About
Taki grew up in Japan as an orphan. She was taken in by the master of a ninja clan. Toki raised Taki like she was his own and trained her in the arts of the ninja. She became one of the best ninjas, a skilled blacksmith and an expect demon hunter. She made a sword to battle evil demons with and went about freeing Japan's citizens from such creatures. As Taki grew older she began to suspect Toki, her foster father, of corruption. She discovered he was bent on finding a sword know as the Soul Edge due to its supreme power. She then began to notice her own sword was getting weaker. She began to tie the two together and set out to find this Soul Edge.
Taki found the Soul Edge in the hands of a battle weakened Cervantes who was about to kill Sophitia. Taki stepped in and protected the warrior from Athens who had seemingly destroyed the Soul Edge. After a long and tough battle, Taki defeated Cervantes and rescued Sophitia. Taki removed the shards of the Soul Edge from Sophitia's bodies. She then returned home and attempted to melt the shards of the Soul Edge into her trusted sword. The two metals wouldn't take to one another so she tried it on another sword, one that her corrupted master had be wanting. The Soul Edge melted perfectly into this other sword to create an extremely power almost unwieldable weapon. Taki, riddled the blade with ancient charms to suppress its power.
Later on in life, Taki set out after the Soul Edge again and then watched Siegfried and Nightmare clash opposing swords. She witnessed first hand the power of the supposed "good" blade versus the evil one. She realized that the world would be a better place without the presence of either sword. Taki now sets out to destroy both swords independently.
Tactics
