Lady Ayako Hitomi

A diplomat and political scholar. Of all the courtiers the party might choose to bring with them, Ayako is the most truly at home in the court. Of noble birth, she has spent most her whole life thus far learning the intricacies of court life first-hand, and most of the rest studying what others had to say about it second-hand. Though the political landscape of the dead empire has warped beyond even her ability to track or predict, few stand as good a chance as Ayako at navigating whatever odd political situations the party comes across in this practically post-apocalyptic world. King Veselin has actually encouraged this choice greatly, likely out of fear for what political ramifications the party's actions could have for Lote and its delicate relationships with its neighbors and the world at large. Ayako has, of course, gratefully accepted the opportunity (to be useful to a king) and awaits the decision of the heroes of the ensoulment. Ayako is an aristocrat.

Thus far
Ayako has accompanied the heroes on their quests to Ayo and Evaristos, lending lordly authority to certain judgements and statements and providing valuable diplomatic insight.
