Dogwood Blossoms: Character Outline
I've had a few people ask for a character breakdown for Dogwood Blossoms. I will continue to update this outline as characters are revealed in the comic. I'll also put here the little background stories about Sesshoumaru's children that don't fit in the comic narrative.
This outline is a supplement to the comic and therefore contains SPOILERS. It's best if you read the comic and then read this for a few more fun details. :)
The Wives and Children of Seiken Sesshoumaru
from Dogwood Blossoms, by Purplerebecca
1st Incarnation - Rin
1540 - 1628 A.D.
Born Rin in rural Japan, has 3 hanyou children.
-1st Daughter, Tsukiko [Moonchild] - Serene and elegant, and much like her father.
With Tsukiko's features being almost full youkai, Sesshoumaru was able to arrange a very prosperous marriage for her with an inuyoukai clan to the North. It wasn't until her brother Koichi visited her in her new home that it was revealed that she was being scorned and mistreated by her new family and abused by her husband. Koichi and Sesshoumaru came in power to take her out of her miserable situation, and in the ensuing battle, her husband and much of his clan were destroyed. Tsukiko returned to her father's house with her small son, and served as female head of the household whenever Sesshoumaru was without a wife.
Because of Tsukiko's negative experience, Sesshoumaru was thereafter extremely careful and often reluctant when arranging marriages for his children.
-1st Son, Koichi [Shining First Son] - Sesshoumaru's dutiful first son.
Koichi took his heirship seriously and was Sesshoumaru's second his entire life. He accepted an arranged marriage with a full inuyoukai lady from Sesshoumaru's mother's clan, and his eldest son, Kenji [Intelligent Ruler], is Sesshoumaru's official heir to leadership of the Seiken clan.
Eventually, Koichi's wife chafed from being second lady to Sesshoumaru's wives and daughters, and left to set up her own household.
- 2nd Daughter, Inuhana [Dogflower] - Frisky little puppy.
Inuhana was Sesshoumaru's first wild child. She spent her life flitting between her father's home and running in the wild having adventures. She always chose her own mates--at various times she had puppies with a powerful mountain dog, and later had a serious fling with an oni (much to her family's chagrin).
2nd Incarnation - Suzu
1648 - 1738 A.D.
Born Suzu [Bell] in rural Japan, she has 4 hanyou children.
That's it for now!
