Tomoe Gozen

Tomoe was especially beautiful, with white skin, long hair and charming features. She was also a remarkably strong archer, and as a swordswoman she was a warrior worth a thousand, ready to confront a demon or a god, mounted or on foot. She handled unbroken horses with superb skill; she rode unscathed down perilous descents. Whenever a battle was imminent, Yoshinaka sent her out as his first captain, equipped with strong armor, an oversized sword, and a mighty bow; and she performed more deeds of valor than any of his other warriors.

    Wow.. She looks beautiful. And I feel it's different from your normal stuff. She has this really strong mysterious woman feel. I dunno, I imagine she's from like a Chinese... old world fantasy movie or something. Beautiful! <3
