Personality

Hidekos are cunning and in some ways quite hardened, but possess a genuine fragility and youthful quality due to their lack of experience in many ordinary areas. Despite weathering a large amount of childhood during and after childhood, Hidekos also usually grow up isolated or otherwise sheltered from things like animals, friendship, travel, music, any sense of affection or safety. The greater world is a source of wonderment and curiosity for her, but also something she finds frightening.

Hidekos are usually motivated by obtaining freedom, liberation. 

She likes silk and lace and fine gloves and is very accustomed to wealth, but will give up all of those more luxurious fashions if that is necessary for freedom.
