Minase Shizuka is one of the three main heroines from the Fate inspired Dungeons and Dragons Campaign, Fate/Umbral Veil.

### Profile

#### Background

Minase grew up in Tokyo, Japan to two very superstitious parents. When her oni features, her prominent tusks, came in during puberty, they kicked Minase out of the house claiming she would bring curses upon them.

During that time, she learned how to fend for herself and scour the city for ways to survive, eventually coming under the wing of the Yakou Family, a powerful group of Mages. Minase was unaware of the true world at her feet, but needed to eat to live, so agreed to act as an enforcer due to her size and strength.

She performs this role for a decade, becoming closely knit with the Yakou. During a conversation with the heiress, the 12-year old Akira, Minase learned of their true plan. After learning of this, Minase was sent to a warehouse owned by the family to be disposed of by hitmen. During the fight, Minase desperately reached for something to defend herself - a large greatsword in a glass case. She drew the sword, and when she woke up next, she was clinging to her life in a room of dead bodies.

Panicking, she ran and made for the docks. There, she heard of work in Europe, and shipped off towards what she thought to be safety and a fresh start.

#### Personality

Minase is an extremely gruff and straight to the point person, often skipping through the nonsense and asking the questions that nobody wants to ask, assuming she understands the question. She is also very careful around others to not remove her mask, her tusks being a dead giveaway to her true nature, though this is lessened toward the party ever since it was knocked off during an assassination attempt by the Kitsune working for the Yakou.

She isn't very knowledgeable about the world of Mages outside of what she's experienced personally, as her talents lie in the martial, though is currently learning from Abelard.

It has been shown that she has a soft side, especially toward children like Alistair and Akira.
