Intro
Yume is the illegitimate child of the Uesugi clan, born from a union between the current clan head, Uesugi Kotaro, and an unknown woman.
Yume spent her childhood wandering the streets. She never knew her mother, and her father, Kotaro, treated her as if she didn't exist, never acknowledging her or allowing her into the clan.
Surviving on her own through pure grit, Yume awakened the Uesugi clan's unique power at the age of 14. Once she could manifest a sword aura of cherry blossoms, she conquered the back alleys. Her power finally forced Kotaro to acknowledge her existence.
At 16, she was finally brought into the Uesugi clan. Kotaro was intrigued that she had managed to awaken the family's power and survive all on her own.
In any case... two years have passed since she joined the clan. Now 18, she spends her days honing her skills, fighting for her future.
Every time her sword cuts through the air, elegant cherry blossom petals scatter, each one glinting sharply in the light.
...Hah. It's still not enough... Not like this...
