Zudaeshi

“You all bent to magic's will when it passed me over. But now the magic bends to mine.”
A
Celestial-Hybrid
from
Shinra
who conquers
Harmura
and declares herself Empress. Descendant of the
☵ Water Sanctum
 
Etymology: Zu + Dae (Korean “Great” “Big”) + Shi (Japanese “to govern, rule”). Purposely combining Korean and Japanese words for the political dissonance.
