Nationality: Kara-tur (Shou)
Occupation: Former Samurai of the Sacred Temple of the Kami/ Currently a Wandering Ronin

History:
Mika was born third of six children of the main branch of the Ogawa clan. She lived her entire life up until its destruction at the Temple of the Kami, her family had served and protected the temple since it was founded centuries ago, some would of the daughters would serve as Miko (Shrine maidens/), others would become shrine priests and some would join the Order of the Silken Veil (the samurai "order" which protected the temple).
Mika when she turned of age joined the Order of the silken veil, and trained in the arts of war, brush painting, tea ceremony, and literature. Mika also studied the Kami she served, often finding vague references to other kami, Darker Kami. She soon began to dig around for any lore she could find, even going so far as to leave the temple to seek the lore she sought. The knowledge she was looking she found just before the War of Silk (when tribes of Kumo (demon spiders) attacked the Region), she returned just as Kumo began to attack the region around the temple.
Peasents flocked to the temple seeking refuge in the holy grounds it and behind the wall of blades and arrow that defended the site. it was then then the people where gifted with a sight that gave them great hope for survival, as the hordes of Kumo advanced from behind a army of samurai arrived with Mika at its head, the thunderous sounds of their horses hooves drowned out the war cries of the samurai. their blades cut down the kumo as they advanced. the bloody battle lasted for three days, on the fourth the Samurai under the command of Ogawa Mika cut down the last of the kumo before turning their attention to the Temple, thus ended the War of Silk.
As the smoke and dust cleared the Peasents and the temple protectors stood in horror as they saw the banners the "rescuing" samurai carried, the Banners of the Dark Kami. Mika had found the Lore she sought, and sold her immortal soul to the Dark Kami for power, she stood on the blood soaked battle field and called out for the temple to surrender, the army behind her ready to attack at the command of their Lady. Fearing for their lives the peasents urged the priesthood and the samurai to surrender. it was then agreed upon but not before some the Samurai, commited seppuku. Mika swore upon the names of the Kami, they would all be allowed to live when they surrendered. Yet it wasn't to happen just as the gates where unbarred Mika lead her army in and slaughtered the people within the temple defiling it with human blood, She then turned on her army adding their blood to the blood of the fallen. Thus happened the Slaughter of the Sacred Temple and the Rise of the Betrayer. But as quickly as she rose she Vanished one eve just before a small team of ninja arrived to put an end to the Butcher of the Sacred Temple, only to find the bedroll empty and all but her armor, and weapons still there yet no sign of Mika, Last of the Ogawa clan. It was said that the Kami Cursed Mika for her betrayal and for defiling their holy ground by cursing her to never find eternal rest in the after life.
