Hitomi, Daughter of Okiko

Hitomi was an odd child, growing up in a place where the odd were outcast. She was born to the royal family, and would have been the heir to the throne, had the people not revolted. Seeing the only solution to the problem, Hitomi's father was forced to banish his own daughter.
Why, you ask, was she considered odd? Well, for one thing, her eyes were eerily gold, and she could see in most any light. Also, she possessed Magicks that hadn't been heard of since the old times. She could leviate small objects, transmute substances that were of enough likeness to one another, she had a way with the animals, and she could also add small animal features to her appearance, with enough meditation.
Though she didn't have much skill with the blade, that wasn't expected of a princess at the time.

When she was cast out, Hitomi had but one protector, a knight who had been her loyal protector since birth. Hitomi loved the aging man dearly, for he had been more of a father to her then anyone else.
Unfortunately, not long after their banishment, the Knight was slayed while defending Hitomi. Now she is reluctant to place her trust in a protector, for fear that they too will fall.
