**Hien** (ヒエン, *Hien*?) is one of Shuro's retainers. Her real name is **Naka** (中, *Naka*?).

## Appearance

Hien is an Eastern woman who is taller than Benichidori and shorter than Tade. She has long black hair that is tied in a ponytail with a fringe swept to her left. She has small, almond-shaped eyes with two mole-like tattoos in a vertical line underneath her right eye. The two mole-like tattoos show her rank as a ninja in the Nakamoto family.

Her typical attire is a black scarf, a long-sleeved, thigh-length black robe with a slit on the left side and fastened with a red tie at the waist, black leg warmers and sandals made out of rope. She also wields a short sword.

## Personality

Hien is professional but also very confident in herself and her abilities due to being trained as a ninja ever since she was a child, just like her parents. She also considers herself very beautiful, at one point telling Benichidori that she doesn't wear make-up since she thinks she will trouble others if she becomes even **more** beautiful than she already is.

## Abilities

As one of Shuro's retainers, she is a capable warrior.

## Relationships

### Shuro

Like the other retainers, Hien calls Shuro a version of young master (坊, *bō*, lit. "boy"). She thinks of him as a little troublesome, but respects his orders. She is surprised when he thanks or apologizes to her.

She and Shuro were very close as children as she was raised in the same household, Hien ended up taking on an older sister-type role to Shuro, who was something of a crybaby when he was younger. As they got older Hien had made the assumption that Shuro would most likely fall in love with her, since Shuro's father had fallen in love with his retainer Maizuru. She was shocked when she found out that Shuro had fallen in love with the foreigner Falin (Though she insists that she never had actual romantic feelings towards him).

### Maizuru

As Maizuru is the more senior of the two retainers, Hien respects her orders on and off the battlefield.

### Benichidori

Hien is often paired with Benichidori for tasks. Conflict arose between them when Hien casually stated that she didn't think Benichidori needed to wear makeup, this was a sore spot for Benichidori since she heavily dislikes how she looks, and she ended up snapping at Hien, calling her ugly and insulting her for not even wearing foundation. Though when Hien simply replied that she didn't want to trouble others by making herself even more beautiful than she already was, Benichidori was so shocked by her attitude that she ended up appreciating her blunt personality, and they became close friends.

### Tade

Hien's comments keep Tade's more fanciful ideas in check. She does, however, care for Tade when she is injured.

### Asebi

Hien thinks lowly of Asebi for her lack of gratitude towards the Nakamoto family who took her in.
