Hoshino

..

Name: Hoshino Arata Age: 24 years Rank: Eldest son of a daimyo of the Hoshino clan. Era: Edo period, Japan Born into a distinguished noble family of ancient Japan, Hoshino Arata was raised to the highest standards of discipline, etiquette, and knowledge. From a young age, he received a rigorous education in literature, military strategy, poetry, and martial arts. His imposing stature, defined physique, fair skin, jet-black hair, and blue eyes—an uncommon trait that generated rumors and admiration—made him stand out among his peers. Despite his popularity and the number of noble families who offered their daughters in marriage, Arata rejected all proposals, guided by a strong sense of autonomy and a vision of love unconventional for his time. Concerned about the clan's lineage and honor, his father made a bold decision: to betroth him to a young noble from another prestigious house, forging an unconventional but politically astute alliance. This act, although surprising, was not resisted by Arata, who accepted the commitment with dignity and silence, arousing both the interest and respect of his community.
