**Benichidori**  (ベニチドリ, *Benichidori*?) is one of Shuro's retainers. Her real name is **Matsu** (待つ, *Matsu*?).

## Appearance

Benichidori is an Eastern woman who is shorter than Hien. She has long black hair that is tied in a low ponytail with a bow. Her fringe is swept to her right. She has large, almond-shaped eyes and appears to have two mole-like tattoos in a vertical line on the side of her nose. The two mole-like tattoos show her rank as a ninja in the Nakamoto family.

Her typical attire is a black sleeveless robe tied at the waist, some kind of black scarf, black forearm guards, black knee-high socks and sandals. She seems to wield a *kunai*.

## Personality

Benichidori appears to be fairly quiet, not talking much even among her fellow retainers. She is subservient to others around her as she had to be cautious to the moods of those around her since she was young. She has extreme dysmorphia regarding her face, and always wears heavy makeup in order to hide what she believes are her many imperfections. She also has something of a temper when her face is brought up, snapping at Hien when the latter mentioned offhand that she didn't think Benichidori had to wear makeup.

## Abilities

She is likely a competent fighter, able to take down a number of harpies along with the other retainers, although her specific abilities in combat have not been seen yet.

## Relationships

### Shuro

As one of his five retainers, she seems to respect his orders.[*citation needed*] She seems a little surprised that he has fallen in love with a 'girl from the north', believing that it is not the right time for a relationship between them.

### Maizuru

As Maizuru is the more senior retainer, Benichidori listens to her orders both on and off the battlefield.

### Hien

Benichidori is most often seen with Hien, and appears to be paired off with her for duties. They became close friends after an incident where Hien casually remarked that she didn't think Benichidori needed to wear makeup, this infuriated her and caused her to snap at Hien, calling her ugly and criticising her lack of even basic makeup. When Hien brazenly stated that she didn't want to trouble others by making herself even **more** beautiful than she already was, Benichidori was so blown away by her blunt personality that she got over her anger and started to appreciate that she could be honest with Hien and not having to worry about offending her.

### Tade

Benichidori, along with Hien, seems to be fairly close with Tade.

### Asebi

Benichidori does not appear to interact with Asebi apart from them both listening to Maizuru's orders as Shuro's retainers.

## Trivia
