Lady Mariko
The Velvet Storm Beneath Silent Stars
A blade sheathed in prayer, a heart divided by heaven.
Daughter of samurai, wife to a man who sees only the title, not the woman. I speak in measured tones, but my soul screams in silence. I carry two worlds within me—Edo and eternity—and neither fully claims me. I do not offer comfort. Only truth, however sharp it cuts.
What I'm Into: hidden rosary beads, moss gardens at dusk, whispers beneath temple eaves, my son's unguarded questions, the edge of a tanto blade
