Soko Naruma

Soko Naruma (Yaszumatti: そこ手致) served as the third Tszunna of Yaszuma Tszunare from 30 Y.M. to 34 Y.M. She is a Kaszatti, born to a peasant family during the reign of Tszunna Matsumo. She's an efficient and experienced diplomat, scholar and a cultural and artistic figurehead.

After her reign as Tszunna, she died and was resurrected, becoming partly Poklatti. She served as the seventh Sákosze of Raiyuna in the year 44 Y.M.; and now, is the Katara of Umakwa of Raiyuna Tszunare.

Childhood
Soko was born in the year 15 Y.M., to parents Yasira and Kaszime. She was a part of a peasant family in the small fishing village of Sochinaya, then a part of the Kaszara province.

She spent her free time exploring and playing around her village. This is how she met a young Umarín, who shared her passtime. This young Umarín was Onneszu, who quickly took a liking to Soko. Onneszu was one of the highest ranking Umarín for their age, and one of the main candidates for Yaszuma's Twin Rule program, all the Tszunare needed was a future Tszunna to be taught alongside them.

Soko's parents died suddenly in 22 Y.M., when she was only 7 years old. She was separated from her family, and was left homeless. The nature behind her parents' deaths is unknown to her to this day. Parts of the Naruma Clan believe that their deaths were caused by spirits, but no hard evidence exists to confirm this.

When Onneszu became aware of her situation, they presented Soko to Tszunna Niszara for the Twin Rule program. Niszara pitied the young girl, and took her in. Soko and Onneszu were picked to be the future Tszunna and Lusone shortly after. Soko was mentored by Niszara herself, until her death in 30 F.U.

Soko was coronated as the new Tszunna of Yaszuma that same year, and her reign began suddenly.

Tszunna
New problems arose in the Tszunare during the final years of Niszara's reign, and it was Soko's job to address them. The country needed to modernize for the new world that Eldham was becoming. Balancing internal with external issues was a huge issue. Soko spent most of her time focusing on external threats to the Tszunare, thus neglecting the welfare of her citizens.

For this reason, her citizens turned against her, and ended her reign prematurely in 34 Y.M. with a coup. Soko was forced to give in her resignation, and exiled herself.

Death & Resurrection
Soko chose to end her life off the coast of a small island in Kiruko due to the pains and stresses that had been haunting her since her late reign and resignation. She drowned herself, recalling a Poklatti folktale.

Six years after her death, due to unknown reasonings, a cult from Varn Torum resurrected Soko, and gave her a second chance at life, in 40 Y.M. At first, she was discontent with living again, and returned to her depressive state. With enough time, though, she moved past her old sorrows, and returned to what was now Raiyuna Tszunare.

After Resurrection
Willing to start again, she slowly got back into governing her homeland. She learned from her past mistakes, and strictly focused on the well-being of her citizens. This proved fruitful for her, as she began slowly rising up government ranks.

In the year 43 Y.M., she ran for the position of Sákosze. She was elected the following year, and served her term for the year. She spent her term reorganizing government bureaucracy, and standardizing much of the nation's rusty accounting and documenting practices. She was given the position of Gupamo after the end of her term, and more importantly, the position of Katara of Umakwa.

Personal Life
During a royal consort party sometime during her early reign, Soko met an ex-noble from Rathnir who had went to the party as a jester in order to earn enough money for food and rent. This man's name was Syudou Callypse. The jester impressed her with his tricks and the two began bonding shortly after, eventually agreeing to become engaged.

Soko and Syudou remain married to this day, even after her resignation, death and resurrection. They adopted a son by the name of Komura, along with bringing other associates into the Naruma Clan.

Appearance
Soko's Kaszatti origins give her a dark skin tone, an amber eye color, and a height of 5'8. Her appearance drastically changed after her resurrection in 40 Y.M., as did her demeanor.

Before Resurrection
She wore her hair long, with a dark brown color. She would accompany her hair with various accessories, such as pins and lotus flowers. She often wore the extravagant red and gold dresses that were common for her noble status, in addition to traditional Kaszatti dress styles.

After Resurrection
After her resurrection, her hair turned a crimson red, and her became more Poklatti. She no longer wore the dresses of her noble past, opting for more practical clothing for her various new jobs.
