The idea behind this character actually goes back several projects and many iterations, but I'm going to focus on the idea behind the final version. I decided to work with the idea of retainers for the Imperial family and decided each member would have their own head retainer/body guard normally one that mixes with their own style and personality. These individuals would often be picked at an earlier age by older family members based on their chi potential and trained to cover the perceived weaknesses of the royal they would guard. They would be conditioned to be loyal to them, often to the point of love to ensure that they would protect them at all costs and always try to keep them happy. The last part is the biggest reason for Dokura, a character that loves her master so much that even when her master seems to have lost her way she will aid her darker plans. She was made to be sort of a side kick role in the 1st timeline, and sort of a reluctant antagonist/frenemy in the 2nd. The claws are there just because I've loved them as martial arts weapons ever since I played dynasty warriors as a child.
