Back when there were Samurai warriors a group of warriors were looked down upon even though all they wanted to do was help people, they slayed enemies and still they were called filthy dogs, they were even told to kill themselves because they didn't belong, this group's name was called the The Shinsengumi. This group had many different Samurai's Toshizo Hijikata was the vice commander of this group, along with many others in the group. Hijikata created a dojo for young Samurai's, a small place were they could train, someday he dreamed of owning a bigger place, he also hoped that the Shinsengumi would get the respect that they deserved. Hijikata traveled Japan in search of others who could join his team, others would could help the Shinsengumi grow.
On his journey, Hijikata found someone who belonged in Shinsengumi this was Okita Souji (My Character) - a Samurai who used their sword with their left hand, because of this Souji was told she didn't belong as a samurai, however this was not the only reason she was criticized, Souji was the first female Samurai. Souji was one of the best, Hijikata relied on her skills on the battle field, she protected her comrades with her life. The Shinsengumi was her family, this was the only home she had ever known. Souji lived a hard life before she found the Shinsengumi, she learned to protect herself at a young age. Souji was homeless before Hijikata found her, every day she was hungry and needed to hunt for food, it was not safe for a young girl to beg for food, so she always found her own food, she enjoyed fishing and hunting deer. One day Hijikata found a child passed out in an alley, he took a liking to her when he noticed the small sword she carried, he knew this child did not have an easy life, none of his students had easy lives, and he decided he would train her, he carried her back the the Shinsengumi with him and he vowed he would protect her. From that day, he trained Souji, he told her this path would never be an easy one, she was a woman, and she used her sword with her left hand, these two things would get attention, men and women would criticize her, these would all be things she needed to ignore.
Years later the Shinsengumi's name had grown, after years of battle many knew that name, the civilians no longer called them dogs but warriors. Still Souji could never stop proving that she belonged, when ever she walked the streets women glared at her, they thought it was absurd for a woman to hold a sword, they called her many names and sometimes even threw things at her.
Now that their name had grown many would hire them for their help, rich men would hire them to do the battles for them, others hired them as body guards protecting royals.
