Shadow Hunter

Himura Kokage "Pretty Guardian Shadow Hunter"

I fight shadows. It is pretty simple, really. I was born, I grew up training with a bow and short-sword, and I made the most of my short first life as a hunter. But I died at some point, and I was brought back as impartially human. Now I fight the shadows, I operate in the darkness beneath our world and hold the forces of evil at bay. You can defeat the Daughter of the Moon you say? Oh please, I am on good terms with her. Did you know she likes Dreadleaf Tea? There are dark forces she holds off as well, I work with her and her Dreadnoughts to hold the forces of evil away. Every time you fight the Daughter of the Moon, it is not her you are actually fighting. If it were really her or her Dreadnoughts, you would need, within this Power Rank system you fools use, around fifteen million points. Oh well, you have fun, I was born to be an unsung hero, so that I will continue to do.

There is nothing more to say about me. You will never see me, nor will you ever defeat me if you could see me. Wherever I am is not a place you can even be. I stand for this land so you can have a chance to be a champion of your own making. Have fun in the light, my friends.

In hindsight, perhaps some third-person history from my timeline would be better to include here.

Himura Kokage is a fighter within the darkness, against the darkness. She is not a player, but an ancient being. Her name means Dark Red Shadow Child, which is in complete contrast to her blues due to her rebirth. Her name, Himura Kokage, means Dark Red or Scarlet, which is what Himura translates to, and Shadow Child, which is what Kokage translates to. Put them together and they do not combine, but they are two statements, Dark Red, Shadow Child.

Dark Red or Scarlet, she was born into a family of hunters who were hired mercenaries. They all had blood on their hands, the Himura clan. Kokage was born a child of shadows, unknown to her own clan and raised to be a hunter like them but apart from the clan. In a battle as a lone huntress in her first incarnation, she was mortally wounded fighting the darkness she does now. She was reborn afterwards and reclaimed her name and purpose and rose to power to match the Daughter of the Moon and restored order and balance across the world of Trove. Together, Himura Kokage and the Daughter of the Moon along with her Dreadnoughts, they fight the forces of the ever-returning darkness and keep the world of Trove in the light.

A/N: On an unrelated note, this is Mayan talking, not Kokage, if Kokage were to be in an anime, the one to voice her would likely be Chiaki "Kiyu" Morita, her low voice to be specific, since Kokage is not a young person despite her short stature. Kokage has been alive for a long time, enough that age-wise she and the Daughter of the Moon could be considered equally wise in age.
