Renka (Senran Kagura)

==Summary==
Renka (蓮華) and her two younger sisters, Kafuru and Hanabi, have been training to become shinobi as long as the three of them can remember. One evening, while they were playing hide-and-seek in their village, they met a strange, red-eyed girl about their age. Despite the village's strict rules about spending time with outsiders, the sisters invited this strange girl to play with them, and she happily did so. The sisters continued to secretly play with their unnamed friend day after day, until one day the girl gave them a strange warning. She told them to get the entire village evacuated by dusk, for there was a yoma on its way. Fearing the reprocussions that might have befallen them once the leaders of the village found out they were playing with an outsider, they refrained from following the girl's orders. Sure enough, that night after dusk, a yoma attacked and killed everyone in the village. The sisters would have joined the rest of their village in this fate had the strange girl not arrived just as the monster was approaching them. As the sisters watched they saw that the girl was not all that she seemed. She managed to hold her own against the yoma until it gobbled her whole, but only moments later the beast exploded into pieces. Though it was assumed the strange girl was the cause of the explosion, she was nowhere to be seen afterwards.
It's been over a dozen years, but now, with the Kagura Millenium Festival underway, the Mikaruga sisters have the opportunity to see the girl who passed away one last time, apologize, and thank her for saving their lives.
She dislikes effeminate and cutesy things. If there’s a commotion somewhere, she’s prone to butting in and raising her own brand of hell. No matter how tense a situation gets, though, she has a sense of humor about her and uses her laughter to break across to the other side.
