Nariko

How Nariko joined the Tourney
Nariko’s birth was meant to serve as the arrival of the savior of her clan, the one who could wield the legendary Heavenly Sword, a fate originally foretold of a male. Despite her people’s rejection, her father raised her to be a headstrong and fearless fighter. Joined with the legendary blade, she finds her skills, and her enemies’ peril, amplified to heights undreamed of.

When her sword tells her she must enter the second Tourney in order to bring down Bohan, Nariko sets out and is confronted by a cybernetic knight named Drive Knight.
