Aihime

History
'''Aihime Mizuki was born into the nobility of Oka no Kuni to Lord and Lady Mizuki. She grew up pampered and sheltered for much of her life, not only because of her noble blood, but because of the frailty of her body, having spent her childhood dibilitated by illnesses. Luckily for her, the island had the best doctors to offer and she would recover each time, but this didn't end her parents' fears. Due to her lack of communication with other people, Aihime grew from a quiet child to a timid young woman.'''

'''The young Lady Aihime remained the only child of the Mizuki family and as a daughter is expected to marry well. But, much to her parents' chagrin, Aihime shirks at any opportunities to meet possible suitors, remaining almost completely absent from court life. Instead, Aihime uses her time to write poetry and practice music. A gifted poet and musician, Aihime prefers composing waka and playing the koto to festivities and cherry blossom viewings. She typically sneaks out at night to practice playing the koto beneath the village's large cherry tree that is considered a holy place.'''

'''Aihime has another reason for avoiding the Court. A series of tormentors await each time she does attend, taking advantage of the poor girl. Each time ends in tears and a few months absence from the Court. What sparks this jealousy typically is her natural beauty and her gifts of intelligence and the arts. Many of the young women view her as their biggest rival for potential suitors. Despite the torments, she understands that it is her duty to attend Court as well as find a husband.'''
