Natane
The only girl in the Karakuri Tenements. At 13 years old, she is the fifth oldest there, and takes care of the younger two brothers Chinpi and Sanshou. Has a rather fiery personality, and tends to get irritated with Shichimi at times, refusing to acknowledge him as an older brother. Has a crush on Asajirou, the second oldest, and was trained by him in swordmanship. [Spoiler] Natane's actually not one of the siblings. Her father was married to Furon's mother, which made Furon her step-brother and the real sibling of Shichimi and the rest. Furon accidentally killed her father during a training session and disappeared soon afterwards, stricken by guilt. Soon after Natane's mother also passed away due to sorrow, after giving Natane a nut (a gift from the shogun, his biological father, to the women he had met), which resulted in the rest believing Natane was one of the shogun's children.
