| - is a Rōnin from the stomping grounds of Iron Country. Raised in the land's main headquarters as one of its few female samurai, she gained a reputation for peerless skill with the sword, prone to displays of quick and precise attacks that often hid exceptional power. With time she would come to be seen as one of their strongest, easily capable of matching Mifune's bodyguards in combat and occasionally crossing swords with the grizzled veteran himself. Earning praise from the three of them. She was considered by many to be on a short list for the title of general, given the current regent's likelihood of retiring. Obviously, some traditionalists balked at the notion, While several of her male counterparts wanted to take the young woman into their chambers. Regardless of her own ambitions or goals; they saw her potential for breeding strong samurai. Nevertheless, such behavior came to a head when a few of them attempted to jump up one night, abandoning their honor code in pursuit of carnal pleasure. It was only expected that they would fail. Being the shrewd individual she was, Yūko recognized that her ascension had ruffled a few feathers, thus she regularly carried her weapon alongside her. Nevertheless, if she didn't expect them to stoop so low. The first few slashes rang out in the courtyard as the three samurai screamed. Something about the noise sent a thrill through her, so she continued, dealing several smooth and swift strikes that only multiplied the pain of her adversaries, while causing a smile of masochism to warm her face. She didn't stop until they were dead, hacked into pieces beyond recognition. Given her lack of discretion, the scene had drawn attention; Yūko wasn't a ninja after all. Though if there was one thing she understood, it was her time in in the Iron was at an ebb. She had broken code, even if justified never mind the sick satisfaction she derived from committing a cardinal sin. That night she left Three Wolves, disappearing into a blizzard as the remains of her assailants froze over. With no allies beyond the Iron borders (or within them), Yu contented herself with wandering, headed southeast. She would her consistently battling the cold as she hastened her pace, looking to escape the bitter weather that matched her temperament. Becoming a sell-sword in order to bring in a steady income. It would be on such a mission that she encountered a set of missing-nin. Having been sent to capture the former, an S-rank missing-nin, she was surprised that another kept her company. Unprepared for this, she was defeated. Though not before earning the respect of the two. The latter declaring because Yūko had lost and been spared that she was to accompany them. With Kurumi's authoritative and independent mindset proving to be a draw to the similarly aged rōnin. As Kuru ascended to the rank of daimyō, Natsuki would elect to join her, serving as one of her elite bodyguards and regaining purpose, staving off the samurai's hidden malice.
