Tamahagane compared to many of her compatriots chose to fight. A daughter to one of the odler clans on Atrisia with a long history of serving as the archivists and chroniclers. She is a descendant of Sei Murasaki and hen she was a teenager was wed to the Hojo clan to unite the two houses. She retained her name as they were considered a lesser house about to perish thanks to her father in laws financial and character weaknesses.
Tama had two children at a younger age and self trained herself to defend the castle they were located in. Observing their fighters specifically the naginata which functioned for riders. Her skills were regarded as average but she had determination and would always get back up even after being dehorsed and sent to the ground. An unwritten rule among her soldiers was to not take it easy on her when she wore the armor and practiced with them.
When her children were kidnapped by the considered rogue Tomii clan in the mountains she personally led soldiers from her brothers castle and her own to their gate on the isle of giant ants. Braving the sea and the dangerous creatures they laid seige for fifteen months until the clan gave in and opened the gates releasing the children. Her husband and brother dying in the fight from injuries sustained against the creatures on the island.
She returned home and buried her family raising the children and sending them off to the Atrisian academy. Then when war broke out across Atrisia after the destruction of Jar'kai she donned what she could and marched her men to the front aiding Jubei and Hanzo in their fighting efforts with her riders. The screamers were an impressive mounted unit who moved fast and could get around the area. The improvements in technology meant they had energy bows for surprise attacks.
Her accolades got her a field commission and promotions as the rebellions continue on with Tama leading the ones she could. She was much older then the others but at the time still able o wear her screamer tpe armor. The skilled units being able to move in and strike quickly from horseback. While the rebellions brought her renown and she helped usher in the new era there were other things. She came to know many within the royal family through her niece.
Taken by her father with his small family to a private island he had been rewards the rest of them had perished and her niece joined the princessas a handmaiden chronicling her works and life. It was called into question but not much was brought from it as she met the royals and found no reason to dislike them. Instead returning to her castle and placing her son in charge of her former family lands when he was close enough to a decent age.
