<p>Hoshimaya Shinju is the daughter of a first generation immigrant couple, one from China, and one from Japan. They grew up just another of the poor families trying to make do in Chinatown, Shinju learning to deal with life on the streets from a young age. Even with this urban roughness, though, she always kept an immense wonder for the stories her mother told her of her homelands and traditions, instilling upon Shinju a respect and longing for the olden days in the land of the rising sun. As she grew, this blossomed into a study of Asian religions, particuarly Shinto, as well as the skills of the shinobi of the ancient dynasties. With sheer determination, she honed her skills between menial jobs at the fish market, she became a master of her own right... but that was only the beginning.</p> | <p>Hoshimaya Shinju is the daughter of a first generation immigrant couple, one from China, and one from Japan.

<p>It was a night like any other when the animate "tattoo" known as Ryu found her, slithering onto her body in all his colorful, gold-scaled glory. He opened her eyes to a brand new world, one familiar, yet one she could only dream of before... flowing chi, natural magic, and the spirits beyond. She could feel all of it, and after the initial shock passed, she was thrust forth into a new quest in life. Protected from the eyes of the public, law, and those even worse by the blessing of the dragon, she became a ronin vigilante, living in the moment, always moving. Until, that is, the Kami saw fit to bless her with the central shrine of Chinatown... the only bastion of natural land within it where the spirits and people can have some semblance of how things used to be. But fixing it up, protecting it, and by extension Chinatown as a whole is but another endless quest .</p> | <p>It was a night like any other when the animate "tattoo" known as Ryu found her, slithering onto her body in all his colorful, gold-scaled glory.
