#Fuck Aquarius Anon, fuck you. Really.

#Students:

##Chihiro:
“Little Chihiro… things are starting to brew in side Kyoto. Legion is on the move, and then there is that Wild Hunt lead by… be safe, okay?”
She sees Chihiro as a foster daughter/little sister. Shion checks on Chihiro periodically to ensure she is eating healthily and not strange plants. Shion cares deeply about Chihiro and always keeps an eye on her. 

##Hoge:
“Hmmm. Chihiro’s little shadowy sister. Teheh, you see? Shadowy, she is hard to see… Ahem. It is good for them to be friends, but both need some sun in their lives.”
Shion doesn’t dislike Hoge, but she thinks Hoge and Chihiro need more lively and upbeat friends to counterbalance their “inner negativity”. She finds Hoge’s unconscious quirk activations to be cute.

##Sally:
“Hmmmm. Americans and their love for guns are always distasteful. I know it is not her fault, but she could always make a katana rifle instead of relying on her quirk, you know?”
Shion thinks Sally is a bad influence on Chihiro, disapproving of her overwhelming “American energy” and her quirk. Shion also dislikes Sally’s paranoia, since it may uncover  Shion’s activities and ties with the Legion.
She may like Sally more if she tries to integrate more into a “proper Japanese girl” like Chihiro.

##Orochi:
“She is old money. Those guys have been playing Hero and Warlord since the time of the dojo’s founders. Well, she is pleasant enough to have around, a good balance to Chihiro’s other friends.”
Shion likes Orochi’s upbeat persona and her more relaxed stance when compared to both Hoge and Sally, a way to balance Chihiro’s group of friends with some positivity. Shion thinks something is always amiss with Orochi, but she can never pinpoint what is wrong.

##Hifumi:
“Oh, Hifumi is a nice guest when he comes to the dojo. He hasn’t come around lately… I heard he was involved in a nasty accident. I hope he is okay.”
Shion likes Hifumi as both a guest, a sparring partner, and a student. She hoped that Hifumi would become the first student of the Mitsuguri Dojo in many years, but she was wrong. When she heard of his “accident”, she decided to let his parents get free medicine from her pharmacy to take care of him.

##Inigo:
“I have heard many great things about him from Chihiro and Hoge, but I rarely see him. Such a pity.”
While she knows the boy is up to something from her sparse talks with “Marrow”, Shion mostly approves of the boy. He and Orochi are good influences on Chihiro and may help her break out from her shell of traumas and sadness, something Shion and Momotaro weren’t able to do.
“His haircut sucks. He should let it grow a little more.”
She is not particularly fond of his hairstyle…
##Ashleigh:
“Another cute little thing. She and Hoge are so cute that I think it may kill me! Ahem. It is good to see someone proactive in improving her lifestyle. Like Chihiro she is timid, her shell is thick, but I can see it unraveling little by little.”
Shion is very fond of Ashleigh, especially because she reminds her of Chihiro. While Ashleigh is not as active as Hoge in learning sword arts, when she comes around, Shion is gleeful to teach her the way of the sword. Shion may act a little too over-protective around Ashleigh, being reminded of how a younger Chihiro used to be.

##Faith:
“Drones are kind of… no. I shouldn’t allow my biases to cloud my view. She is a little headstrong and bratty to me, but I think she will mellow out, eventually. Anyhow, someone with a clear view of what she wants and how to obtain it is appreciated. If Chihiro ever becomes lost, I can count on her to guide Chihiro back… I hope.”
Aquarius keeps her distance from Faith but is happy to see her good qualities shine around Chihiro… even though Aquarius knows she won’t be able to look at Faith without the taint of her biases.

##Yui:
“Such a delinquent! I mean, look at that! Chihiro, look away! She may corrupt you with her ways!”
Shion is not super fond of Yui, but she can tolerate her, and tease Yui if she gets the chance. Shion also sees something from another white-haired young woman on Yui, which strains their relationship even further. She finds Yui’s fashion style and personality to be indecent.


#Heroes:

##Kanburan:
“Severely incompetent by today’s standards. The damn rat gave Legion far bigger trouble than what she is giving the Wild Hunt.”
Shion has zero respect for Kanburan, seeing her as a fake and a sell-out. Kanburan couldn’t keep her students safe, and now those same students are given hell for the mistakes she allowed to rupture inside her school.

##Rosethorn:
“Hmm. At least she is trying.”
While Rosethorn may not have done enough in Shion’s eyes, at least she tries. Few would place themselves in the line of fire to save someone’s life for the sake of saving a life, Rosethorn does that and tries to shield her students from the worst that the world can throw at them.
She is not perfect, but nobody really is.

