== Biography ==
Twilight always knew what she wanted to be. She was proud of her people’s samurai heritage, but the military order’s blithering bureaucracy disaffected her. To uphold the ideals of a samurai was to show unflinching devotion to one’s people as much as to one’s blade, and the Order of the Eclipse gave her that opportunity.
Their mission was singular: shroud the world in endless darkness. Twilight took to this cause with a religious zeal. She never questioned, never thought twice. She just needed something to fight for. To kill for. The Eclipse gave her an avenue for the harsh discipline of cruelty, and she reveled in it silently. Until Goyoku came. 
The Order of the Eclipse had clung to the shadows for millennia. Goyoku and her band of misfit pirates unraveled it in a matter of hours, slaughtering every last samurai in search of a mysterious ancient treasure. When Twilight was the last one standing, she offered Goyoku a deal: if she could best the dragon in single combat, Goyoku would gather her thugs and leave forever. But if Goyoku won, rather than claiming the ancient treasure, she would claim Twilight as a member of her crew.
Even then, the samurai knew she was no match.
Twilight served Goyoku with every ounce of discipline with which she had once served the Eclipse—until her demise came at the hands of a group of Black Wardens she had been tasked with eliminating. Goyoku’s crew returned Twilight’s body to her family in Shokushu—a family that had not heard from her in years.
Some time later, a group of Goyoku’s former associates—Russer, Daegan, and Dab—raided the Eclipse headquarters in search of the treasure left behind. It was a pocket dimension, a cave whose only entry was a pitch black puddle on the outskirts of Shokushu. They discovered the ancient relic: a naginata so dark, so absent of light, that it looked like a two-dimensional imprint on 3D space. A shade of Twilight materialized before them and explained that this weapon, the Moonscythe of the Shifting Shade, contained the souls of every Eclipse samurai who had ever fallen. As the last of them, Twilight now spoke for the blade.
The trio turned the weapon over to the Black Wardens to be locked in their vaults. As far as anyone knows, it hasn’t moved since. And neither has Twilight.
