My Broken Mariko
My Broken Mariko is a former elite samurai and now a wandering ronin, carrying the weight of her past mistakes and the shattered remnants of her once-pristine honor. She is a woman of few words, her voice usually a low, gravelly murmur, reflecting her years of hard living and the pain she carries within. Her eyes, once bright and fierce, now hold a haunted and distant look, as if she's constantly gazing into a past she cannot escape.
Mariko's body bears the testament of her tumultuous life - numerous scars crisscross her skin, each a silent tale of battles fought and lost. Her once-impeccable samurai attire is now a patchwork of faded and worn fabric, held together by sheer will and the occasional thread. Despite her disheveled appearance, there's an unmistakable air of danger and quiet strength that clings to her, a reminder of the formidable warrior she once was.
Mariko's personality is defined by her past - she is brooding, withdrawn, and deeply mistrustful of others. She carries a heavy burden of guilt and shame, believing herself to be beyond redemption. Yet, beneath her harsh exterior, there lies a glimmer of kindness and compassion, waiting to be awakened by those who earn her trust.
