She became somewhat well-remembered for her capture as an Imperial prisoner and the inexplicable circumstances of her peaceful release, allowing her to return to her his side.--> Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi.<p>High-powered, she knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her years, playing an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful of the repatriation of refugees; of reconciling the land with its life; and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. The end of the war has not once seen her drive forward slow to inertia. <p>Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.</P></div></div> |

While not impossible to reason with, she is one who keeps her eyes on the prize. Loyal and undistracted, she has a model one-tracked mind, adopting her late lord's unfulfilled political agenda into the welfare of Doma. She spares none who oppose the newly reclaimed security of her home. Though given to giving herself fully, she also values her own purpose as a torchbearer and will not meaninglessly dash into harm's way.</div> |

Does not respond mercifully towards betrayals to the group. Interestingly, she takes under her wing only those who prove capable of fending for themselves, though they need not necessarily be team players. Her leadership methodology is distinct in the latitude she allows her followers to act as according to their own will; she is not known to strictly govern or regulate their thoughts.<br>A proud personality, she looks with favor on individuals with great martial ability. When faced with a moral crossroads, she firmly believes that the ends justify the means. </div> |

Formerly a samurai serving beneath her lord, the loss of a master impacted him profoundly. Perhaps due to their alike pain, the two share an unspoken mutual understanding. Hayato's memory is far-reaching, owed to his superior ability to associate sound and scent with sight. Unsurprisingly, he is known to forgive but never forget. Shinonome entrusts to him the arm's length distance he swears to; in turn, he reciprocates by lending her his watchful eye and the grip of his fangs. </div> |

The Sou family was wholly military: royal, proud, talented, but belligerent. To date, Seishuun and his two nephews remain the last survivors of his blood. Outspoken and quick to anger, Seishuun is someone who stands to extol the honor of high-born Domans worthy in the domain of martial achievement. Though he and Shinonome share fierce disagreements, the two are joined at the hip and can be observed leisure drinking and remarking on war poetry together.</div> |

Yet, it was Shinonome's own conscious, sober-minded decision to extend a hand to her archenemy in hopes of joining forces, understanding full well that a bite would promise deadly poisoning. Their hands joined, but their fights were no less bloody; even amid Household walls does the serpent continue to lust after Shinonome's life. A decade's worth of strife nonetheless bred a shared sense of understanding, so much that the two will readily benefit each other by devouring mutual enemies within the flames of their own conflicts.</div> |

Details
General Information In Doma's days as a vassal state, Shinonome was known only by what she went by - a courtesy name. Her late master, who perished during the Doman Razing, was a military minister and formidable thinker, albeit a known milksop. It is said that his ingenious methods live on in his loyal general even after he was survived by her, perpetually haunting his adversaries. She is the current head of the Black Tortoise Household, a syndicate of partisans comprising her master's surviving swordsmen and shinobi. High-powered, she knows no other life after having served the liberation efforts of her splintered homeland for all her years, playing an active role in the capital's restoration. She is watchful of the repatriation of refugees; of reconciling the land with its life; and of the throne's reigning uncertainties. The end of the war has not once seen her drive forward slow to inertia. Despite her dignified exterior, Shinonome is prone to throwing herself into situations that are uncool or largely beneath her dignity -- falling down entire flights of stairs when inattentive or drinking herself into an emotive stupor.
