Onna-Bugeisha

Onna-Bugeisha
"I am not afraid…I was born to do this."

The Onna-Bugeisha are the wives and daughters of high ranking Samurai and in times of war who have been trained in warfare. Technically this was to protect their household, family, and honor if it became necessary, but in many cases widowed women had to become warriors to oversee their dead husbands estate or fend off invasions or coups while he was away. Many are just as devastating as diplomats and political manipulators as they are on the battlefield. Raised all their lives to be intensely social, their sudden transformation into warriors as competent as any man often throws their opponents off completely.
