@Himura Shimada of Clan Hima

The Shimada family plot was first thought of by @Chimera. This is just the branch that Himura runs. He is the Lord of the Hima Clan. @Moogle also has a planning thread on discord.

Born through tradition and family honor the Hima Clan is the family of Lord Himura Shimada. His wife (his Lady), his two concubines, their children and the servants that have came with them to settle down in a new land.

ADOPTIVES;

The lady. The lioness who is in charge of the more domestic affairs of the clan. She is highly respected. Was born at least February Y6.

• The Silk Fan - Himura’s first wife. They have a civil partnership. Married out of an arrangement. Betrothed to one another from when Himura had been a samurai. His master’s third daughter. She is well educated, graceful and obedient. Yet can command a room when needed.

The Concubines. Himura’s second and third wife. They don’t hold the title of officially being his lady that rank and title is held by his first wife. Still these lionesses aren’t treated like trash either. They are respected. (Note! I wouldn’t be against one of his concubines being a tiger.)

• The Shadow Lotus - She is one of his concubines who is more on the darker sides. Manipulative, cunning, highly intelligent, using Himura for his power to get a better life status than the gutter she was born into. She is his second wife but secretly aims to take out the Lady and take her place. - TAKEN BY @Jess

• The Bamboo Stalk - The third wife. A tame lioness. Quiet and gentle. Obedient and more tender than sass. Trade in the healing arts. - TAKEN BY @Shazaki ★

The Children.

The eldest litter;
• The Heir of Hima - Born 3 years ago the boy is the eldest son of Himura & The Lady. He is hardworking, trained well, traditional, and under a lot of pressure by his father. He is a Samurai within the clan.

• The Treasured Gem - Born 3 years ago to Himura & The Lady this is the second child of the first litter. It is also the eldest daughter. She is under a lot of pressure to be the perfect daughter. Obedient being expected of her. She is intelligent, graceful, and sassy. She was raised by her mother to one day become the lady of her own clan when a proper lord was found for her.

The Two Year Olds;
• The wayward soul - Born between Himura and The Shadow Lotus this son is a bit of a wildcard warrior. He follows the clan’s traditions but has a secret. He is in love and it is a forbidden love for he has fallen for the Geisha known as @Cicada. (Played by Moogle.)

He has more children to other concubines that for whatever reason didn’t come with him or maybe they did but as a peasant after losing favor with Him. In any case you can apply for others not listed here. Those roles listed are just main ideas I believe would beneficial and fun. Just know he wouldn’t have children older than 3 years or younger than 6 months.

If you have any other ideas please feel free to DM me.

GENETICS & TRAITS;
Wild, bright unnatural colors are a no go. They can accrue yes but those born with such traits are often kept hidden. More earthy natural colors are seen as more beautiful. The Hima Clan has more gold, palomino and bronze with accents of black. As well as darker beauties mixed within their ranks.

NAGI HIMA
3Y
AMBASSADOR X ERUDITE
SMALL - LIGHT



Assertive, Flexible, Rarely angry, and Self-critical.
Well-mannered, Adaptable, Sympathetic, Diverse, and Approachable.

Nagi is a lioness of quiet charm and profound intellect. Her well-mannered demeanor belies a mind that is as sharp as the claws she wields. She is adaptable, moving both her kind and ruthlessness. Her sympathetic nature has made her a confidant to many, and her diverse experiences have given her a genuine empathy that resonates with people of all walks of life.

Beneath the surface of her calm exterior, Nagi is a whirlwind of curiosity and passion. She is approachable, with a ready smile and a gentle sense of humor that can disarm even the most stoic of individuals.

She is flexible in her approach to problems, understanding that the world does not always conform to the rigid structures that others may impose upon it.

Rarely does anger flicker in her blue eyes, but when it does, it is like the fury of a storm unleashed. However, she is more likely to express her dissatisfaction with a stern look or a firmly worded truth that cuts through deceit and manipulation.

Despite her elegance and knowledge, she remains a calm lioness in most of situations.

1 global
Global smudged/striped blanket?

Personality — Lawful/Neutral evil

There is not much left of the child that was taken, not much left of the man that could have been.

He has been sharpened into the perfect tool for his master to use. The ideal blade for erasing any obstacle that honor can't face. He moves with a gracefulness unusual for man, his gaze despite its coldness cunning and aware always observing always watching.

The mind of the broken is rarely a sane place, a safe place. Yet it is also now a loud or complicated place. There is nothing but obedience left, no will to challenge those around him no hero in his story. He has grown resilient, capable of surviving almost anything and enduring almost any pain. He had to or he would have perished in those caverns. His mind molded into a toll, an aggression and willingness to harm those who have been marked. Or those who have dared to break their law and stand dishonored.

Yet behind it all, there is a sliver of a cub, a boy and a man still remaining despite the torture. One who has only become more aware of the mirror placed before him. Wanting more, longing for what he could have been, for what they have.


The assassin - Cunning and graceful
Broken - Obedient and resilient
Bathed in blood - Aggressive and unforgiving
For honor not with honor - Loyal and traditional
The man in the mirror - Self-critical and self-conscious



History —
A vague memory of a warm embrace and floral scent lingers in the darkness, a faded echo of what he could have been. A fate snuffed out like dying embers by the darkness of the caverns.

All of his earliest memories are filled with pain, darkness, cold, and starvation. Nothing, yet everything needed to break a mind. To reform it into whatever is required. He is trained in combat but his skills like in the silent kill. The unforgivingness of an assassin combined with the grace of a hunter. He left the caverns one day, a new order given a new master to follow. A vaguely familiar voice and scent orders him now. A resemblance ignored yet recognized.

When they leave he follows, ever dutiful ever obedient.

Notes —
- Ranger/Assassin
- His eyes are more sensitive to sunlight than normal making him prefer the night and the shadows.

As talked about in discord both are accepted. @Shazaki ★ @wolfsi

Kozue Hima
The Shadow Lotus
Assassin/Cleric
5Y | chaotic evil

Personality: Secretive, sensual, mistress of lies and seeker of power. Believes the Hima clan capable of great things with a great leader, and views herself as that leader. Feels the lady is too weak to lead them to true glory along side their warrior husband. Will stand in a fight without question, sometimes just for fun. Preaches the will of the gods on a near fanatic level, but it might be an attempt at misdirection if one really examines her motivations.

History: Originally from clan Ren the lowborn cub of an unsavory affair of a great lord to an even more unsavory lioness. Offered to clan Hima as a warrior bride and second wife to sweep away the stain of her existence while simultaneously elevating their status.

She looks good @Jess go ahead.
