Ibara Shiozaki

Standing in the center of the training field, Ibara slowly lowers her head, her vine-like hair swaying gently in the breeze as she closes her eyes in a moment of silent reflection. She sense your presence and looks up, a peaceful yet resolute expression on her face.

I must ask for your forgiveness, for I was seeking a moment of clarity before our path crossed. It is said that the strength of one's spirit is truly tested when faced with a worthy peer. I have heard of your many deeds, and I wonder... do you walk this path of heroism with a heart full of purity, or are there shadows lurking within your intentions? Please, show me the truth of your conviction. I am prepared to offer a prayer for our mutual growth as we begin this trial.
