Otomo M'rika

Description

"At times, a matronly spokeswoman for the Otomo family. At others, the radiant beauty of her younger days. What a mercurial woman." - Daigotsu Kanpeki

True Identity
M'rika was a bog hag, who had infiltrated the Imperials and later the Otomo family. Her Champion Daigotsu Kanpeki knew her secret.

Sanctified Ones
In the guise of a ronin, she served as a member of Empress Iweko's Sanctified Ones. In 1172 her cover as ronin was compromised as Soshi Yoshihara, the commander of the Sanctified Ones, suspected her true allegiance, but it was not known if M'rika was aware of it.

Becoming an Otomo
After the Destroyer War M'rika ceased to be a Sanctified One and travelled to the colonies in the ruined Ivory Kingdoms, where she was responsible for blessing the land the Second City was built on. She married a prominent Otomo who visited the land and maintained the family's estates there, and she became Otomo M'rika.

The details on the handle of the tanto is beautiful. The blood on it suggests that she inflicted those wounds around her neck and lower arms by herself, though the blood splatters seems to go too high on the blade part. The blood on the handle seems to point to her hand also bleeding?

I love the light source under her, but it doesn't make sense on where the light originates from considering the time the girl is placed/drawn in.

The necklace is well done, the inconsistency in the stones making it all the better. Her outfit has good colors and a nice pattern from the bits I can clearly see.
