Sagiri Minamoto

**Sagiri Minamoto** is one of the last remaining members of the Minamoto bloodline thought to have gone into extinction hundreds of years ago. She is still present however, and currently working as the Chief Inquisitor of Japan. She is the greatest law enforcer in the nation and has dedicated her life to capturing the Kijin Four for their involvement in the Heisei Rebellion and actions against the government.

## Appearance

Sagiri wears a black Nanban helm that features a front crest with a relief of a six-character name for the Buddha, known as a Rokuji-Myogo, which is recited to show one's deep devotion. Chanting this prayer is thought to guarantee a safe passage to Paradise after death and its inclusion on her hat signifies that the wearer is always ready to die no matter the battlefield. She wears upper body armor with an incredibly understated design that does away with unnecessary obstructions. It is made by fixing long, thick iron plates vertically. This cuirass also comes with a throat protector consisting of gold, inspired by Western armor. She has a pair of gauntlets consisting of long thin iron plates bound together. The left sleeve of the coat worn over them has been cut off, leaving the left gauntlet exposed in order to allow for easy and swift movement of the arm when aiming a firearm. Her waistguard consists of six tassets, comprised of long platelets sewn together. The formal coat and leather that wrap around to the rear in place of thigh armor provides further protection from both enemy attacks and the cold. Her greaves are artfully crafted with leather and bound with a light brown cord. Their refined style is befitting of their owner's lineage. The iron sandals worn with them are particularly thick at the toes, providing a focal point to channel Sagiri's superhuman strength. Her kicks were known to be powerful enough to kill her opponents outright.

## Abilities

**Halfling Physiology**: Halflings possesses the following features well above the level of an ordinary human: dexterity, strength, speed, sensory capabilities, adaptability, coordination, balance, healing, reflex, agility, durability, regeneration and endurance. Eir/Seithr being the universal force that it is, stimulates or improves all of their physical capabilities and because of this these things are naturally expected of someone who has awoken to the power it can provide. Most of their power comes from their non-human parent, an example would be that of a Demon Lord's child, which would only be able to fight at the level of a Demon Prince because that is considered half of their power. Halflings can move at speeds well beyond the return stroke of lightning with ease, lift entire skyscrapers, stay underwater for several days, survive point-blank explosives and regenerate from fatal wounds.

Their only shortcoming is a lack of stamina, though they can fight longer than humans, they can't exert themselves for too long as a result of their cellular incompatibility. They appear to have semi-immortality since they no longer age physically after reaching adulthood and in most cases cannot be killed by conventional human methods such as poisoning, being shot/stabbed or being hit with powerful spells. However it is not impossible for them to develop illnesses and sicknesses.
