## Character History

### Young age (OVA 1)

The Plum Blossom Swordsman is a master of kung-fu who believes no woman can master the sword, though to his dismay he had thirteen daughters.

He is the owner of the residence in the mountain plum blossom, over the years many tried to murder him without success.

Many challenged him in combat including the famed "Heir to the Conqueror's Spear" whom he defeated with just a glance.

After years without finding an heir to his aging techniques and sword skills, he became sad and frustrated, but the universe brought a woman to his dwelling with whom he could have the son that he wanted so much. After his son was born, his daughter saw him smiling for the first time. Before long, his wife left her home while taking her youngest daughter, Thirteen.

## Personality

The Plum Blossom Swordsman is a stubborn and serious man who dismisses the idea of teaching his techniques to any of his daughters.

In fact, he seems to not care about any of his children and only named them in the order in which they are born and it's not until his son is born that he shows any kind of parental love.

## Abilities and techniques

### Masterly in Kung-Fu

The Plum Blossom Swordsman is a renowned kung fu master who has mastered his art to the highest level. Because of this achievement, he's gained a high range of abilities including super senses which allowed him to detect a sniper who was at a far distance. Furthermore, he'd then proceed to cut a high caliber bullet with his sword and after reacting to the assassin's incoming attack. He then took a plum leaf out of the air with which he showed a force and prominent aim when launching said leaf at a great distance towards his attacker, killing him in the process.

### Mastery in the Plum Blossom Sword technique

The Plum Blossom Swordsman's greatest strength in combat is his prominent and powerful mastery of the sword. He proved capable of making quick and precise cuts by slashing a high caliber bullet, along with several trees, from a sniper rifle in half in a clean strike.

### Plum Blossom Sword

The sword from the Plum Blossom villa belongs to the best swordsman in the world. It's a long silver sword with a Blossom piece at the start of the blade which also has a handle with a place to tie a rope. Not much is known on what this sword can do or what it is made out of, but it belongs to the greatest swordsman in the world, so it might have something else to it.

### Heir to the Conqueror's Spear

The Plum Blossom Swordsman's skill with the sword is so fast and certain that he makes it look like he cut with his gaze the spear of easily.

## Relationships

### Eleven

The Plum Blossom Swordsman definitely isn't close with his 11th daughter.

He even had hope towards her by teaching her how to fight against her bullies but all she told him was that she didn't want to fight. He only told her she was too weak and needed to get stronger. Currently, she had left his household for an unknown reason but they don't seem close.

### Thirteen

Like Eleven, the Plum Blossom Swordsman is also not close to his 13th daughter. According to Thirteen, she mentions how "my father never said goodbye." after she left the Plum Blossom villa with her mother.

At first, she wanted to show her training to her father, but he breaks her spirit and tells her that she is living in fear and telling her she will never be worthy. Even after Thirteen has left the household, they seem to have such a connection as she considered going to beg him to help cure Seven's poison.

## Trivia

* In the fight between Eleven and Thirteen in Seven VS Thirteen, she mentions they were from two different mothers. However, this was only mentioned once, but it's possible that the Plum Blossom Swordsman went to another woman to try and get a male baby, which also explains why Thirteen's mother only took Thirteen with her when leaving.
