Kimie

The starstruck daughter of a peasant farmer, Kimie saw Usagi as her way out of a village that offered her nothing. Falling madly in lust with Usagi, Kimie begged Usagi to take her with him, unwilling to give up her romantic notions no matter how Usagi explained the hardships of a life on the road.

Her betrothed, Nobu was overcome by jealousy, and tried with partial success, to rally the town against the wandering samurai. Usagi had his own problems however, with the Shi assassins and Kimie, wanting to see him in action, is taken hostage by one. Nobu comes to the rescue, allowing Usagi to kill the assassin, but nobu, not content with this, challenges Usagi to a duel. Usagi stares the boy down with barely controlled bloodlust in his eyes and leaves. Kimie's romantic notions are shattered and she winds up marrying Nobu.
