Tenome Ruri

Tenome Ruri (瑠璃天お目, Ruri Tenome) is a legendary figure of yore, occupying a central place in the Ruri imaginary. Born on the distant Eastern Continent, she was the first child welcomed by the and her mortal partner. Envisioned as a gateway between heaven and earth, Tenome would buck that trend the moment she was able. Her failure to obtain magic hastened it; unable to wield ethernano, her body devoid of the substance, she would even have the dubious honor of breaking magic tools. Still, she was stronger, faster, sharper, and more athletic than any other in the civilization, eventually catching the attention of the land's king. Enrolled in its military academy, she would excel in the martial arts before deserting, aiming for her own adventure.

The road would take her many places; from the halls of storied dojos to the palaces of emperors and kings, to the valleys where magic revealed creatures and secrets not known to man. Her trek would lead to the heavenly homes of several deities, fighting twin goddesses to a standstill in one instance. Yet the earth was not done with her; a wily, cheeky prince fallen from grace would capture her heart. Together, they set off for another part of the eastern lands, building a kingdom of their own, and a family to go with it. Outliving her husband, she would live to see the reigns of her son and grandson before she too departed to the afterlife, reuniting with her mother and becoming Murakumo-ōmikami (天叢雲大御神, Great August Deity Gather Clouds of Heaven).
