Shirokage Fumino

**Shirokage Fumino** is a second year of **YamiTsume High** and is the guitarist of the band **Persephone**. A high school girl who is also a kunoichi, her family persisted the old-age art of the Shinobi and continued learning the ancient techniques of their forefathers. Her ninjutsu and her family line came from the Kōga region of ninjas who lived there in the past. Her grandfather, **Takaji Ryūjo Shirokage**, was one of the branch family from the ninjas of the Kōga.

She was served by her four retainers, each of them are students in YamiTsume High, which they have their own codenames : **Ayane Oguma** as Kurogiri, **Kanata Shiroishi** as Shirogiri, **Sazane Yanatori** as Akagiri, **Yasumasa Gō** as Aogiri. At first, they were tasked with helping Fumino with her daily chores, but after joining Persephone, Fumino asked them to watch over her bandmates as students.

## Background

Fumino is an excellent kunoichi who trained directly from her grandfather, Fumino once defeated her ninja seniors with tactics and strength. She was gifted a crimson wakizashi by her grandfather as a sign that she is ready to lead the clan once his grandfather passes away. From that day, she earned the title "Crimson Blade Shirokage".

However, after enrolling in YamiTsume High, and meeting **Izayoi** and the others, she wanted to join Izayoi and the others to have fun in a band. She was conflicted to choose between the clan or the band, and then she decided to confide to her grandfather about the problem.

Hearing that she hesitated because of such a foolish topic, her grandfather lashed out at her and told her that her answer is obvious, that she should continue to lead the clan. Fumino's retainers tried to calm her grandfather down, but they were met with even more rage. Fumino and her retainers was sent to another one of the Shirokage Household to live because her grandfather is "deeply disappointed" with her.

## Appearance

Fumino has beautiful dark greyish hair that extends to her back, and a mark of their clan on her left shoulder. She sometimes tied her hair to a ponytail or she lets it be. She usually wears traditional Japanese clothing during her summer and casual times.

In her winter outfit, she sometimes wears the cat sweater that **Sayaka** bought her, or perhaps something else entirely.

## Personality

Fumino is a reserved girl who rarely talks about anything in class. To her friends, however, she is a caring and dependable person who believes that her friends deserves the best.

She cares about her retainers too, seen when Yasumasa injured herself during training and she herself treated her wounds.

She dislikes rude behaviours and anyone who speaks rudely to her friend. When **Fuyu** asked Izayoi to stay away from her and don't talk to her, Fumino angrily shouted at Fuyu.

Fumino is not good with her words, so Fuyu made her speechless (again). She dislikes Fuyu after that, but she is in good terms with the other members of **Artemis**. She and **Yuna** are somewhat rivals.

## Trivia

* Fumino didn't watch any action ninja movies because she can confirm that she could do all those moves herself.
* On New Year's Eve every year, Fuming and her retainers visited Tokyo and viewed the fireworks from the very TOP of the **Tokyo Tower**. None of them were afraid of heights
* She has no siblings, so her retainers became her sisters. It's by this order : Yasumasa <- Fumino <- Ayane <- Kanata <- Sazane (oldest to youngest).
