“TO THE DEATH..? NO! TO THE PAIN.
I'LL EXPLAIN, AND I'LL USE SMALL WORDS,
SO THAT YOU'LL BE SURE TO UNDERSTAND.
TO THE PAIN MEANS THAT THE FIRST THING
YOU LOSE WILL BE YOUR FEET BELOW THE ANKLES.
THEN YOUR HANDS, AT THE WRIST.
NEXT, YOUR NOSE.
THE NEXT THING YOU LOSE WILL BE YOUR LEFT EYE,
FOLLOWED BY YOUR RIGHT.
YOUR EARS, YOU KEEP, AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY.
SO THAT EVERY SHRIEK OF EVERY CHILD,
AT SEEING YOUR HIDEOUSNESS WILL BE YOURS TO CHERISH.
EVERY BABE THAT WEEPS AT YOUR APPROACH,
EVERY WOMAN THAT CRIES OUT
'DEAR GOD WHAT IS THAT THING?!'
WILL ECHO IN YOUR PERFECT EARS.
THAT IS WHAT TO THE PAIN MEANS.
IT MEANS I LEAVE YOU IN ANGUISH,
WALLOWING IN FREAKISH MISERY FOREVER.”

A P P E A R A N C E· Tomoe has white hair dyed pale pink (amaranth pink or carnation pink), and peach eyes. She is especially beauteous, with a toned hourglass figure. She possesses a tattoo on her forehead which extends to her right cheek.
She wears a long white shitagi with a sleeveless happi over it. She uses a red obi to keep her shitagi closed. She wears waraji (with metal plates cleverly hidden inside them). She wears matching black hard leather suneate and kote.
Underneath her clothing she may wear a sarashi, which is a long strip of cloth wrapped tightly around her chest for breast support. The sarashi also covers her right shoulder. She may also wear a fundoshi, which is usually worn only by men.
Due in part to her missing right arm, Tomoe has difficulty wearing her shitagi correctly. It is often unintentionally splayed open, giving her great her cleavage. The shitagi often slips off of her right shoulder, exposing even
more cleavage.
Tomoe's happi has the symbol of her clan on the back of it. The same symbol is also on the lower part of her shitagi.
Her
beautiful body is covered in absolutely
horrific scars. They are the remnants of a number of wounds that have long since healed. Most of the scars are concentrated on her torso with one on her face through her left eye.
Her right arm is missing completely, there are no remains of a limb. it had been completely from its socket. Her left eye is blinded, recognizable due to its milky-white color. She normally keeps this eye closed so as not to bother others.
She always carries a shinai and bokken/bokutō in addition to her primary weapon. The three are bundled up together with a red uwa-obi over her left hip. Although her left hand is usually seen resting over them, she can use this hand to draw any of them.
Tomoe is deceptively strong for her size and build. This is often reflected in her ability to fight back sword strikes with a single arm. Additionally, her steel-plated waraji can deflect a powerful sword strike. Her own sword strikes can cut through bone and wood, removing limbs in a single strike and even knocking armored individuals off their feet.
While she possesses no known skill in Body Flicker, Tomoe is inhumanly fast. Tremendous leg strength allows her to more than make up for her lack of Body Flicker. This affords her enough raw power in her legs to move fast enough to instantly traverse a sizable distance, and even seemingly disappear from sight.
In battle, she can strike with incredible speed and in rapid succession, making it highly difficult for her opponents to find an opening and counterattack.
D I S P O S I T I O N· Tomoe is known to be extraordinarily violent, though her actions tend to be for the best. There was a time when she lived for battle, and she still enjoys a good fight more than anything. She may even hold back in an effort to make a fight last longer.
She fears neither injury nor death.
Despite her tendency to be brutal, Tomoe may stop a fight if her opponent becomes incapacitated and cannot fight back. She expresses little to no interest in fighting the weak, and as a result, will vary rarely deal a death blow to those she has defeated. She will not hesitate to maim or even kill her opponent if they refuse to admit defeat or show no honor.
She appears to contradict her own fighting logic most of the time. While she wishes to increase her own personal power, she also conceals her strength to prolong most fights, to get as much enjoyment out of it as possible.
Tomoe is a very insightful woman, regularly showing the great understanding that one would expect from a Samurai in battle. She is very adept at finding and exploiting weaknesses in her opponent's techniques. She is adept at adjusting to her opponent's attack patterns and battle methods to better counter them.
She possesses sharp intuition towards incoming danger.
O R I G I N· Kōga Tomoe (こうがともえ, Kōga Tomoe) is a disgraced Rōnin of the Land of Iron. She left the Land of Iron after being defeated in battle, shamed and defiled by her opponent, and left for dead.
