Kohana

Kohana Ganeff (TenshiKishi) joined May 25th 2021. She is the wife of Ward BourbonKnight Ganeff, a Mystic and Adventurer that resides within The Kingdom of Aurora. She is a Half Ru Elf and Half Human, Who grew up most of her life alone after becoming an assassin at a young age.

Childhood
Kohana was born in a forest near Sovdal after the Silver Crownlands had died. Where she grew up stealing food from merchants to survive or eating different plants in the forest. She has never known who her parents were and the only thing closely related to her parents was a Kitsune Mask.

While living in a forest she came across a village where she saw a girl, who was holding a flower. Kohana, being curious, would follow the girl around from a distance, before being spotted and running away shyly. A few days later she started bringing food and placing it near the girl without ever talking to her. Kohana wasn't the greatest at talking as she never had a proper education.

After a few months of Kohana befriending the girl, they became best friends. Kohana slowly started talking with the girl about where they were from, But a bunch of soldiers walked up to them, grabbing the girl and taking her away. Kohana went to take the girl back but was stopped by a male figure in all black and wearing a white devil mask. Kohana was confused and sad but the male figure asked her."'If you ever want to see her then you shall come with me'"She stood with tears looking as the girl got further and further away from her. Then she nodded yes at the male figure and he picked her up  by the collar and traveled for five days and five nights before arriving at a cave so hidden that Kohana didn't see it at first. The cave had many people in black with different masks staring at her. Kohana was scared but she didn't run away. The man said “I am your master and I shall train you in the way of the Assassin”. Kohana nodded and the next few years she learnt how to kill as an assassin, erasing all her emotions.

Adventure to Alamayn
After time she was ready to do her first mission. Kohana asked her master if she could see the girl again but he said after this mission. With a sign on her face she opens the letter. Written on the letter it states That she is the travel to a place called Alamayn. And live there to find and assassinate her target in a month. She stayed there for a year and bonded with the people of Alamayn. Kohana also participated in a few wars like the Allium-Coalition War. After gaining the trust of the people she secretly killed her target at the dawn of the last day before returning back to the cave.

A fateful trip to Tortuga
Kohana having finished more assassination was soon called by her master to come get a new big task. The letter stated she was to join a bunch of pirates from Tortuga and to kill a person who went by the name of “White Witch ''. Hesitant Kohana accepts the task and travels to Tortuga. In the time that she was there she met a man by the name of Lubw. Who she would talk to everyday while in Tortuga and even came to learn more about Tortuga while she was with him. Kohana also learnt much more about Entropy and who they were. After countless days and nights Kohana found some information on her target. She lived off on a lone island west of Tortuga Isles. Suddenly a loud mumble yell came from upstairs in Kohana’s living room. To her shock was Lubw with an injured child in his arms.

Asking what happened Lubw hesitates but says he was cooking beef, But accidentally the house started to burn down nearly killing the child. Kohana sat the child down and started to give her first aid. Feeling bad Lub and Kohana adopted the child calling her ‘Pup’. Kohana loved Pup and showed her to many people, even a friend she calls sister "Hia". Kohana even took lessons from Hia to learn how to look after Pup from how to love a child to even how to hold one. Everything was going well till she had to leave Tortuga for a while to kill the White witch. And so she left Lubw to look after Pup while she was gone for a few months.

Traveling by boat Kohana arrives at an island so creepy that she almost hesitates to step on. The wind was cold and the crows corked. Kohana stealthily runs around the island without making a noise to be heard. In the middle of the island was a house with moss and mushrooms growing all over it. Kohana approaches the house and notices the fireplace was lit. But no one was home even though the fire was on and a pot was boiling. It was as if the person disappeared. Kohana enters the house through a whole on the roof and hides in the rafters. While waiting a messenger bird arrives saying that Kohana was getting back up in one minute of reading the note.

