Kyouka is the 26th head of the Mashiba school of swordsmanship. Her weapon, the cursed sword Piena, is so dangerous that it is normally sealed with chains. When she removes these chains, the sword exudes a miasma that poisons her body, but in return, grants her the power to cut through almost anything—including illusions, magic barriers, and even concepts like "space."

Their relationship is fascinating because Kyouka typically despises "cowardly" tactics (like Adlet’s traps and tricks), yet she admires his cunning. Her loyalty is so profound that she declares, “I will kill anyone who says Adlet is the seventh.” This absolute devotion makes her a dangerous ally and a terrifying enemy. Unlike power-hungry characters, Kyouka views her strength as a burden. The Mashiba style is a "cursed" bloodline. She wields Piena not because she loves fighting, but because she feels a responsibility to use her curse for good. She suffers constant physical pain from the sword’s miasma, yet she never complains. This silent suffering elevates her from a "strong female character" to a tragic heroine.
