Biography
Masumi was born into the Niijima Clan, a family serving Tokyo's supernatural elite for centuries. She did not "awaken" in a flash of light but through years of grueling discipline, memorizing meridian charts and protection wards alongside her modern nursing studies. By the 1980s, she was a vital asset, balancing her day job at a police hospital with her nightly duties tending to the wounds of the city's Kikon-jin. She served as a sanctuary in a world of hunters until her death.
