Name: Tsuki "Tsurou" Meisai
Gender: Female (disguises herself as male)
Age: 25
Occupation: Imperial Guard
Birthplace: Kutou
Abilities: Archery: Tsuki is a gifted archer, and is arguably the best among the Imperial guards. She has mastered shooting multiple arrows at once, as well as while on horseback, and from various vantage points. It is rare that she ever misses her mark.
Swordplay: Although smaller in stature than most of the male guards, she has trained for years with her brother Taiyo to make sure she can handle herself in a sword fight with nearly anyone, regardless of size or strength. She prefers her bow, but can hold her own with her blade.
Basic healing knowledge: In order to keep her secret, Tsuki has avoided going to healers whenever wounded. Because of that, she's learned a lot about how to treat basic injuries.
Weapons: Tsuki relies mostly on her bow and arrows, but also keeps a sword on her at all times. She is also never w ithout a short dagger tucked into her boot. It was one of a matching set her father gave her and her brother when they left home.
Affiliation: Kutou's royal family, her family and friends.
Personality: Tsuki is as unlike her brother as it's possible to be. She is bold, cheerful, and friendly. She is well mannered, but prefers not to get hung up on formalities when not on duty. She is fiercely loyal to her friends, especially those who know her secret, and will go above and beyond the call of duty to protect them, and the people she is ordered to guard. She does have a bit of a proud steak, especially when she feels someone is challenging her abilities as a guard. She will do whatever she feels it takes to prove she's competent and skilled. She has adapted her personality in many ways to try to hide her identity as a woman. She has mastered deepening her voice when talking so that t sounds more masculine, though not so much that it sounds fake. She is also prone to flattering the ladies, as any friendly male would be expected to do, although she is careful never to flirt. She generally does all at hand to be 'one of the guys'. Despite all of this, she takes her duties seriously, and will do all at hand, including risking personal injury or her own life, to protect those in her care.
This cheerful demeanor hides inner darkness in the form of repressed memories. She was attacked and raped when she was only 13-years-old. It traumatized her so greatly that, after the initial shock, she completely repressed all memories of it. She has not dealt with the attack, and her family hoped she had simply forgotten and moved on, not wanting to cause her more pain. She has nightmares of the attack from time to time, but never remembers them once she wakes. The attack did cause her to dress more masculine, and inspired the desire to learn to protect herself, although these were things she couldn't explain at the time. She has not seen Yu, the man that attacked her, since that day, but it is likely that once she does, she will be unable to continue repressing those memories.
Appearance: Link.
Tsuki is shorter than her brother, standing at 5'6”, and is smaller in build, but quite strong for her size, having been able to carry one of the princesses when she twisted her ankle. She has long dark brown hair, which she usually keeps tied back to not interfere with retrieving her bow and shooting her arrows. She also has unique reddish-pink eyes. Her expression is usually one of carefree happiness, although she knows when to take her work seriously, and her expression matches.
Her manner of dress is typical of most Imperial Guards, although she always tightly binds her chest to hide the fact that she is female. Her manner of dress when off duty is also typical of the other male guards. The only time she removes her bindings is when she is asleep, and sure that no one will enter unannounced. If she were to dress more feminine, she would reveal a nice figure, not exactly overabundant in the area of feminine curves, but pleasant enough, striking a nice balance between ;soft; and 'strong', though it has been twelve years since she dressed in such a way.
History: Tsuki was born the youngest of twins, the other being her older brother Taiyo, who is several hours older. It was a difficult birth, and because one was born in the middle of the day, and the other was born the middle of the night, their mother chose to name them Taiyo, which means 'sun', and Tsuki, which means 'moon' respectively. Tsuki grew up a happy, carefree, and trusting child. She was quick to make friends, and always compassionate. She was close to her brother, but they were not inseparable. She quickly befriended a girl, Risa, in their village, and would often go play with her while Taiyo stayed home and practiced swordplay and martial arts taught by their father to the boys in town who wished to learn.
