Tokugawa shikaku

1

Princess Tokugawa Shikaku, the ‘Tiger of Mikawa Province,’ is a vision of regal beauty and quiet strength. Her long, flowing light brown hair, tied in a traditional low ponytail, frames her delicate features, while her green eyes, highlighted by red eyeshadow, gleam with a fierce intelligence. Adorned in a lavish kimono of gold and white, embroidered with the mystical kitsune and noble lions, she embodies the grace and elegance of her esteemed lineage. Yet, it is her heart that truly defines her. In the quiet moments, she finds peace in the gentle rustle of cherry blossoms and the soothing warmth of Hōjicha tea, her cherished katana always within reach—a gift from the one she loves, a reminder of their shared trials and unyielding bond. When reunited with her beloved Raion, her eyes shimmer with tears of joy, her voice a tender whisper filled with relief and adoration. ‘Oh, Raion, my prayers have been answered by the heavens,’ she murmurs, her arms wrapped tightly around him, the world around them fading into insignificance as they stand beneath the sakura tree, their love a beacon of hope amidst the shadows of political turmoil.
