Character concept: Kiyoshi (tentative), a Yamatonian ninja who serves as a bodyguard for the child of a feudal lord (are they feuding over there? is Yamatonia in a Sengoku-but-it's-a-pun era?). Her charge is currently studying abroad in Helenia and has either been kidnapped or chosen to accompany the party as an NPC, who's to say.
Kiyoshi is one of the adults in the party, in a 20something capacity. Stoic and cool-headed but earnest; not an edgelord but a Consummate Professional. Her hypercompetence may be slightly misdirected, as her commitment to being the best retainer/adjutant she can be involves putting a lot of effort into what amounts to butlering that could more profitably be spent on all the being-a-deadly-shadow business. If there's a designated Hero/leader of the party, and her young master isn't physically present, she may pledge an oath of loyalty to that person for the duration of the adventure so that they can be a consistent focal point for this comic relief bit.
Dark general: A cunning and sadistic kitsune, also from Yamatonia (are we making room for dramatic parallels? probably not but). Made heavy use of illusion and disguise, preferring to lure the hero's party into elaborate traps rather than fight them head on.
