Background:
Tomoe's father is a patron of Merchants and her mother is a Cavalry officer in the Unicorn army. Their marriage like most others was arranged, intended to bring about a union of prosperity and strength to the next generation. They were surprised by a wilful but beautiful daughter who would have done well at court, but instead wanted to join the Battlemaidens like her mother. Her great grandmother once met a djinn in the Burning Sands beyond the Empire's borders. Since then the female line of her family have occasionally been plagued by strange urges and odd dreams. 
Personality:
Enamoured of the warrior and riding arts Tomoe was a frustration to her parents who hoped to use her to secure an alliance with other families through the young men besotted with her. She stubbornly refused to bend and persisted in training with weapons and her mount, Her parents conceded first, much to her pleasure.  Fearless and a bit wild in battle she can be a bit shy and quiet in a more social setting.
