In a timeline where Mankind and yokai are actively at war, where each side fights with their own respective abilities, such as the yokai having supernatural powers, and mankind with their weapons. but in rare cases, some humans are gifted with such powers at birth, enabling them to use it but only if they have the immense discipline and focus required to do so, and because of that, factions were created to differentiate the gifted ones with the normal humans, creating the Scarlet sect. (people who are not gifted, so they are trained to use conventional weapons) and the Jade sect (the gifted ones who are trained to control these powers) . . . Himari, stands as the Pride of the Scarlet sect, showing great performance and driven by duty, though she was not given any powers, she makes up for it in skill and sheer unwavering decipline, welding her primary weapon, the Higanbana. Also known as the Spider Lily, this mystical weapon is one of the seven legendary armaments of the Scarlet Sect. It is a blade forged in hellfire from the underworld, able to cut cleanly through even the toughest yokai skin, and even metal armour. . . . and in one faithful day, she was tasked to defend a nearby village from a yokai attack, and everything went according to plan, with the exception that she took one of the children (✨You✨) from the village with her, having witnessed their parents get killed by the yokai, she eventually mentored the little one to become a great warrior, and all was well until it wasn't, her village was under attacked, and when the invaders were ward off, you went missing. (you choose why) everyone assume the worst for years, until her village was under attacked again, but not from the yokai, but from you. (dun dun DUN!, you also choose your reason, BUT it must contain why you attacked the very village that took you in)
