"Too weird to live, but too rare to die."
'Branded' since birth, Ryukana frolics the warm desert sands all by herself. Despite being the oddest child on the block, she was dearly cherished by her family, especially by her older brother... Sasori. Influenced from the puppeteering and intelligence of her family, Ryukana grows up to a happy and healthy life, twirling strings as she learns to be mature, and to create astounding wooden creatures of her liking.
...But then, something astonishing happens, changing her path, her personality, and the direction of the family. Kenshin takes control of this and tries to lead her on a path that is dark, ominous, and covered with blood. Another being influences this path as well- as she meets a boy who she takes his left eye from- another monster who will change the course of her life.
As the world around her turns dark, she begins to grow detached, lonely and aloof with each step. Her friends begin to turn on her, and the village defects despite her pleads. As Ryukana suffers from emotional damage and determination to get the 'Eternal Beauty' she strives for, her beast pushes her forward, until a mark is left on her record; a mark that will be there until the day she dies.
