Suiren

A 13yearold orphaned girl who accidentally becomes involved with the TaitenGyoudou. Though shersquos small and rather weak she always tried to help her impoverished village. She did this for a while by impersonating a TaitenGyoudou warrior and doing meager tasks such as playing pranks on corrupt government officials or helping lost children find their way home. She meets Taisou when she ldquorescuesrdquo him from some bandits though he wasnrsquot really in danger. He reveals her identity later on and gets her arrested but then saves her and her village as well. Afterwards Taisou literally drags her along with him against her will. In the later chapters she volunteers to join the TaitenGyoudou as an apprentice. Suiren feels strongly about justice and is disgusted with Chinarsquos government. She becomes frustrated when she cannot do anything but watch evil things occur. In the manga her reactions to Taisoursquos and the TaitenGyoudou membersrsquo antics provide comic relief. She also gets along well with Taisoursquos ldquoMasterrdquo. In chapter 24 the ldquoEarth Beastrdquo star chooses Suiren as its new host.
