##### MEET ARAKURE

Born in the shadows, raised in chaos. Arakure never bowed to the Samurai, and never will. When an Orochi guard took her brother’s life, she took something back: his blade. Not as a trophy, but as a warning. Now she fights her own way: Loud. Reckless. Unstoppable.
She doesn’t duel with honor, she wins by any means. Poke your eyes, step on your toes... anything goes.
