Background
A long time ago, in a nation far, far away, a samurai's wife gave birth to a little girl, and that samurai named the child Chihiro. This was somewhere in the area of 350 years ago.
What happened between then and now, no one really knows, except that child herself, who now stands more than eight feet tall and insists that everyone add the "-san" honorific to her name. It is known that somewhere along the way, Chihiro-san learned to wield a naginata, which was not unusual for the daughters of samurai, and also learned to use a katana, (which was perhaps a bit odd) and to command the forces of magic, which was rather unique. Chihiro-san also picked up a fondness for tarot divination, cats, kimono, and rock operas at some point. Possibly not in that order. She turned up in Paragon City's Eastgate district some time before Theo and Keiko Alteridem did, and moved to Founder's Falls after the Hollowing, where she resides with her apprentice and ward, Lorelei Nachtigall.
Current Status
Chihiro-san is the Alteridem Foundation's number-one source for magic. Whether they need a spell cast or broken, or just want information, Chihiro-san is regarded as the one to ask first. She can usually be found in her house in Founder's Falls, assuming one can get past the protective magics which make the place almost impossible to find. There she spends her days granting Lorelei Nachtigall her unique brand of wisdom, and helping the Foundation address its mystical problems. Only occasionally does Chihiro-san take up her katana and do battle, and she hasn't used her naginata since the Rikti Invasion.
Chihiro-san also has more than a few friends of a mystical sort, spirit-beings of many varieties which semi-frequently turn up at her home for some green tea and a long chat. No one, presumably except Chihiro-san herself, knows where these beings come from, where they go, or why they're always showing up at Chihiro-san's place.
Personality
How does one describe a woman like Chihiro-san? Many of her friends and associates go for "eccentric". Lorelei Nachtigall prefers "insane", which may actually be more accurate. Chihiro-san's centuries of experience have had their effects on her mind, and so she is cheery, outgoing, and entirely out to lunch. Chihiro-san insists on adding Japanese honorifics to names, often giving people nicknames based on them. She loves to show off her power, and is quick to offer advice to those in need -whether they want it or not.
