Misaho Soyokaze

Kunoichi Of Heavenly Storms (天の嵐のくノ一, “Ten No Arashi No Kunoichi”)

(美佐穂 , “Beauty”)

* Soyokaze

(そよ風, *“Breeze”*)

**Misaho Soyokaze** is a wandering Kunoichi with no home left to her name. She was conceived and brought into a home without any civilization to the real world, and for many years she believed this was a “normal”  life. In reality, the household she grew up in was a blatant lie that would, later on, blow up in her face and break the entire family dynamic Misaho believed there was. For most of her childhood, life seemed harmless and things were at ‘peace’. She was an only child who lived in the deep forests of the Land of Jungle, and she had two parents. Her father, who was a powerful and strong man seemed to be her former Idol. Her mother, seemed often to lack emotions and was mute for most of her life. Eventually, the lies were unable to deceive Misaho. The truth was, her mother was held captive for many years by Misaho’s abusive father. The man had all the power to create a false reality for their daughter to live in his dream scenario of having his own little family with the woman he ‘loved’. The revealment was followed by an attempt at escaping by Misaho and her mother, however, the two did not manage to escape together. Misaho lost her mother at the hands of her father, but the odds were not entirely stacked against her because, in the end, she got to break free of her father's chains.

From then on, the woman was traveling by herself for years. She was too scared to stay put in one place because she knew her escape would not mean the end of her father’s rage, he was going to get Misaho back either dead or alive. In these years of traveling, she’s been to many places and met many along the way, but none were able to stay by her side because she would always lose them along the way. The losses only made her grow more distant from civilization, she believed she only endangered the people around her. Despite the angst and trauma, Misaho became a kunoichi to find out more about the Clan she belongs to and to avenge those who lost their lives at the hands of her father. To this day, she still roams the world for answers, power, and revenge.

## **History**

### Wandering The Waking World

From the moment Misaho managed to escape her captivity, she got to experience how the majority of the waking world lives. She visited multiple villages as a traveler, at least that was her cover-up when she decided to involve herself in public environments which was a rare sight. In most cases, she moved with and in the shadows, almost always heavily layered to cover up her prominent features as well as her physique. Of course, it wasn’t always like this. During the first months after the escape she was in luck of meeting someone along the way who took her in. To Misaho’s surprise, the person she met was an older man who went by a surname that was the same as hers; Soyokaze, and his first name was Kyousuke. The man revealed that both of them came from the same Clan and that their Clan was endangered all by the hands of her father; Satsujin Soyokaze. Misaho was able to stay with Kyousuke for a short period of time and within that time, she managed to learn a little bit about her roots, as well as the techniques of the clan. Misaho grew a little stronger at the hands of Satsujin, but things did not stay the same. She was sent away and abandoned by her Sensei with little to no explanation as to why he did not want to stay by her side. She was only advised that she would never have the availability to live a normal life as long as her father was alive, and so, she would need to live in the shadows. Although, Misaho felt hurt and betrayed she made the conclusion her mentor did not have any intentions of stepping up to become any sort of guide or parental figure and probably had different plans for life, perhaps fear played a factor in sending her away too. She would never have the chance of finding the right answer. The two permanently took their separate ways.

In the next following years, Misaho only lived by herself and for herself. She did not waste time to make bonds she could potentially lose, because she had already lost enough people around herself because of the situation she was in. Her travels only gave her more insights about her clan, although these insights were rare and extremely hard to find because the Soyokaze Clan was extremely endangered and had been for multiple generations. Who’s to say how many of the members are still alive? The Clan’s reputation only became more unknown with the passing years, those who knew about it were either caught up with ancient lore or were extremely old. Within these years Misaho would find herself either running in silence or in the panic of either being close to getting caught by any of the people who worked under her father’s rule or almost getting sensed by them. However, the kunoichi always managed to slip away.

## **Personality**

There are not a majority of people who were able to get close enough to her to actually see the type of person she is, but for those, she revealed herself to, one would find her to be mysterious and aloof. Truthfully, she’s not a woman of a lot of words and only speaks when she deems it to be necessary. However, it would be a wrong assumption to assume her silence because of bashfulness. She’s the type to analyze and observe her environments first before making a move or letting out a sound, careful not to expose herself to anything that could mean trouble or a threat. This does not mean she’s one to bite her tongue when facing disturbances of her peace. She’s aggressive in cases where she feels like running isn’t an option and she has to protect herself, basically, she would do anything to survive.

Behind the silence and cold expressions, there is a hidden side to her that you will only see once she reveals her true personality. Those who have gotten through the cold facade know her as a caring, supportive, and kind person. The inner shell is much more of a brighter and warm personality. Her kind nature often makes her stubborn in the sense that she does not always put herself first when it comes to these people, for those she truly cares for she would do anything to bless them with happiness and guarantee their safety, even if this hurts herself in the end. That is why she is not the type of person to confine in another person if she is hurting.
