Name: Suzuki Kohaku
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Weapon: One katana, and its sheath.
Appearance: Long black hair and intense, coal-gray eyes. He is tall and lean, very strong but also flexible, as is required by the weapon with which he fights. His skin is darkly tanned by months of travel alongside Chinatsu-dono, and his entire body is covered in vicious scars. One scar is particularly gruesome, and he keeps his right hand bandaged at all times, to hide it from the eyes of his lady. He tells its story only to those he trusts most, and he never lets anyone see it.
Personality: Kohaku-san is the epitome of the samurai. He follows not the word of Bushido, but the heart and soul of it. He will never hurt an innocent, but he will cut his enemies down mercilessly, and will pursue honor until the end. He is not afraid to commit seppuku, in any situation where his lady might demand it. He is incredibly loyal and protective of all those around him, especially his daughter. He is highly intelligent, clever and wise, always ready to come up with a plan. But he is not afraid to resort to simply cutting straight through the center to get to his goal. He rarely loses his temper, and when he does, it is usually the sort of situation which can not be forgiven.
Likes: Beauty, sword-craft, sword-play, dueling, honor, serving his mistress.
Dislikes: Dishonor, meaningless violence, his enemies.
Fears: Dishonor, his daughter's death, fire.
History: He has served Chinatsu-dono all his life. When her husband and children were murdered, he escaped with her, and now scours the land for ronin to serve in their cause. His loyalty has been proven a thousand times over, once in a battle against a madman who burned down the building they were in. This is the source of the scar which he will show no one.