##Popsy:
“I always like her. To think the poor thing ended like that…”
Chihiro speaks highly of Popsy, and so does Momotaro— that is enough for Shion. While the scandals and drama destroyed the clown’s career, Shion hopes that Poopsy can pick herself together and get some semblance of happiness back in her life. She deserves it.

#Villains:

##Kampai:
“An amateur killer in Osaka who leaves a mess in his wake. I cannot imagine being someone like that. Leaving a mess in your job is not good conduct. It leads to sloppiness and mistakes. What does he hope to accomplish without code and skill? Jail-time speedrun?”
Aquarius sees Kampai as nothing but a brute who cannot think straight, a Buffon who leaves a half-botched job in his wake.
“I would love to take him out if I was not so busy…”

##Feral:
“To think such thing is allowed to roam the streets…”
Aquarius thinks Feral is the worst kind of evil. The roaming lost evil who lives to cause destruction. She knows that Feral outmatches her greatly, and there is nothing she can do until Legion comes to Kyoto.
Aquarius heard that Orochi had been greatly injured twice by the Villain. All she hopes is that Chihiro is safe in those trying days.

##Drekus:
“If only I was there to protect them…”
Aquarius blames herself for not being there to help the girls against such a villain. In her heart of hearts, she has a score to settle against Drekus for daring to damage the mountain and hurt her dear Chihiro.

##The Reaper:
“An abomination. A testament to why we fight against the government. Their darkness, their loose ends are plain to see in that boy. He is unsalvageable.”
She knows that the boy was Chihiro’s classmate once, but that young man is nowhere to be seen now. All that is left of him is an empty husk puppeteered by destructive urges and instinct. Someone should put Sandatsu out of his misery.

##Legion:

##“Marrow” (Junichi)
“A young boy with great potential. Such a pity he is chained to Kyoto’s cell, Tokyo’s cell would be way better for his talents. He has a good heart and drive if anything, he will rise above the Legion’s Kyoto cell, I know it.”
Aquarius keeps an eye on Marrow, sizing up his growth. When not engaging in their domestic terrorist activities, Shion acts pleasantly towards Marrow, seeing the same thing she saw in Momotaro years ago.
She may help him “train” with his quirk, both to make him stronger and help the young man develop his bases in swordplay.

##“The Leader”
“I cannot call her evil, but she isn’t good either. My mentor. She is Legion. She is us… the power that moves us is what can end us as well.”
Aquarius deeply respects the Leader of the Legion, their true Leader. As one of the original members of their movement, Aquarius knows her motives, and darkest secrets, better than most.

##“The Hound”
“He got so mad that The Reaper’s happy merry of psychopaths stole a title he wanted. The Wild Hunt, heh. He heard that an old and rusty Desolator was in Kyoto. I hoped he would come here, but now it is unavoidable. The city will become a battlefield in his presence.”
A destructive person with a bombastic personality. While he is more than happy to carry his actions “silently”, now that he has a chance to fight the Legendary Assassin, he won’t be holding back anymore.

##“The  Machinist”
“That person… is truly evil. To think that I… never mind. They will come to Kyoto too. I hope that Reaper child reaps such thing from this world and chokes on their quirk.”

##“Romeo”
“The poor thing. She has a heart of gold, even if she… ugh. Stinks like hell.”
One of the better leaders of the Legion. A heart of gold, even if the rest is barely holding together. 

##“Momotaro”
“A child full of potential once… now it rings hollow, even if her mettle has only strengthened, she cannot be called a hero anymore. Far from it. She has become stronger, but the child with hopeful aspirations that I once met is no more… I have a duty, both to her and Chihiro. To keep them safe… even if it is no longer what I wish to do, not for her.
I am the blade, she is the swordsman. That’s all there is between us.”

***

Aquarius felt a chill hit her body. The ground trembled beneath her. A horde marched before her. They used tunnels dug in the Warlord Era to move, tunnels forgotten by the government.

They were Legion, for their numbers were uncountable. They moved towards Kyoto, their next target. They moved to face the Night Parade and Wild Hunt, their newest targets.

A rain of blood would befall Kyoto, and none could stop it. On her side, Momotaro watched over the horde, as three shadows lurked behind her.

“Will the destruction be worth it? We could stay back and let them and the heroes kill each other.” Shion whispered. Momotaro looked over her shoulder.

“No. If we let them be, they will seize our opportunity and make a new warlord Era. We cannot let it happen. This is our chance, our leader has said so. Even if some sacrifices are needed… we will win. We will make our vision come to pass.”

Shion doubted that, as heavy war machinery was moved through the tunnels…
