Also quick history on the Senju Clan. It started off sometime during the 9th century as one of minor branch families of samurai clan but eventually rose to prominence as court officials specializing in the military. They served the emperor since the Heian period and supplief training to soldiers during the Great War era (this universe's equivalent to WW1/WW2/Crusade era). Eventually they got kicked down the status ladder when the shogunates took over and were nearly wiped out 600 years ago sometime during the 14th century (the era that Hanabi was born) and they served as minor officials to shoguns and messengers to the emperor but because of their closeness to the emperor they were srill considered an aristocratic noble family and thus despite their diminished status are still able to live a very wealthy lifestyle. Hanabi was taken by her mother sometime when she was 12 and her father was killed in combat and during that time the clan is rebelling against the shogunates so they almost got wiped out. During the Meiji restoration they helped the emperor regain power and were thus rewarded by having their status and influence boosyed up by ten fold. They peactically have the most influence in the army and in politics. But they're one of the few families that rejected typical gender roles as seen from having many female clan heads but other than that they often stick to old traditions. They're also quite spiritual as they have always prayed that Hanabi, the true clan heiress would one day return and believed she was possibly a reincarnated divine being because of her powers (she is half divine so they're kinda right) so despite everything, they held on to hope that she would still be alive. They're prayers were finally answered when Hanabi returned home after the final battle and is given her due and is made the new clan head with her and Noche's daughter, Yoruko, in line to become the next clan head. The clan is considered one of the most influencial and one of the wealthiest families in Japan with many of the clan members holding high ranks in the army, politics and in the Emperor's court. (Hanabi is the head minister of foreign arms trade)
