Backstory:

   
 Born to noble parents in October of 1532 Himari enjoyed many perks due to her status. At a young age she was trained in the art of tea ceremony and studied under the best teachers her parents could afford. Himawari was given everything she could ever want and more, but felt a bit empty. Her parents were atheists, and would often fight behind closed doors. Due to their strained relationship they often tried to use Himawari against the other. She never ended up feeling particularly loved by either and believed her parents thought of her more as tool than a daughter. In her teenage years she began to act out, to attempt to distinguish herself from her parents and feel in control of her own actions. She was in love with a young Samurai her parents had employed, and it wasn't long until she became pregnant. Her parents were furious, and demanded that when she had the baby to leave it out to die in the cold. During her pregnancy she was locked away and hidden to avoid scandal. It was during this time she began religious contemplation in a desperate attempt to understand what her place was in the world. A few months before she was due she had sent notes to the Samurai, he was still in employment with her family due to her lies about who got her pregnant. He figured out a way to help her escape before she had the baby, not wanting her to be forced to get rid of it. When they had to part they acknowledged that they wouldn't be able to make their relationship work, but parted on good terms. The Samurai had given her a sum of money that he had saved before she left. When she left she had never felt more free.
    Eventually she had the baby, at an inn in Kanto she worked at for shelter and food. The baby was a boy who resembled her heavily. She continued to work at the inn for the next decade, raising her son in relative peace despite it being a difficult life. One day however her life of peace would be forever changed. The Daimyo of Anshu and Kazusa stayed at the inn between travelling and when he caught sight of Himawari he was infatuated. Recently, he had lost his wife from child birth, the baby had also been quite weak after the birth. Eventually during his stay he requested to speak with Himawari specifically. He was amazed to find out she was a woman of class and intelligence, and it wasn't long until he made her his bride. Himawari and her son lived now with the Daimyo, who with time Himawari fell in deep love with, and cared greatly for his daughter as he cared greatly for her son. Everything seemed to be going beautifully, until the Daimyo passed, it was a slow and painful deterioration, but long enough for him to name Himawari Daimyo of his land. He trusted her more than anyone, especially in terms of judgement. After his death Himawari took up his mantle, though greatly depressed. It was at this point that she turned to the occult for answers. All she wanted was to be able to speak with her husband once more, and have her children speak to him as well. After becoming deeply invested in the occult and anything she considered magical or spiritual she found purpose. To study and spread what she found to be the truths of magic. In finding this purpose the burden of command no longer seemed a burden to her and she believed it to be ordained that she rule. She is proud of her position and believes the gods willed this to happen, though this doesn't stop her from wishing it on different circumstances.
    It was later rumored that she had made a pact with a fox spirit, and that it was the reason that she seemed to know so much and remain beautiful as she aged.

Personality: 
Serene|Devout|Motherly|Cunning|Secretive|Melancholy|Superstitious|Vengeful|Narrow-Minded|

Himawari is a naturally calm and peaceful soul in her old age. With age she has found the things that calm her and are cathartic to her, this has helped her maintain a serene atmosphere. She is extremely devout and determined to spread what she finds to be spiritual truth. To her this is one of the most important things and an ordained duty that she is herald of. Himawari tends to mother those close to her as this is what most of her life has consisted of. She rarely notices that she is doing so and many come to her for advice on things because of this. Himawari has a sharp mind, and is quite good at seeing through people and plotting things. She attributes this to her love of playing strategy games and is humble when asked about it. Due to the recent death of her husband she comes off as extremely melancholy. She isn't ashamed of tears or sadness though and doesn't particularly hide it. She claims the grief has made her stronger. As someone very spiritual and traditional Himawari follows closely superstitions, even some of her own invention. This can be annoying to those around her who don't believe as strongly. She believes there is power in secrets and Knowledge and isn't one to give out information willingly unless she deems it necessary. When Himawari has perceived a wrong done to her or her provinces she is not reserved in seeking revenge, and can be quite harsh in serving what she considers justice. Himawari is open-minded in terms of the spiritual and the occult but when it comes to her values and expectations for her children and her vassals she is quite narrow-minded and expects them to hold them same values and morals. When they deviate from that she isn't shy about showing her disapproval.
