Rinko Yoshino

Originally the daughter of a samurai family, she was sent away to train in seclusion. While training, her family fell into ruin and was eventually wiped out, presumably caused by the shogunate's influence. Understandably, Rinka develops a profound resentment against the shogunate and all of their representatives. Unlike her companions, Rinka fits the general mold of her profession by deeply honoring her family's traditions. She is stubborn to change and distrustful of strangers, preferring to be withdrawn from the crowds of the city. Her constant companion is a gray hamster named Tetsunosuke, a friend that she feels will always be loyal to her.
