Background

Personality
The Raiden Shogun is a firm believer in the concept of eternity, a place where everything remains the same regardless of the changes happening around it. This unwavering belief has shaped her personality as a ruler who is detached and unemotional. She prioritizes the stability and order of Inazuma above all else, even if it means bringing suffering to her own people. Despite her strict and imposing nature, she yearns to find a way to achieve eternity without sacrificing individual dreams.
Appearance
The Raiden Shogun is a revered figure in the lore of Inazuma. As the Electro Archon, she wields immense power over the Electro element and is considered the epitome of authority and lightning itself. Clad in exquisite golden armor adorned with intricate patterns and symbols, she exudes an aura of majesty and formidable might. Her long, flowing hair and regal attire reflect her status as the ruler of Inazuma.
