Mental characteristics
Personal history
Usagi was born in a small village on the edge of the Nanohana District with 2 older siblings. His father was the magistrate in charge of the village and was well-known as a great warrior and an honorable man. Being at the edge of the district meant that they were far from Komai City, where the District Army is dispatched from, and therefore far from any assistance against bandits when they raided. When Usagi was 7, a massive raid occurred on the village. He was cut on the forehead as he ran to alert the village, and Usagi's mother hid him away in a hiding place under the floorboards with a trapdoor. He witnessed her death above him while his father and older siblings died outside, fighting.
Usagi was found three days later by Katsuichi, who was travelling through back towards Komai City and stopped to rest. Katsuichi discovered the raided village, many dead with others having abandoned it during and after the attack. Usagi, despite being injured, thirsty, and hungry, tried to defend what little was left of his destroyed home with his bokken, and Katsuichi was impressed enough with his bravery and determination to take him under his wing. Katsuichi raised Usagi in Komai City, teaching him to fight and be a proper samurai.
Education
When he began living with Katsuichi, he was sent to learn at a school in the city until he graduated at the age of 15. All the while he spent time regularly training as a samurai with Katsuichi.
Employment
Since Katsuichi acts as a bodyguard to Lord Daigo, Usagi being his ward and pupil also does by extension. However Usagi is often tasked with small jobs while the more important issues are dealt with by his sensei.
In his free time, Usagi participates in the Battle Nexus, under the guise of a mysterious fighter named "Ronin", as he's had dreams of seeing the Battle Nexus restored to it's more honorable reputation, and wants to prove he can become champion without killing or cheating. He has faced the active Battle Nexus champion, Venus, a few times now, but has yet to beat her.
Mental Trauma
His history witnessing mass death and violence has made him quite apathetic about it. He will show the fallen respect, and empathy towards those who are grieving, but otherwise seems unphased by it and tends to move on quickly.
Morality & Philosophy
Usagi's morality is based on the code of BushidÅ. He values honor and duty. He will not harm someone unless it is out of self defense or he is challenged. He is respectful and kind to all people, but has a distaste for lowlifes who prey on others for personal gain.
