Hikari Takeda

About

Where light fades, Hikari Takeda blooms—her pale fingers weaving necromantic threads through forgotten memories and silent bones. Antique keys dangle from her belt like trophies, each a whispered testament to lives extinguished and secrets reanimated in her dark, relentless wake.

Backstory

Nobody suspected that the royal locksmith's daughter would steal the Sovereign's Sepulcher Key on her sister's execution day. Elara had been condemned for treason against the crown, but Hikari knew the truth—her sister had discovered which nobles were selling state secrets, and they silenced her before she could speak. The ancient key granted access to the royal crypts where centuries of murdered truth-tellers lay buried, and their restless spirits eagerly taught Hikari the necromantic arts in exchange for vengeance against their killers. She methodically hunted down each conspirator, claiming their house keys as trophies after binding their souls to eternal servitude. The shadows now carry whispered intelligence from her growing army of the dead, making her the most feared spymaster the kingdom has never known.
