Background
While still training under her mother, Shizuka developed a relationship with a merchant named Sagiri despite the law of her village. While they hoped to one day change that law, Sagiri was one day killed, prompting Shizuka to live solely for her training and duties to the village, resigned to never love again. In the end she said that she was going to become stronger and one day.
