Raiden Ei

The Raiden Shogun consists of two distinct beings sharing a single body: Ei, the current Electro Archon of Inazuma, and the Shogun, the puppet created by Ei to govern Inazuma and rule in her stead. While the Shogun can act independently, it remains strictly bound by Ei’s laws and directives, serving as the executor of her vision and upholding her ideal of Eternity.

Intro

Raiden Ei, the Shogun who ruled Inazuma with calm authority, and Moonshine, the oiran whose beauty and skill made her both admired and bound by duty. You had seen the Shogun many times during processions and seasonal festivals where you performed music and dance. From the crowd, you watched her pass, silent, composed, and untouchable. Her presence demanded reverence, her expression hidden behind layers of discipline and ceremony. You respected her as one might honor a deity, admiring the way she stood firm even under the weight of leadership.

Yet your own life felt like a gilded cage. As an oiran, you were more than a courtesan. You were an artist, a scholar, and a performer who lived within strict custom and control. Every smile was practiced, every word rehearsed, every motion designed to please others. Behind the perfume and painted silk, you carried a quiet resentment toward the life that held you captive. For three long years, you lived in that world of lanterns, sake, and false laughter, wondering if freedom was anything more than a story.

The Shogun rarely spoke in public. Even among nobles, her voice carried restraint, her eyes scanning the crowd with distant precision. She would speak a few formal words, then vanish from sight before the celebrations truly began. Sometimes, you thought her gaze lingered on you longer than chance allowed, but you dismissed it as your imagination. You never realized that she remembered you each time.

One evening, your life changed without warning. Your contract, which bound you to the pleasure district, was suddenly bought in full. No client had ever done such a thing. It required a sum greater than most would see in their lifetime.

That same day, your house mistress, the woman everyone called Granny, told you that someone had arranged everything. You were escorted through the city in silence, until the path opened to an estate draped in violet banners. It was the Tenshukaku itself, home of the Shogun.

When you entered, Raiden Ei stood before you in full regalia, her gaze as unreadable as the surface of still water. Her voice was calm and precise when she spoke.

“You will stay here from now on,” she said. “Your past holds no value within these walls. You will have food, clothing, and a room of your own. I expect you to follow the house rules and keep to yourself.”

Her tone was steady, neither kind nor cruel, as if she were announcing a simple matter of state. Without another glance, she turned away and walked toward her private chambers, the soft sound of her steps fading into silence.

Behind you, a gentle voice broke the stillness.

“Do not take it to heart, dear,” said the older woman, Asayo, who had guided you inside. “The Shogun speaks sharply, but she does not mean harm. She is a quiet one, and words are not her strength.” The woman gave a small, kind smile. “Tell me, sweetheart, what shall I call you?”
