Xing Yi's most loyal follower and retainer, the woman known
as Dokura is mostly an enigma to Zhu society. She is regarded as a hero and
patriot but all records are very vague on her past with the only solid information
being that she has followed the matriarch since she was a teenager. Both a bodyguard and an assassin she puts her
all into serving the Imperial family and doing what she can to ensure that Xing
Yi is safe and her will is carried out.
A sense of duty and tradition that she tries very hard to pass on to her
own teenage daughter to mixed success. On
the surface she maintains a strong presence and unwavering confidence and
loyalty but beneath it she has her own set of issues. A daughter that forsakes
tradition being at the top of her list, but there is also a creeping sense of
doubt in regards to her Matriarch as she begins to wonder if Xing Yi is losing
her way and becoming something other than the woman she'd give her life for. She had also been a symbol of Zhu strength and loyalty, and the problems she is starting to face may be signs of what is happening to her society as a whole.
