“	I don't know about desires or whatever, I just want to help Shin fulfill his dream.	”
—To Gai Mou, the Raging Bull.

Ka Ryo Ten is a Strategist of the Qin Military and the Head Strategist in the Hi Shin Unit.

She is the adoptive younger sister of Ri Shin after the two grew close as they fought together as comrades-in-arms for years. And the one of the last descendants of the Kyuumei Tribe, a large mountain tribe that was destroyed in a war with a young Yo Tan Wa and her army decades ago.

In her childhood, Ka Ryo Ten was originally a lookout for the local thugs and cutthroat outlaws of Kokuhi Village after her grandfather passed away and initially an enemy in Shin's mission of reaching a location near the village. However, she assisted both Shin and Ei Sei in their escape as she saw the chance of gaining riches and rewards from the Qin king as they became embroiled in the young king's battle for his throne during his half brother's rebellion.

After the rebellion was put down with Sei Kyou's defeat, Ka Ryo Ten found herself a form of peace for the first time in her life but realized that she wasn't looking for peace but rather to escape her loneliness in wanting to fight alongside Shin, Sei, and the others as they were moving forward with their individual goals. Lacking talent for martial arts and combat, Ka Ryo Ten decided to become a Strategist and was able to become one of the best strategists in the Qin Military despite her young age and relatively inexperienced in the military.

Ka Ryo Ten has become famous across the Warring States for her incredible prowess as the Hi Shin Unit's Strategist with her tactical abilities being one of the central strengths of the unit.

Appearance

When first introduced, Ka Ryo Ten was a little girl with blue eyes and short hair, which gave her a tomboyish appearance. This was enough for Shin and others to mistake her for a boy. After the Sanyou campaign, she grew taller and her hair had grown longer with her overall appearance becoming much more feminine and mature which evident that was a girl with the Hi Shin Unit soldiers pointed out her obvious gender to Shin, who still believed her to be a boy.

After the Coalition War, Ka Ryo Ten's hair grew to shoulder length, and she had become more mature looking, well-endowed, and beautiful.

For clothing, Ka Ryo Ten wore a poncho made out of a straw to hide her gender as a child. Underneath this, she wore a tunic with a zigzag collar and a small curate of chainmail over her clothes to protect herself. She also wore bandages on her feet and legs. By the time Ka Ryo Ten meets the Hi Shin Unit, she wears a straw yellow tunic with zigzag hemlines. She also wears two armbands with the same pattern and brown boots.

The only consistent appearance she maintains throughout the series are two strands of hair sticking out from the top of her head and her Kyuumei owl mask connected to her straw poncho.

When she joined the Hi Shin Unit, she received the soldier Den Kou as an aide, who is always seen next to her on the battlefield. As the Hi Shin Unit became a 5000-Man Unit, she then started wearing a cape.

Personality

Ka Ryo Ten is a survival genius to have survived for so long in her childhood without relatives since she was orphaned at a young age of five. She is an incredibly inquisitive young woman armed with keen perceptive fit her due to her former rough lifestyle. She aspires to be a world-renowned strategist.

From living with the plain's folk for such a long time, Ka Ryo Ten doesn't really consider herself a mountain person anymore and does not think she would be able to fit in if she were ever able to find her relatives.

Goals

1. To help Shin fulfill his dream and achieve happiness with him.

Ka Ryo Ten is the Hi Shin Unit's head strategist and equally incredibly adept in this role. She is shown to have great memory with extremely good eyesight, being able to make out the words on the Zhao army's flags while being positioned a number of miles away. 

Physical Abilities

Endurance: Ka Ryo Ten, while not immense as Shin or Sei's, is able to endure nail biting forms of pain with her tenacity being over 95. As child, she was able take the occasional beating from the thugs of Kokuhei village and survived a stab wound from one of Sei Kyou's officials. She still possesses this tolerance as she took abuse from the enrage Wei soldiers of the Gai Mou Army during her imprisonment, and withstood arrow wounds from Kin Mou's killing detachment as she used her hand to block a kill shot meant for her head.

Blowgun Proficiency: Ka Ryo Ten, seeing that she lacked a weapon, retrieved a blowgun from the assassin, Muta after his defeat. The "dying' assassin also give her his numbing darts. She was somewhat awkward with it at first but quickly got used to it as she helped defend Shin in his attempt to open the Crimson Turtle Gate when she shot a rebel soldier in the eye, which was in parts luck, wounded one of Sei Kyou's officials, and stopped Ketsu Shi in his attempted escape that give Bajio and Shunmen enough time to slay the Chancellor.

