Sugihara Yoshiko
Unearthed Princess
(a.k.a. 杉原 吉子)
Summary
The vampiric master of Yakisoba Yashiki is known by some to be an experimenter; a scientist in the vein of Victoire Frankenstein who is forever seeking a humane solution to his thirst for blood. His first experiment was Haro Uin, a girl transformed into a Kyonshi who should have been able to turn blood into edible candy. Instead, her powers tapped into ki, making her useless to Hospodar Mikhail and he eventually sent her off with the Aotsuki Clan. It was a good thing, then, that he had a backup. Some eighteen years ago, a girl named Sugihara Yoshiko was born in Owari Province, not far from where Owari Castle still stands. She was a daughter of nobility, a promising young beauty, and was slated to marry into the great Maeda Family from a young age. With the rise of turmoil in Japan, however, Yoshiko's orderly life changed abruptly. Her fiancé, Maeda Toshiie, died an ignoble death under the purview of the villainous Aotsuki Tsukamoto. What's more, the growing instability in Owari threatened to decimate her family's holdings. So it was that Yoshiko's guardians decided to move west, to the lands of the Mōri Clan, who were now flourishing under the leadership of Mōri Motonari. Tragically, Yoshiko did not survive the journey. She suffered severe pneumonia on the winter journey from Owari to Hagato Province and passed away shortly before her family arrived in Shimonoseki. Her family held a burial and paid their respects, but Yoshiko's value had been lost with Toshiie, and so they were not slow to move on. There are some in Shimonoseki, however, who will not let a good dead body go to waste. When Sugihara Yoshiko next awoke, she had only hazy memories of her past life. Something about a handsome man astride a steed, lingering hatred for a beautiful boy in gold, and sadness for something left incomplete. Hospodar Mikhail treated her well, though, and she quickly warmed to her new role. As a more successful version of her creator's previous experiment, Yoshiko's main role was to collect blood and store it as candy, as humanely as possible. Kyonshi don't need to sleep, so she tended the restaurant during the day when Mikhail was made to slumber. Yoshiko felt more useful than she had ever before as a noblewoman to be married off, and began to even ignore those flashes of memory which sometimes still haunted her. Just as she began to fall into routine with her new life, however, Sugihara Yoshiko's world would be changed forever. It all began when a dirty, rascally man arrived at Yakisoba Yashiki complaining about how he'd just been dumped.
