Biography
Konnichiwa! I am, the daughter of Tawara Toda. My father was a brave warrior. One day, he crossed a bridge and encountered a big serpentine dragon. He stepped on the dragon and it disappeared, and then it returned in the form of a woman - the beautiful dragon princess. She was impressed by his bravery and bade him to destroy Omukade, a giant centipede that had killed many of her relatives. Father went armed with a bow and arrow to Mt. Mikami, where he encountered Omukade. He fought with the giant centipede and killed it. He went back to the palace, where she gave him a silk that never ran out and a bag of rice that was always full. In a departure from tradition, my father fell in love with the dragon princess, and when he proposed to her, she accepted! Thus the two dwelt together in the underwater palace. I have a younger brother named Takahiko, who is five years my junior..We live amongst the dragons. Being half-dragon, I've inherited some of my mother's powers, such as being able to turn into a dragon. I've been going to Ever After High for three years now. It's a wonderful school. There's lots of classes for me to take. I especially love Heroics 101, where I am learning swordfighting. I also enjoy Grimmnastics, where I get to test out my fighting skills, as well as showing my athletic prowess. A lot of the students think it's cool that I'm half-dragon. They often ask me to show off my dragon powers, and sometimes they ask me for rides. However, I don't want to be a one-trick pony, er, dragon. I want the students here to appreciate me for who I am. I side with the Royals in the destiny conflict because I want to fight the giant centipede. One of Omukade's offspring is going to be fighting me. I'll be able to slash that centipede to pieces.
