Everything was… perfect.

Aika had been born to the Emperor and Empress of the Fujiwara Clan, alongside her three sisters – Izumi, Hikari and Chiharu – and her brother, Taro. Aika was the youngest of the four, being the last born (though not the smallest, that place was saved for Hikari) of the quintet. She'd always been the baby sister, the one that needed to be protected, so she often sought Honoka to find respite within. As a little girl, she'd talk about how she planned to have a loving husband with a big family and her perfect wedding, going into detail with her mothers handmaid. Honoka listened, or at least, Aika liked to think that she listened. Everything felt good.

Everything felt fine. Balanced. Until Homura came.

He and his men reigned their terror, the night of their arrival foretold by a moon drenched in blood, just as that night would come to be. Unfortunately, the young Fujiwara girl hadn't found herself able to survive that night, and by chance she found herself in Canis, awake and alive once more after dying that very night. Now, she roams the lands, blessed to have been given a fresh new chance to start anew in these strange, odd lands. Though, she's grateful nonetheless. Aika is usually bound by her pack's territorial claim to The Cosmic Isle, where the newly reformed Fujiwara Dynasty (led by her sister) takes refuge.

She awakes, stumbling across a watering hole, where she finds her sister unleashing her fury after an incident that Aika has since never been made aware of. Izumi is quick to console her sister as memories plagued her fragile and unkempt (afterall, she'd been tossed from the world beyond to this strange new place) mind; "Are you hurt, sister?" Her questions are basic at first, though she is quick to switch after Aika explains that she had faced death at the hands of Homura… the man who simply wanted them for their bodies, and nothing more.

Luckily, her sister had not faced the same fate. "I have died, too. Only to wake up here, after vividly remembering how it happened--" She says this like it's normal, and Aika can't help but feel such a thing is... strange. It is something she'll have to come to face, nonetheless, as many end up in Canis after dying, or randomly... appearing. "--Thankfully not by Homura's men, but by accident..." Afterall, she had always been the lucky sister. At least, that was what Aika thought. Their interaction came to a swift, concise end, as Aika set out looking for the rest of the quintet. She is quick to find her brother, Taro, and brings him along to the watering hole, as well.

Though, Aika is quick to bid the pair farewell, and from then on out, she's set out on her own journey. To find those from their fallen clan, and to meet new friends along the way, Aika's story is far from it's end. In fact, it is merely at its beginning…
