==Summary==
<tabber>
|-|Hisako=
Hisako is a vengeful ghost who protects her home village against any intruders, while acting as a gatekeeper between the Astral and the Mundane Plane. In life she was the daughter of a rōnin in feudal Japan, and her wish was to become an onne-bugeisha like her ancestor. One day she refused the advances of a an aristocrat, who exacted his revenge by slaughtering Hisako's familiy and the locals with his band of soldiers. Bracing her dying father's naginata, Hisako fought bravely until she succumbed to the wounds, but not before taking the life of the culprit and assuring victory to the villagers. Her spirit was noticed by the Ichoriens, who rewarded her bravery by giving her a new existence. Since then Hisako's spirit guards the village, coming back every time someone poses a threat to her people.
In current times ARIA sent her forces to desecrate Hisako's protected grounds, hoping to lure the ghost out and study human existence after death. Summoned in the Mundane Plane once again, Hisako discovers that a menace greather than Ultratech is looming over the world: The Shadow Lord Gargos. 
|-|Shin Hisako=
Shin Hisako is an alternate version of Hisako who obtained her father's katana by following the call of the Guardian Spirit that lives within it. Connecting with the Guardian freed Hisako from her shackles, her thirst for revenge no longer haunting her. Despite remaining a ghost, Hisako now bears new powers and is able to hunt down her enemies with renewed strength and pace of mind.

Standard Equipment:
<tabber>
|-|Hisako=
*Naginata: A traditional Japanese pole weapon. Hisako inherited it from her dying father centuries ago, but the passing of time has not affected its ability to slice through any opponent.
*Neko-te/Cat's Claw: A ninja weapon gifted to Hisako by her father for self-protection. It consists in several golden blades laced with deadly poison that fit over the fingers of Hisako's right hand. 
|-|Shin Hisako=
*Katana: A long sword brimming with power. It replaced the Naginata as Hisako's weapon of choice, and she can wield either with one or both hands. Instead of being a common sword it is actually a Guardian Spirit which coalesced itself into a weapon, in a similar fashion to Tusk's Wolf Spirit. 
*Armour: Pieces of armor made of an unknown metal that offer a certain degree of protection. This set consists of:
**Dou: A chest plate.
**Sode: Rectangular shoulder protections.
**Suneate: Shin guards.
</tabber>
Optional Equipment: Crafting Materials, Consumables, Artifacts and Guardians
Intelligence: Above Average (An extremely capable warrior, with years of military training performed in life and centuries of activity as a gatekeeper. Combined her knowledge and newfound powers to develop a unique fighting style. Tracked down Ultratech across the world and defeated some of their most valuable assets, such as Sadira and ARIA. Acted as a guide to Kim Wu, putting her on the right path to discover more about herself and how to face the incoming dangers. During the war against Gargos she partook in many different missions around the world, battling groups of Mimics, Omens and other creatures from the Astral Plane, as well as rescuing civilians caught up in the disorders)
Weaknesses: Her energies wane the further she gets from her , forcing her to absorb spiritual energy from powerful warriors in order to buy time and not be pulled back into the Astral Plane | None notable, as the bonds tying her to the graveyard have been severed.
Note: Although it is repeteadly stated that she left her corporeal form and became a ghost, there aren't enough evidences to prove her being an incorporeal entity, at least when he appears in the Mundane Plane. Not only she and a great variety of characters can interact with each other, but other spiritual characters, such as Gargos and Omen, are shown or hinted to be unable to either enter the Mundane Plane in their original form or even exists without turning into physical entities. Lastly, her status as a conventional ghost is questionable, as the Ichoriens turned her into a gatekeeper between the two planes.
