~Dierdre~
I am the stalking shadow. I am the nightmare wind. Fear nothing, or perish.
-----
There are very few things I would consider notable about myself, whether it is appearance or skill, I am far from extraordinary. And yet, if my father has taught me anything within my short eighteen years, it would be that appearance, skill, all that is physical, tangible, real, is simply an illusion.
Illusions I know much of. From my green years as a sapling amongst the oaks of my father's pupils, I grew quickly, learned hungrily the art of Iaido, the way of the sword, much like fire consumes a dry tinder valley. Yet another part of me grew along with my blossoming soul. Nara, my dear childhood friend, the darkest illusion I have ever known, yet as close to me as my own life's blood.
She is the reason my has father disowned me, sent me so far from my homeland to fight for the restoration of my honor. But still, in my shadow, she follows, mimics every breath I take. Her whispers are a part of me I have not yet learned to control, a source of power I will not... cannot forget.
I suppose this is my reason. This is the hand that directs my sword and the tides that sweep me towards my journey to find honor, to harness the power my dreams promise me I am capable of.
Nara. My friend, my love, you are mine.
Become me.

Statistics:
Name: Dierdre Kai Myamoto
Age: 18
Sexuality: Bisexual
Homeland: Kyoto, Japan
Residency: A wanderer. On her quest she finds shelter wherever she may find it. For the most part, she finds herself sleeping in covered bus stops or in the homes of kind strangers. Luckily, her situation does not bother her often. She is very persuasive and painfully polite when she wants something, and is also a champion thief.
Ethnicity: Japanese, long dark hair and eyes. Strikingly beautiful yet still unremarkable in appearance.
Height: 5'1"
Weapons: A pair of twin ninjato she keeps in sheathes strapped to her back, along with a myriad of concealed weapons: shiruken (throwing stars) and a small silver knife given to her by her mother bearing the seal of her mother's clan.
Attire: Usually dark clothing and a headband which bares the seal of her father's name, the Myamoto clan. Often she wears a long black jacket with holes cut in the lining to hold her knives and shiruken.
History:
Daughter of Hiroshi Myamoto, master of the Jujitsu discipline of Iaido (Japanese swordsmanship) and well honored Sensei in Kyoto, Japan.
With an unquenchable thirst for perfection and her father's approval, Dierdre trained diligently under her father to a nearly compulsive degree, learning quickly and hungrily. At the age of thirteen, Dierdre became the most gifted young sword wielder in all of Japan.
But there is a part of Dierdre her father had always feared, something dark and brooding that looms over the child like a coming storm.
Nara began as a harmless imaginary friend, for Dierdre had always been wildly imaginative yet gravely quiet and unsociable. But by the age of ten, Nara had remained a large part of Dierdre's consciousness. Still, she would hold entire conversations with her 'friend', that she swears whole-heartedly, is real.
At age thirteen Dierdre was diagnosed as Schizophrenic, but resisted treatment in an uncharacteristically violent way, trying desperately to convince her father that Nara indeed lives.
As violent outbursts progressed and Dierdre's usually placid exterior became unpredictable and filled with burning yet silent rage, her father banished her to pursue a quest for balance and control and to restore her father's honor before she lost herself to this madness completely.
Dierdre, however, has different plans in mind.
