spread far and wide, while other things were kept a complete mystery.
