PERSONAL INFORMATION
Bio: Daughter to a prostitute and an infamous criminal, Amaterasu has lived her life mocked by people. Her mother was a beautiful woman who was asked for her hand every day. Many men with high positions asked for her, begged for her, and kidnapped her. Her mother was once kidnapped by a man in the government, shortly after rejecting his request. Surprisingly someone managed to rescue the damsel in distress. A simple young man with bounties higher than what Japan could afford. Her mother was quickly smitten by the man, however, he wished to have no connection with her. Thus started the chase after love. The stupid woman chased after the most infamous criminal, always catching up to him during police chases, or finding him hiding inside the brothel. Eventually, the criminal gave in and the two conceived Amaterasu. Their child was a beautiful baby, almost beautiful as a Goddess.
Amaterasu was kept hidden in a small house nearby the mountains. This was where her father kept refuge from the government. She was kept away from the towns and certainly hidden from everybody. As she grew older she was a beautiful young girl. Whenever her mother returned from the town, Amaterasu would be ravished in beautiful dresses and sweets. Her father would be gone during these times. These days were often peaceful and quiet. Nevertheless, there is always havoc. One morning the small house nearby the mountain was raided by two random men. At this moment, Amaterasu and her father were inside. The two men quickly recognized her father and began to attack. Amaterasu was told to run, run, far away. She reluctantly obliged and ran off into the distant. All she remembered was the sight of tree's. Her small body ran into the town. The unfamiliar town brought her to tears. Luckily, her mother caught her right in time. Once Amaterasu told her mother what happened -- without a thought her mother ran into the woods with Amaterasu clinging onto her back. Reaching the small house inside were two men slain. Unfazed by the sight her mother ran to her wounded husband. There Amaterasu watched the blood flow out of the bodies of two brutally beaten men. The blood seeped into her beautiful kimono, tarnishing the fabric. Her father looked at her with pain in his eyes; at that moment she knew, what type of people her parents were.
Three years after the incident her father took her into the forest to present her a weapon. He gave her a short spiel about the dangers of the world and how she was to survive. Amaterasu was hesitant to learn how to fight, but, she accepted nevertheless. At the age of seven she began her training -- it started with basic martial arts, strengthening her reflexes, wielding a blade, dodging a blade, and removing the guilt after killing a human. At the age of ten she was able to defend herself.
After being able to defend herself, her mother taught her how to become a geisha. Her father was quick to retort to such an idea, but, her mother ignored him. Her mother took Amaterasu into the brothel establishment. The smell of flowers masked the scent of lust. Her training lasted six difficult years. She was taught how to dress properly, serve tea, dance, how to entertain, and much more. Eventually, she grew up to become an excellent geisha. She spent four years more inside the brothel. Later she returned back to the house; an empty house. All was gone but a letter and a kyogetsu-shoge. The contents of the latter left her and her mother money hidden in the house. With the money, the two lived in the town nearby the brothel.
The days were usual, the two worked and worked. They spent their time in the brothel and the girls inside. Sadly, these days came to an end. The civil war has started creating a ruckus in their peaceful world. Amaterasu and her mother alongside with the brothel girls and owner into a safe place. Till the war came to an end the soldiers who worked for the government entered the town removing people one by one from the town. Eventually, Amaterasu became one of those people -- she was removed from the town with a few brothel girls and the owner. Her mother was forced to stay behind. By the time they reached the island it was chaos. She has never felt fear like this before. The island was filled with criminals and killers, there was no sanctuary. The girls and herself were sold to a run down brothel in the island where they were treated poorly; It was hell. She spent her first two years pleasing the scum of the Earth till the brothel owner died. At the age of eighty the brothel owner died, all the girls were confused and unsure what to do. Without a thought, Amaterasu stood up and decided to take control of the brothel. The run down brothel grew immaculately in her years of control. There were days where men would raid the brothel and wreak havoc and destroy the establishment. With that, she trained the girls to protect themselves.
Presently, the run down brothel is now a fine establishment and a sanctuary for girls.
