Hi there, I'm very curious to see where this goes! I've not played Conquest before, though I am familiar with a number of the NPCs featured in Conquest. I tried my best to do a bit of research, but if anything doesn't look right, please let me know~

Name: Fuyuse
Age: 16
Appearance: At first glance, most wouldn’t consider Fuyuse any kind of threat—she tends to look more doll-like than anything else. Her 5’6” height doesn’t make her particularly imposing or noteworthy, and she keeps her long, chestnut-colored hair out of her face by confining it to a braided chignon. Neither her amber colored eyes nor her face are very expressive, making it difficult to tell what she’s thinking or feeling at any given time. Her skin tends to stay well tanned, as she’s usually either out training or picking herbs/doing chores for the doctor for most of the day. When not training, Fuyuse is commonly found wearing a simple blue yukata patterned in varying shades of blue vertical lines. The sleeves of her yukata house pockets the young woman uses to hide a number of things, namely herbs and medicines, as well as occasionally her folding tessen, though that’s usually tucked into her obi. Her traveling shoes consist almost entirely of simple zori sandals, occasionally with tabi in colder weather...it's about the only time she cam be seen acknowledging cold weather.
Personality/History: Fuyuse remembers little of her past before waking up heavily injured just outside the border of Viperia when she was 12. She was kept company by a Ninetales and Croagunk that took care of her--and probably saved her life, given that it was the dead of winter--but they could do little to actually treat her injuries or get her back to civilization. Though she could not remember her own name, Fuyuse found that she remembered the names of her Pokemon companions...and that "bad men" wanted her dead. She and her Pokemon caretakers were eventually discovered by a traveling doctor (whom Htomi and Hanzo almost attacked) that took on the task of treating her injuries. For the first two months of their time together, Fuyuse barely spoke a word, often falling back to communicating with vague gestures and writing—she could speak, and often did so with Hitomi and Hanzo, but she did not quite trust the doctor enough to speak with him at first. Though the doctor made an effort to help the girl find her family, no one seemed to recognize Fuyuse, or know of a family missing a child, a Ninetales, and a Croagunk. After nearly four months of looking, the doctor (who had long since started calling the girl Fuyuse when she could not remember her own) asked her if she and her Pokemon would like to travel and help treat people with him. With nowhere else to go, she accepted.

Fuyuse’s memory, sadly, has not improved over time. Most of the memories she lost have stayed gone, and she tries her best not to dwell on this, choosing to make the most of her new memories with the doctor instead. Over the years, she’s picked up basic medical knowledge from her guardian—how to treat common injuries, how to identify and cure several illnesses, what herbs and berries to keep an eye out for when traveling, and more. In all actuality, Fuyuse found herself enjoying their nomadic life, but of course it could not last. While she and the doctor were out buying supplies in a small town in Avia, they were approached and subsequently attacked by a pair of warriors from Yaksha who seemed to recognize Fuyuse and her Pokemon at some level. To this day, she’s not certain what surprises her more—that anyone recognized her after nearly three years of travel, or that she managed to take both men on in a fight and win.

Fearing that more incidents like this would occur if they continued traveling, the doctor decided to settle down in as unassuming a town as he could find. This would have been fine, but then he insisted Fuyuse attempt to hone the combat training that seemed to have been given to her before she lost her memory. In the span of roughly a year, she’s improved at ranged combat and stealth operations drastically...and it seems to have been a good thing after all, as it would turn out the village Fuyuse and the doctor settled in was home to the fabled rainbow goddess, and she was in need of protectors.

In the four years they’ve spent together, the doctor’s outgoing personality hasn’t rubbed off on Fuyuse at all. Those who don’t know her would likely assume her cold, but the truth is that she’s just incredibly slow to trust, and Fuyuse is far less likely to speak to people she does not place some degree of trust in. That said, she’s reliable, and quick to pick up on things, rarely giving up on a task until she’s figured out a way to complete it. Though she doesn’t panic in dangerous situations, Fuyuse tends to be visibly distressed when faced with people who are injured, and will rarely settle down until she’s done everything in her power to help take care of the injury. Though her speech is rare and softspoken, Fuyuse does have a bit of a humorous side, she usually tells people she nicknamed Daisho “because of the swords,” which fits...but also, she’s amused by the idea that the name references his massive ego but small physical stature.
Skills:
Healing Knowledge - Having spent the past four years living with a doctor, Fuyuse was originally convinced she knew more about herbs and treating injuries than she did fighting. Turns out this wasn’t the case, but she can still treat most minor to medium range injuries, and knows simple remedies for a few common illnesses.
Tessenjutsu - Before Fuyuse learned to wield a kurisarigama, she was gifted a folding tessen (an iron-framed fan) and instructed in the basics of how to use one for self defense. She’s far better at ranged fighting, but she’s decent with the tessen in a pinch.
Kurisarigamajutsu - In the past year, Fuyuse’s spent quite some time learning to wield a kurisarigama, and it turns out she’s rather good at it. She’s fairly certain she received training with the weapon before her memory loss, given how quickly she picked it up, but she has no way to prove this. She tends to use the weapon in conjunction with her Pokemon partners, either herding her target towards her Pokemon partners, or allowing her partners to herd her targets towards her.
Pokemon:
Houndoom - Female - Hitomi
The oldest of Fuyuse’s companions, Hitomi is the closest thing to a motherly presence the young woman remembers having. She’s fiercely protective of Fuyuse and stays as close to the girl as she can, even in times of peace—it’s not uncommon to find her wrapped around Fuyuse’s legs, or laying on top of the girl’s feet. She trusts Hanzo implicitly, and knows the Croagunk so well that the two often do not appear to need to communicate in battle, but snaps and growls at Daisho frequently when his antics begin to annoy her. It’s actually not unheard of for the Houndoom to actually spit fire at the Sneasel, though she would never harm him...much.
Croagunk - Male - Hanzo
Much like Hitomi, Hanzo’s presence around Fuyuse feels familial, though he’s more of a big brother than a father. While Hitomi tends to stick closely to Fuyuse’s side, Hanzo has always been a few steps ahead or behind, doing his best to keep threats from ever approaching the girl. Though Daisho has a tendency to irritate Hanzo, the Croagunk has been attempting to teach the Sneasel to work in a similar fashion to himself so that Daisho can keep an eye on things in front of Fuyuse, while he can focus on watching the girl’s back.
Sneasel - Male - Daisho
Just as loyal as he is vain and prideful, Daisho’s the odd member out in Fuyuse’s team...and she didn’t choose him, he chose her. He attached himself to Fuyuse after she and her doctor found him injured during their travels and took care of him, however he refused to leave when they tried to set him free. He’s been the bane of Hitomi and Hanzo’s existence ever since, Daisho’s antics and habit of seeking attention from Fuyuse drive them bonkers, but at the very least, they know he’d do anything in his power to protect the girl.
