Description
Personality
Motoyasu is a complex character, presenting a duality of meekness and ruthlessness. Her early life experiences, including captivity under the Oda clan and servitude to Yoshimoto Imagawa, instilled in her a deep-seated fear and a tendency to be easily bullied. However, this vulnerability masks a sharp intellect and a ruthless ambition. She is not above using deception and manipulation to achieve her goals, as evidenced by her actions against Yoshimoto Imagawa. Despite her outward shyness, she possesses a strong will and unwavering determination, particularly when her anger is ignited by past injustices. This anger, while potentially destructive, also fuels her drive to prove herself and overcome her feelings of inferiority.
