Sumie Kanomata

Once the daughter of an Aizu domain samurai and promised in marriage to Shizuma, she vanished while tending to wounded soldiers during the Boshin War. Surviving the upheaval, she rebuilt her life under the alias 'Hinazuru,' carrying a profound hatred toward the Meiji new government born from her harrowing experiences—going so far as to plot the assassination of Okubo Toshimichi as an act of vengeance. She is both the beloved whom Shizuma spent years desperately searching for, and a pivotal figure consumed by a relentless drive for revenge amid a turbulent era.
