She is the bastard child of head Noh assassin and a Giesha - her mother murdered and she horribly scarred by a dishonored half-brother. She wears the mask of a Kabuki to hide the scars both internal and external from the world. Volume II: Dreams - The epilogue to Kabuki: Circle of Blood, Kabuki: Dreams is a mix of Japanese mythology and a modern near death experience. A woman dies and has a vision of the afterlife in which she is visited by her dead mother. She returns to life with a new sense of resolution and purpose. The story is told with fully painted artwork.
