Hachisuka Masakatsu

Amazonian Archeress

Samurai Hachisuka Masakatsu (a.k.a. 蜂須賀 正勝)

Summary

An Empowered samurai, skilled with the bow, who holds the distinction of shooting down both Maeda Keiji and his legendary mount in the same battle. Formerly of the Toyotomi Clan, she joined the Hashinara after being defeated and captured by one of their ninja.
Masakatsu is tall and muscular, her solid build a result of much training as well as the demonic influence imbued within her bow. She has a passionate yet reserved temperament, like a banked flame, and will pursue a goal with the utmost conviction, yet without ever raising her voice or acting in anger. She can often be seen at the archery ranges on Wakigami Castle's grounds, and has made friends with some of the other female samurai, though most of the men find her too unapproachable to really strike up any sort of relationship.
When not on duty, Masakatsu enjoys hunting and camping. She'll often spend several days in a row in the forests outside of Wakigami, reappearing again only when she's needed in her capacity as a samurai.
