"Come, investigate loneliness! a solitary leaf clings to the Kiri tree." ― Matsuo Basho
Jingu, of the House Nakano, named after a 3rd Century A.D. Japanese (Earth) Empress. Orphaned as an infant, Jingu was adpoted by an Achuran monastery and schooled in the mysteries of the Universe. As a child, she shied away from her schoolmates - preferring to keep her own company, playing with the stray cats that ruled the back alleys and bolt-holes of the local village.
