Kinu

Kinu (, Kinu, litt. Silk) was the daughter of a local shogun lord around five hundred years ago as well as the mother of Saki Yonaka. Due to the hardships both her and her daughter experienced from the fellow inhabitants of the shogun's subordinates, family, etc. they fled to the northern part of Kyushu, despite the shogun officially shunning his daughter and grand-daughter, finding a small secluded village they could call home.

Appearance
From what little information is known about Kinu appearance it has been stated several times that she was a beautiful, young woman. She dressed in fine kimonos, often with many layers while she still lived in her father's mansion, and continued dressing elegantly after being shunned despite their much poorer living conditions.
