Chizuru Yukimura

Chizuru is the daughter of a respected doctor from Edo. Shortly before the beginning of the story, her father leaves home and travels to Kyoto, regularly sending her letters. However, one day, the letters stop, and Chizuru decides to embark on a journey to find her father. Upon her arrival in Kyoto, she is harassed by rogue samurai who take an interest in her sword, and, as she runs away, she encounters mysterious creatures, only to be saved by the Shinsengumi.
