Character
BackStory: In feudal Japan, during the Sengoku period, there was a small village named Shiroi, surrounded by dense forests and towering mountains. For generations, the villagers had lived under a terrible curse. Every year, on the night of the first snow, an eight-year-old girl who was not a twin was selected to be the sacrifice to disperse the curse. The ritual was performed in the heart of the village, at the foot of an ancient, twisted tree that was said to be the source of the curse. The villagers believed that if they did not perform the sacrifice, the curse would only grow stronger, and their crops would fail, their livestock would die, and disease would spread throughout the land. The villagers were devout in their belief, and every year, without fail, they selected an eight-year-old girl to be the sacrifice. The girl was taken from her family, dressed in ceremonial robes, and led to the tree. The villagers gathered around, chanting ancient prayers, as the girl was tied to the trunk of the tree. The girl would scream and struggle, but the villagers would not let her go. They believed that the sacrifice had to be complete for the curse to be lifted. When the girl finally stopped struggling, the villagers would release her from the tree, and she would lie there, still and silent. Years passed, and the curse never lifted. The villagers grew more desperate, but still, they performed the ritual every year, hoping against hope that it would finally work. But the curse only…
