Sixth Consort

The Sixth Consort was one of the six concubines of emperor Shi Senka and biological mother of emperor Shi Ryuuki.

Appearance
The Sixth Consort, being a famous courtesan in Kiyou before entering the Imperial Harem, possessed vast beauty. It was said by many that in spite of her disgraceful social status of being a courtesan, her eye catching beauty allowed her to make her way into the Harem. She was referred to as the 'Flower of the Harem' for her luscious appearance.

Personality and Characteristics
The Sixth Consort was a very self conscious and narcissist woman. Being a former courtesan, she always wanted to be the center of attention. Though she did not harbour any real feelings for her husband, she wanted to seek his attention as she was used to being sought by men around her. She believed her appearance could seduce the emperor. However, when she saw his indifference and ignorance towards her, she suffered a great shock and her pride was hurt. Left embittered by her wounded pride, she refused to believe that the emperor wasn't interested in her and instead blamed Ryuuki, believing his birth caused her to lose her former beauty.