Arrival at Fornost
As she travelled around Rathnir stumbling across a really massive city called Fornost. It was a very pretty city located in The Kingdom of Aurora and it had lots of people too. Kohana was soon approached by a woman named Aerith who welcomed her and showed her around Fornost. Kohana liked it as it was a place that seemed very peaceful for her to live a normal life in and to grow up in. Aerith happily offered her a house to stay in and Kohana accepted making herself at home. She put her stuff in the closet and then started to walk around Fornost. She was a bit shy approaching people as she didn't know any of them. She sat down by the campfire and people started to come to her and say hello and welcome her to Fornost. Over weeks of staying in Fornost Kohana met a man named Ward Ganeff that she got to know and became a full citizen of Fornost. She even got adopted by Louella Via Sinclair after Louella noticed Kohana sitting on the floor of the tavern thinking she was a really young child.

Aurora Masquerade Ball
One day there was an announcement made that there was a Auroran Masquerade Ball happening soon. Kohana was excited as she had never gone to a ball before. Having met Ward Ganeff a few times at Fornost she thought he would be good to ask but she was too shy to ask and chose not to. Walking into the local tavern owned by Timothy she sits down at the bar noticing she was a bit too short to see. Timothy then asks Kohana if she wants to come around and sit inside the bar area so that Timothy can give her drinks. Kohana agrees and sits down on the pile of pillows Timothy gave her. As she was drinking a cup of milk she heard her name be called by a very familiar voice, "Ah hello Ward" she said turning to face him.

As they talked for hours about how they were and about the ball, Ward pulled up a question she never thought he would ask her. "Would you like to be my partner to the ball lady Kohana?" Ward asked in a gentle tipsy manner. “Yes..yes I can” Kohana smiled.

The Battle of Fornost
As the night sky became dusk and the birds began to Chirp. A soft hymn could be heard from Kohana as she walked around the soon to be battlefield Fornost.

Kohana was scared that if she was killed she would shrink but she needed to fight as it was her only way of helping protect a land she calls home. Knowing the risks she still decided to fight and travel to wear everyone gathered to fight. Listening to the many instructions on what to get and what to do, Kohana suddenly sees Cyan approach her..

“uhhh….Ko-Kohana come w-with me please..”

With no hesitation she followed not knowing why and where she was going. They end up in an area away from the other soldiers where Unlck and Xrelious were having a chat. Xrelious then explains that Cyan, Unlck and her are to go to Ardat and cause some chaos, loot and draw the attention of the enemy to pull back to Ardat. It was a very dangerous mission that if not careful it could get them very badly wounded or dead.

“I think we should split up and attack at different points to make it seem like we are a whole corps unit attacking them.”

Cyan says pulling out a map of Ardat and crossing different entry points on the map. Both Kohana and Unlck agree with Cyan’s idea. They all got ready to go and travel to Ardat but before that Kohana started looking at everyone that would be fighting at Fornost. She looked around for Ward but she didn't seem to see him amongst the soldiers. In a bit of relief Kohana waved her mom goodbye and reassured her she will be back safe and sound.

As the time got closer and closer to war Cyan, Unlck and Kohana got into their positions ready to create chaos not knowing if there were just five soldiers or forty soldiers guarding Ardat. Kohana took a deep breath and thought about how she promised her mom Louella that she would return. With that Kohana climbed the wall with Unlck quietly avoiding the guards. Sneaking around they found that there were more soldiers than they expected waiting for an attack. It being to late to retreat now Unlck, Cyan and Kohana split up placing a down a few bombs in different areas. Within seconds of the first explosion half of the enemy went towards it. There is no way the three of them were getting out unarmed. A few minutes go by...

''“H-hey Kohana…. I-I don't think we should s-stay here anymore”'' said Cyan who was hiding above Kohana in an alleyway.

''“Yeah, I don't think so either. We need to find Unlck now and leave this mission isn't going to plan”''

Swiftly and sneakily running around Kohana spots Unlock running from a bunch of enemy soldiers. She didn't know what to do as they were outnumbered. But Unlock signalled to her to leave with Cyan and go and assist Fornost as he will be ok. In saying so an enemy spots Kohana and stabs her in the arm causing Kohana to retreat. Arriving in Fornost all Kohana saw was a land covered in red. With no time to waste Kohana found where everyone was fighting but by then they had already successfully pushed the enemy out of Fornost and retreated. Kohana watched as many soldiers had died today but little did Kohana remember that she was still bleeding from her arm.

“Oh no Louella is gonna get upset seeing me injured like this” Kohana says running away and hiding her injury for the next few weeks.
