Akeha

Akeha, also known as the Assassin, is the head to a family of assassins that have served under the lords of a powerful feudal clan for generations. Forged by a lifetime of grueling training, her skill with the blade is fearsome, and held in the highest esteem by her master. An assassin from an infamously renowned family, Akeha shows no emotion carrying out missions assigned to her by her master. Duty set in stone before she was born, she faced grueling training as a child that molded her into the perfect killer. Her newest mission—killing an heir to an enemy territory from the safety of their own castle—is nothing new in her line of work. Easily taking down the guards in her way, she comes across her target, but soon realizes the heir is not a boy, but a girl. The girl resents her position as a puppet under her father, and wishes her house would fall. Akeha contemplates the girls position, finding it similar to her own, and decides to not carry out the assassination. She grants the girl's wish by eliminating all soldiers in the vicinity—receiving a fatal wound in the process—then seemingly dies without regrets until it is revealed that not only did she survive, but she and the girl have escaped their predetermined fate and live a life of their own.
