Midoriha Sakuya

Sakuya was once a perfumer’s daughter, fascinated not by the sweet perfumes that others loved but by the heavy, musky scents that unsettled people. Her sweat and touch carried strange power—too strong for most, yet brimming with hidden potential. Because of this, she was shunned, seen as unclean and cursed. It was Enmei, the Queen of Sole, who saw her true worth. Enmei welcomed Sakuya into her palace, the lime-green and gold halls where odor itself was revered as strength. There, Sakuya was reborn as a maid of the Queen—not a servant of shame, but of honor. Dressed in her refined maid outfit, Sakuya carried her white feather duster like a weapon. She used it not just for cleaning, but for combat, sweeping clouds of energy and stifling fumes at foes. Her strange musk could heal allies or weaken enemies, making her a unique defender of the Sole Palace. Calm, elegant, and unwaveringly loyal, Sakuya quickly proved her worth. When mercenaries attempted to breach the palace, she fought alone, her presence overwhelming them until they fled. From that day on, none doubted her role as Enmei’s maid and protector. Yet, beneath her stern demeanor, Sakuya was kind. She comforted children, told them stories, and reminded them of the Queen’s teachings: that true strength comes not from hiding one’s nature, but embracing it. Now, Sakuya lives with pride in service to Queen Enmei, her feather duster ready at hand. Every sweep is a gesture of loyalty, every act of discipline a reminder of her vow. Once cast out, she now stands as Enmei’s maid of honor, devoted and unbreakable.
