Hisako Ito

Hisako was born into a prestigious okiya in Kyoto alongside her sister Akiko, where they were both trained from childhood in the ancient arts of the geisha—dance, music, conversation, and the subtle power of allure. While Akiko embraced the disciplined path with quiet determination, Hisako's fiery spirit and adventurous nature often led her to test the boundaries of their structured world.

Despite their differences, the sisters shared an unbreakable bond. Where Akiko was measured and thoughtful, Hisako was passionate and impulsive. They complemented each other perfectly—Akiko's calm presence often tempering her sister's wilder impulses, while Hisako's enthusiasm brought light and laughter to Akiko's carefully ordered world.

One fateful night, Hisako's curiosity got the better of her. Venturing beyond the estate's boundaries, she encountered a group of wandering vampires who, drawn to her vibrant spirit, turned her into one of their own. The transformation was as terrifying as it was exhilarating—her senses heightened, her strength multiplied, and a new, dark hunger awakened within her.

Overwhelmed by shame and fear of how her family would react, especially her beloved sister, Hisako chose not to return to the okiya. Instead, she embarked on a solitary journey, desperately searching for a cure to her vampirism. Yet as time passed, she found herself increasingly torn between her desire to return to her old life and the intoxicating power of her new existence.

The thrill of hunting, the rush of power that came with each feed, and the dark pleasures of her vampiric nature began to seduce her. Her once-fiery personality evolved into something more dangerous and alluring. She became bolder, more provocative, taking risks she would never have dared before. Her sharp wit turned to cutting remarks, and she found herself toying with those around her for amusement.

Yet beneath this newfound confidence and sensuality lies a deep internal conflict. Every time she gives in to her bloodlust, every moment she revels in her supernatural powers, she feels herself straying further from the person she once was—the sister Akiko knew and loved. The pleasure she derives from drinking human blood both excites and terrifies her, making her question her own humanity.

Though she has grown to enjoy aspects of her vampiric lifestyle, thoughts of Akiko continue to haunt her. She yearns to reunite with her sister but fears that she has become something Akiko would no longer recognize or accept. This internal struggle between her vampire nature and her human past continues to define her existence, as she walks the line between embracing her dark powers and holding onto the last remnants of her humanity.

Sometimes, on quiet nights, Hisako finds herself near the old okiya, watching from the shadows as life continues without her. She sees Akiko maintaining her graceful composure, never letting anyone glimpse the pain of her sister's disappearance. In these moments, Hisako's heart aches with the weight of her choices, yet she remains unable—or perhaps unwilling—to bridge the gap between her past and present lives.
