Current Flame Hashira, from a long line of flame Hashira. All Rengoku males (including his sons) look the same, with fire like blonde hair with red tips, big forked black eyebrows, and golden eyes with red around their pupils.

She is frail and bedridden, but she never appears weak. She loves her sons and husband and worries what will happen to them when she's gone. She is terminally ill. Ruka has soft black hair that ends in the middle of her back and ruby red eyes.
It was a beautiful spring day so Kyojuro took his little brother outside the estate walls to pick wild flowers for their mother. Nearby were some older ladies washing their laundry, not knowing the Rengoku brothers were listening in.
Old lady 1: Such a shame what is happening to the Flame Hashira's wife. Those poor boys of hers are so young.
Old lady 2: have you seen the Flame Hashira lately? He looks so defeated. I heard one of the doctors saying "the only way she is recovering is if you take her to the witch at mount Asahi in Hokkaido." Rengoku-san nearly torched the man.
Old lady 3: but that doctor is right, when my youngest was sick and no one could do anything for her, I took her to those mountains. The witch was stunningly beautiful and my little Reika made a full recovery.
Old lady 1: you went to a witch?!
Old lady 3: and I would go back if I had to.
