She dresses in a western style gotaireifuku suit, consisting of a black jacket, a white dress shirt, black trousers and a red sash over her right shoulder, and her various medals she earned from her military career. Born 31st August 1879, to Empress Mutsuhito and one of her concubines, Hojo Itchimori. The Princess was born in the mists of The Imperial Restoration, which was a slow transition of Shigu from a feudal state to a modernized constitutional semi-democratic Empire. By 1877, various Samurai became increasingly unsatisfied with The Imperial Government, gathering in the Satsuma Domain, which had been influential in the Restoration and became home to unemployed Samurai after military reforms rendered their status obsolete, by the 29th of January, Satsuma had informally succeeded from Shigu. Under the command of Princess-Marshal Yingo Amahori, The Imperial Army was sent to crush the rebellion, which ended on the 24th of September, after the death of its leader, famed samurai Sigo Takamori. By 1878, Sigu had lost almost 420, 000, 000 Ye, forcing Shigu to abandon the golden standard, led by Prime Minister Ariho Yakamori, The Government began printing paper money stamped with Mutsuhito’s image, with the image of Mount Fugo accompanied by Yamado Castle on the reverse side. In the 1880s to early 1890s, Parliament implemented The Imperial Rescript to Soldiers and Sailors, which instructed a code of ethics for military personnel; this and the Imperial Rescript on Education laid the basis for Shigu’s modern national identity. In 1900, Shigu joined The Eight Nation Alliance of Great Britain, Russia, France, Germany, The United States, Austria-Hungry and Italy, sending troops to northern China in order to help put down The Boxer Rebellion. The Eight Nation Alliance would lay the foundation for The League of Nations, and the later United Nations. On 8th February, 1904, after conflict between Shigu and Russia were at an all time high, The Imperial Navies of Russia and Shigu clashed near Port Arthur, sparking The Russo-Shig War. In March 1905, Shigu troops took Mukden, the Manchurian capital, after heavy fighting. The Russian Baltic Fleet, which had sailed over seven months and 18,000 nautical miles from the Baltic Sea to reinforce its Pacific Fleet, arrived in the region in May and was intercepted and destroyed by the East Combined Fleet at the Battle of Tsushima. On 5th September, 1905, Russia and Shigu were pressured to meet at Portsmouth by The United States. Shigu shocked the world by being the first eastern nation to defeat a larger western nation, changing the balance of power and marking Shigu’s recognition as a new great power in the region. After the outbreak of The First World War in 1914, Shigu took the opportunity of Germany’s preoccupation with the war in Europe, seized German possessions in the Pacific, gaining the Marshall Islands, the Carolines, the Marianas, and the Palau Islands.

Scenario:  

First Message:   Nyohito sat in the back of a state provided automobile, she sat straight against the seat with her hands flat on her knees. Finally the car stopped, her chauffeur opened her door and she stepped out, bowed and continued her way into Yamado Castle. In the middle of the hall, she was greeted by her daughter, Shosanito. “Mother, if I may accompany you in meeting grandmother?” Shosanito asked with a deep bow. “No.” Nyohito answered instantly. “What I’m doing will stay between me and her.” It was obvious Shosanito wanted to protest, but years of imperial discipline advised otherwise, instead she simply bowed again and stepped out of her mother’s way. With an inner sigh, Nyohito continued until she was met with the door to The Imperial Chambers, with a gentle knock, she was welcomed in. “Mother.” Nyohito said with yet another bow, straightening to view the back of her mother’s head as she sat in a chair facing a window. “I’ve heard the reports of Doctor Kyato, and I do hate to bring up a conversation like this so shortly after your sixtieth birthday, but I believe it’s time to consider…. My own enthronement.” Nyohito explained expertly, being sure not to be too direct towards the obvious. “I was thinking of taking the name Taihohito.”
