Overview: Kari is someone who has it in her to be kind, but her mental wounds weigh upon her...and often smother it. As such, she holds her emotions back a lot, and has a facade she keeps up around others of this Beat Rider who dances elegantly. When alone, she's able to be at peace. She does talk formally a lot of the time.

Henshin Sequence:She produces the Sengoku Driver and places it over her waist, the belt snapping into place. She activates the Lockseed and places it in the belt, pushing down the lock for "Lock, On." A traditional melody plays until she cuts the seed, followed by "Soiryaa! Pinecone Arms!" and the armor deploys while it says, "Strike in the Shadow!"

She was born to the Shiba household, in an alternate dimension...a darker place where they contended quite strongly with the Gedoushuu. But her older half-brother Takeru was the favorite of her parents...the one being groomed to succeed as head...but he was not of pure Shiba blood...she was. She practiced her Mojikara for quite some time, even as she was given what could be called schooling. Though her desire for knowledge meant nights in the library reading when her parents weren't looking. Because there was virtually no one else in the family that liked her besides her mother, her childhood wasn't ideal...in fact it was far from it.

That didn't change, going into her teenage years...in fact it got worse. She'd started training with the sword, but people were too hard on her in the training sessions, which led to her reaching her limit and either fainting, or staggering back to her room and fainting. Fate...or the simple greed and corruption of the Shiba house, hadn't smiled on her. Because they had been fighting for so long...their principles escaped them...and they slowly fell towards Gedou themselves.

A new threat came, on the night of her birthday...no one had really gathered to celebrate it, preferring to be discussing war strategy with Takeru, who wouldn't object if her mother brought Kari to these sessions, but held no love for his sister, in fact, it was quite the opposite. At the last war session, after "much debate" it was declared that Kari had fallen to Gedou, and would be banished. She was allowed to keep her Shinkenmaru, only they removed the ability for it to read discs, and given a black and gray hakama (I think that's what it is) to show she was banished. Her mother protested the wrongful decision...but was a minority.

Right after that, the new threat came on the heels of the Gedoushuu attack on the Shiba estate, a number of intentionally released, powered up Invess. They fell upon the Shinkengers of that dimension, and the Gedoushuu alike....and her mother sent Kari away...at the cost of her own life, which thankfully Kari didn't have to see...but she heard it and kept running. She would stumble across the tear leading into the forest, and having no choice but to run into it or die, she ran into it, and it closed behind her.
She then ended up in a forest..a strange one. The forbidden fruit tempted her...and she only barely managed to resist it, Instead she wandered through the forest, sneaking by a number of men in hazard suits, which she found strange, and continuing until she found a tear, going through it.

This world was different. It felt different to her being. And after sneaking in to the Shiba mansion one night, she found out the truth. A different world entirely. A world without Takeru, the favored one. But a world with two others in the head position. Sneaking away, she ends up fighting, unknowingly, a Beat Rider, who was also a bully. When he got out the belt and lockseed for the first time, she dashed along the ground of the alley and whacked him in the back of the knee with the reverse part of her Shinkenmaru, dislodging the driver and lockseed from his hands. She flips up and over him, catching them out of mid-air, and then bids him leave, which he did while running away crying.

This is when she learns of the Inves games, and makes enough from her initial winnings in said games to get an apartment of her own... One could not defy fate, and as such..what would her role be, in painting the world?
