Personality: Ryunishi is a quiet girl often described as demure. She speaks rarely, and usually only with a small voice that commands little in the way of authority or presence. Her facial expression changes only slightly more frequently, and smiles are an uncommon sight across her face. In most cases, only two things stir her interest and garner her attention: Swords, and art. She has a keen interest in both topics, and wears her enthusiasm on her sleeve whenever either one gets brought up- though swords in particular attract her the most.

Wearing two blades on her belt, Ryunishi maintains a fierce pride in her learned arts, and has a strong desire to continue her studies into the ways of the sword. Occasionally, she may also liken the way of the sword to an artistic form like drawing or painting, and even keeps a sketchbook on-hand in the event something catches her eye. But be it with a pen or a sword, Ryunishi is diligent in following her path, encouraged even more so by her current residence in the Kirin empire, which has driven her to seek out challenge after challenge in the name of honorable self-improvement.

When it does come down to a duel, be it through the cards, the blade, or some other form, Ryunishi adopts a much more vocal personality, becoming very active and enthusiastic. She'll shout and clash with her opponents for as long as their duel progresses, but as soon as the last blow lands, she reverts to her usual low, quiet tone of voice.