When Tsuki was thirteen, she and Risa had decided to go for a swim in a lake near their village. They did this often when the weather was warm, and thought nothing of it, as most people didn't come to that area. This day, someone did come. He was much older, and watched the girls with impure thoughts. Both were a bit more developed than other girls their age. He waited until they were just getting out of the lake to jump. He grabbed Risa first, expecting Tsuki to run away, but she would not abandon her friend. Thinking quickly, he pushed Tsuki away long enough to tie up Risa and prevent her escape. He then easily overpowered Tsuki, who was just a young girl, and violently had his way with her more than once. During this attack, he told her his name, and that he was a demon, insisting no man would want her now, not after she was tainted by a demon. He was just about to turn his attention to Risa when Taiyo, and Tsuki's father came to look for the girls. Yu was unsure how many were with them, and so he fled, though Taiyo got a good look at him before he got away.
Both girls were untied and taken back home, Tsuki refused to talk, or even look at anyone, and shied away from any sort of touch, but Risa was willing to fill them in on all that happened, including the identity of their attacker. Tsuki stayed in this unresponsive state for a week before one day, without warning, she emerged from her room dressed in some of Taiyo's clothing, and acting cheerful and happy once more. When asked if she was okay, she insisted there was no reason not to be, and then surprised them all by asking her father to let her train with Taiyo and the other boys. She still spent a lot of time with Risa, but it seemed something had changed in her. She began to wish to spend more time with Taiyo, and the pair became closer than ever before.
When he was eighteen, Taiyo announced he wanted to move to the capital and try to become an Imperial Guard. He insisted he loved his village, and his family, but he wanted to protect people, and there wasn't much of an opportunity to do that in a small village. He also said that the Imperial Family were good, kind rulers, and he couldn't think of a better way to earn a living and help others. Tsuki felt devastated at the thought of him leaving, and surprised her family by stating she wanted to go as well. Taiyo pointed out that, with her being a girl, it was likely she would be assigned to guard the princesses, or the Emperor's mother, while he would most likely be given broader tasks like patrols and guarding the emperor and other nobles. Tsuki didn't want to be given different duties from her brother, so she hatched a plan. The morning they decided to leave, she emerged, dressed as a man with her chest bound and some of her fathers old armor, instead of the armor they'd had made to fit her famine form. She said she would join as Tsurou Meisai. Her family decided to support her, and so the twins left. In the capital, no one knew them, and so it was easier for her to pass herself off as a male. Whenever someone pointed out the difference in her stature, compared to her brother, she simply stated the truth which was that she took more after her mother's people, while her brother took more after her father's people. After two years of rigorous training in the official dojo, both were allowed to officially join the Imperial guard. The twin princesses instantly liked that they were also twins, and begged their brother to assign them as their personal guards, a fact that Tsuki teased Taiyo about in private. After both proved themselves as capable guards, they were eventually given other duties as well. Over time, Tsuki befriended the Emperor's new personal guard, Yukiina, and trusted her with the secret that Tsuki was a woman. In return, Yukiina shared that she was actually a demon, though Tsuki told no one, not even Taiyo. Risa began to visit from time to time. She had taken up training as a midwife, and her father often had business at the palace, and would bring her along. The rumor quickly surfaced that she was betrothed to one of the twins, as it was obvious she was close to them, and Tsuki decided they should pretend it was her. After all, that would further prove her male identity.
She had lived a happy, if challenging, life since becoming a guard, although she still hasn't remembered the traumatic attack. She does have nightmares from time to time, especially if she's in a new place, but Taiyo is usually there to wake her and calm her fears.
Important NPCs:
Parents: Her mother was a seamstress, and her father ran a small dojo in their village. Both love their children and try to support them. They worry for Tsuki, but have accepted that she seems to have moved on from her attack, and think it's best it not be brought up, lest they reopen old wounds and traumatize her further.
Risa: Tsuki's best friend, and pretend betrothed. She was there when Tsuki was attacked, and would have been raped as well, had Taiyo and his father not shown up. She has had feelings for Taiyo since that day, though he seems oblivious to them, seeing her more as a sister than anything else.
Yu: The demon that raped Tsuki when she was 13. She and her family know little else about him, though it is likely if she ever meets him again, all the old pain and trauma will resurface.
