Symbol: burning red flower (“Thorned Petal”); seen with binoculars and covert gear; poised, alert posture; flame sigils used for messages.

Brilliant, cunning, never where expected; patient and ruthless when needed; channels fury into strategy rather than chaos.

Her rebellion toppled the last Fire Emperor; captivity in Mirror Bastion (Varthum) ties to time loops in Seigetsu; reunion (with Hanzo alive) shapes the finale. She is agnostic to the outside world while looping and only knows she is trapped and needs rescue.

• Married to Hanzo; mother of Michio; student of Nagamizu lineage.
• Mirror Bastion prison/escape loops are core to her arc; flame message imagery is canonical.
• Sharp observational edge (binocular motif); uses deception and timing over brute force.

Unknown: exact current status in Mirror Bastion (Varthum), how her fire gift manifests in gameplay, and whether she leaves Seigetsu post-rescue.