Leadership

Ka Ryo Ten is a proven leader with a bold approach to any problems that she faces on the battlefield. In her first encounter with the Hi Shin soldiers, she showed her cool-headed resolve as she shrugged off Den Ei's confrontation while putting down any thoughts of her being an ordinary woman. She frequently enters the fray of battle at crucial times to help rally and reorganize forces, making herself a lynchpin in the Hi Shin Unit's leadership to allow the unit to utilize the full capacity of its strength beyond her role as a tactician.

Tactical Abilities

Master Strategist: Ka Ryo Ten was educated and trained in the field of strategical theories, field tactics, military formations, formal strategies, and etc. by Shou Hei Kun, Kai Oku, and Mou Ki after years attending the Strategist Academy of Qin. While training at the Strategist Academy, her skill was already evident as she was said to be on par with Mou Ki, the top student at the time, in tabletop simulations and aside from Mou Ten, she is one of only two people to received special recognition as a strategist from their former teacher.

Ka Ryo Ten has proven herself to be a very capable strategist with both unorthodox tactics and stranded strategies while fighting on the battlefield. In her first real battle with the Hi Shin Unit, she was able to outplay the famed Wei strategist Hyou Ki by successfully reconsolidated the unit's scattered forces, sneaked past his search units, perfectly utilized a Bottle Neck terrain in order to entrap the Wei cavalry which led to the taking one of their commander's heads, focused their attention on Shin as she used him as bait and captured their HQ with the Kaku Bi Unit. After which, she secured an escape for herself and attendees. This being all from her first real experience on a battlefield. And as for the rest of her beginning tenure as their strategist, Ka Ryo Ten showed her ability of conducting warfare and fighting on a regional scale as she devised a strategy that targeted not only immediate enemies but all of their forces as a whole through the use of allied forces' positions and assistance.

Her strength as a tactician had completely transformed the Hi Shin Unit into a proper independent marauding military force as they obtain a new level of power that they didn't possess even before with Kyou Kai. And as the Hi Shin Unit's strength grew so did Ka Ryo Ten's ability as a strategist. During the first day of the Battle of Kankoku Pass, she was able to reorganize the shattered Hi Shin soldiers while spreading out so that they could better search for their comrades and move forward to Shin's position as they reinforced his attack against Man Goku, and stopped the Zhao general's army from retreating by using the So Sui Unit to stall them.

And one of her greatest accomplishments was during the Battle of Kokuyou Hills as she personally created the "Hi Shin Unit-Style River Bridge" in which she concentrated units at two separate hollow ends with the center composed of Shin, the Hi Hyou Unit, and the Kaku Bi Unit and her own unit composed of the Hi Shin veterans in the second.

However, the entirety of the two secondary attacks acted as a diversion to distract the Ba Tei Army and his forces in order for a small unit led by En to cross the deep, sheer rushing part of the river on a third opening without any resistance. This plan was so incredibly unprecedented that Ba Tei, the enemy Zhao general, stood in sheer shock that they were able to conquer the river that considered uncrossable by Ryuu Tou and a feat view as near impossible by her former teacher. Aside from her use of standard formal strategies, she is also able to fully utilize the quality of surprise attack tactics that call for brute force and overwhelming speed

Military Formations: Ka Ryo Ten is a well versed and an expert master in the usage of military formations, having once used a unique variant of Wedge Formation that utilized shield troops on boats in order to cross the Yangtze River to secure its shore and showcased her masterful use of them numerous times, like when she used the Hourai after catching a glimpse of seeing her former teacher, Shou Hei Kun, out on the battlefield, instructed the Hi Shin Unit to utilize their size as an 8000-Man combined unit to place psychological pressure against the Gyou'un Army during the Battle at Shukai Plains, and used the Drill Formation in cooperation with Gaku Ka Army in order to escape Ri Boku's cage during the Battle of Gian.

Weaknesses

Ka Ryo Ten has little to no martial prowess as she lacks any immense physical strength or combative techniques like Shin or Kyou Kai. She was told by Kyou Kai that she lacked the necessity body chemistry needed in learning Clan Shiyuu's swordsmanship and martial arts, indicating that she lacked any talent in martial arts and since becoming a Strategist, she usually distances herself from the combat, but she has thrown herself into the thick of fighting numerous times which has nearly gotten her killed in over several battles. Ka Ryo Ten also tends to get work up over smaller details and overlooks the bigger picture as she fell for a childish plan created by Ri Boku.
