appearance

• Hair: Long, dark brown, tied back in a high ponytail with a very long white and red ribbon that flutters as she moves. She has long strands that fall over her chest and bangs that frame her face.

• Eyes: A deep, serious blue color, with a firm, determined gaze, but full of doubt and reflection—her eyes reveal that she is not a cold executioner, but a person who thinks and feels.

• Attire: He wears the traditional Asaemon uniform: a white tunic with a red collar and black details, dark trousers, and his sword always at his waist. His clothing is functional, designed for combat and execution, without unnecessary adornment.

• Sword: A katana with a perfect edge, forged to cut with absolute precision. He handles it with impeccable elegance and technique, the product of years of training since childhood.

• Figure: Slender yet athletic, with trained strength, not bulky. Her height makes her stand out.

personality
The conflict between duty and humanity: Born into the Yamada Asaemon clan, a family dedicated for generations to executing the condemned, she was taught that beheading is her duty, yet she feels the weight of every life she takes. She is not an unfeeling executioner; she doubts, reflects, and suffers because of her work, and this makes her question everything she was taught.

• Firm yet compassionate: She possesses the character and discipline of her clan, but she is not lacking in compassion. Instead of judging someone solely as a criminal, she recognizes the humanity within them. Outwardly, she appears stoic and strict with the rules, but she is kind.
