Uesugi Kenshin is the Leader of the Uesugi House and known as the "God of Warfare", her swordsmanship is unparalleled in JAPAN. She often leads the charge into enemy forces like an unstoppable whirlwind. Many female generals gather to her from all over JAPAN.
Whenever she learns that another country is in danger and needs help, she will immediately send forth her troops without consideration of the situation of her own house. During the events of Sengoku Rance, Kenshin was requested to have a duel with Leila. Kenshin won the duel by dealing Leila a flash move.
Appearance[]
A stunningly beautiful JAPANese woman, Kenshin is someone that immediately causes a visible reaction from those that witness her. She boasts a slender and physically fit, yet feminine and alluring body capable of charming any man. Her bottom-length blue hair, perfect skin and soft facial features don't look like traits of a warrior, and her graceful and always serene disposition furtherly enhances her title as a "Goddess". She is of average height, and is almost always seen clad on her silver armor, leaving no skin exposed. She also sports a somewhat odd long-pointed helmet. She's noted for being a pleasure to look at when fighting, where she still maintains her refined and elegant appearance. Her godlike outlook is so astounding that countless men and women expressed attraction for her, with a not so small number of her subordinates having crushes for her, and she's universally respected and admired by friend and foe alike. She's surprisingly a lot younger than she looks, being only 19 years old by LP0006.
Personality[]
Unlike what many expect from the woman that earned the title of the Goddess of War, Kenshin is an extremely gentle and submissive girl, largely incapable of feelings of anger or impatience. She speaks in a formal, respectful tone and treats everyone equally, without even thinking of herself as superior to anyone else, and makes sure to never mistreat anyone. Her expression is usually calmed and somewhat serious, but her words are very expressive and emotional. While she manages to be largely effective and admirable as a leader, her young age can be easily perceived by those that meet her, as her immaturity and naivete are far more notable than what people expect. She has an almost mother-daughter relationship with her subordinate Naoe Ai, who she came to rely on a lot on her daily life.
Because of her lack of assertiveness, she usually follows every instruction given to her obediently and is not one to step up and express disagreement over matters. She tends to see the positive aspects of others while overlooking or justifying their flaws, and has a limitless compassion that borders with foolishness. A good example of this was seen in Sengoku Rance, as she was still willing to forgive her uncle after his betrayal despite the fact that he removed her from power and would have traded her as a sex slave had Rance accepted the offer. She's what would be described as a perfectly pure girl, with no evil thoughts or intentions, and almost incapable of comprehending sheer malice. She's also naturally selfless, always placing others feelings above hers without a second thought, and with an incomparable loyalty to those she loves. She's a big glutton, eating portions substantially larger than those of an average man. All her meals are handled by Naoe Ai, who prepares all her dishes personally and administrates her diet. Her unusually big gluttony is a source of embarrassment for her and tries to avoid exceeding with her meals on public view. She seems to have a weak spot for sweets and candies in particular.
In the battlefield her personality drastically changes, becoming the epitome of her nickname. She leads the charge right into enemy forces like an unstoppable whirlwind, and takes a frontal and aggressive stance with an intimidating aura that strikes deep fear onto her enemies. She jumps straight to the enemy with no hesitation or fear, and even without thinking things through, something that her subordinate Naoe usually reprimands her about. She's extremely dedicated to the sword and the traditional JAPANese art of swordplay, regularly training herself in solitude with discipline. She's devoted to the JAPANese god Bishamonten, who she usually prays to and who she usually turns to when she's in situations where she's mentally confused or doesn't know how to act. When this happens, she takes her sword and meditates alone until she reaches a conclusion of how to proceed. She deeply believes in this God and his teachings, holding him in a higher regard than almost anyone else.
She fell in love with Rance in the battlefield, something that striked a lot of concern for her subordinate. She initially found herself in a contradiction about what to do with her feelings as they were enemies and even recognized him as an evil person, forcing herself to conceal her emotions for some time. However, after he saved her and the Uesugi House from her uncle Kensei's coup and joining him in the Oda House, she completely embraced her love for him and came to achieve a profound happiness from being at his side and assisting him. She was the first woman to actually give an honest declaration of love to Rance (Lia too but she was more of a crazy stalker), something that left him completely astonished. Rance was so confused by it that he couldn't even look at her and would usually just run away, which depressed Kenshin. Eventually Rance was able to answer to her feelings and treats her with an impressive amount of respect and care, much more than he does to any other woman. Kenshin never showed even the slightest bit of jealousy over Rance having sex with other women, and has even been happy for her subordinate Ai to hear that she also has grown to like him, furtherly proving her natural selflessness. Ever since she came to accept her feelings for him, she has devoted her life to be with him and make him happy regardless of her own circumstances.
