xxxxxxx]Set in the the feudal times of Japan, the idea of the west mixing with the east just became current. As a way to get the Japanese to trust them, England sent an ambassador over to discuss treaties and trades. The man they sent over was a greedy governor who simply wanted more power. He is demanding over anything and everything and possessive over things that are his. Along with his crew he also brought over his fiancee. Unlike him his fiancee was kind and came over to learn more about the new culture. Back in England she was poor but was the most beautiful girl around. The governor made her his fiancee by offering her family a large amount of gold and land. Out of obligation she agreed to his marriage.
xxxxxxx]When in Japan, all the Japanese treated the foreigners with respect; however, there were still many who opposed the idea of assimilation. Because of the threat of those who opposed their presence, a body guard was given to both the governor and his fiancee. The bodyguard assigned to the fiancee was a young samurai. When the two met it was love at first sight, and as the two got to know each other they fell deeper and deeper in love with one another. However the governor is not very kind with sharing or giving up his possessions. The girl also cannot leave the man for her family's well being depended on the money he provided them. Adultery at that time was also considered a crime and the punishment was brutal. What will the two do? Will they find a way to make this work or will everything come crumbling down?
xxxxxxx]The story will start the day the ship landed on the shores of Japan and the two met for the first time.

ღ Bio: Alice was born into a poor farming family. She is the third child out of seven children. When she was at the age of ten there was a widespread famine causing her and her family to lose the farm. She has two older brothers, three younger sisters, and one younger brother. After the famine the family relocated to the city hoping to find jobs.
In the city her father, mother, and two older brothers took jobs at various places causing her to care for her four little siblings taking in other children as a job. When she wasn't caring the children she often found herself sneaking into schools or going to the public library. For some reason she always had a love for knowledge and a curiosity for the world. Her dream was to become a teacher, but due to her family's economic situation she could not afford the education to prove her credentials. As she continued to grow older she became more and more beautiful.
Three years after moving to the city, when she was the age of eleven her brother died in a factory accident, causing her and her family to be devastated. The death of her brother put more of a strain in their economical situation. Because they lost a source of income Alice was sent to work as a maid for the old governor. The old man was kind to her and paid her a good amount of money, but he was dying. The bliss of having a good employer ended when the old man's son came back and the old man died. The son, the new governor, had set his eyes on her since day one and after three years gave her the deal of a lifetime. If she agreed to marry him then he would help her care for her family, economically. Even though she did not love him, nor like him, she took the deal for the sake of her family. She was to wed him the day she turned eighteen.
One day a royal messenger came to the household of the governor offering him a position as a diplomat in the nation of Japan. Out of greed the governor took the deal and took Alice with him, separating her from her family. Because she wanted her family to be well taken care of she followed him to Japan hoping to one day return to her beloved family.
ღ Personality: Alice is very filial and would do anything for her family. She is kind and sweet to everyone around her. Being born as a poor girl she had become accustomed to letting go of her pride and conforming to the orders of everyone.
