Yoshiko Shisara

Yoshiko Shisara is a powerful mage known as the Machina Priestess. Her exact origins are unknown at the time but she was born and raised in a land where metal and forges were as common as people. The metal of this land is a very precious to them, and more exotic metals are guarded in a vault. She herself was the leader at one of the most powerful forges known across the lands known as the Dragon Forge, whose flames burned as hot as a fire dragon's fire. She has a large following due to the quality of her work propelling her family into a sense of nobility in some sense, but it was an artificial one in the sense that it would not last. To ensure its lasting effect during a meeting she instigated a violent take over of the assets of all of the noble's funding by getting the Val Royeaux to raid the vault. Having succeeded she set out for a more interesting challenge to prove her strength in the unforgiving world she resided in. She is also a councilor of the Val Royeaux.

Appearance
Yoshiko ooks like a young woman with very long, violet hair tied into a ponytail, and soulless red eyes. She wears a white and red Japanese-style outfit reminiscent of an empress, tied with a light blue sash, with a golden crown and a dark cape over her shoulders. In battle she does not battle in her normal priestess-styled regalia, but changes to a less restricting, more revealing outfit.

Personality
Yoshiko views herself as an empress in the sense of her skills and feats being above those she is familiar with. She is incredibly prideful viewing herself as one of the strongest mages in all of earthland, and views her empire as one of the strongest there has ever been. She has a very cold and emotionless exterior one so chillful people that haven't even met her, or if she's in the general vicinity have a chill go up their spine. She is a business woman at heart, and constantly on the lookout for profitable jobs she can do on the side to satisfy her boredom. She dislikes being bored and often looks for things to kill time with, or even get into fights to sate it. The one thing she absolutely detests is pity, she will refuse to give it, nor will she stand to receive it usually responding with violence stating that the rule of the land will be and always will be kill or be killed. Although, she won't kill anyone if she views that such action has no value. To her practically everything has a monetary value or a number to it but she does know that somethings might be beyond her grasp.
