princess sara

The daughter of the feudal warlord Oda Nobunaga, Princess Sara is a skilled ninja. However, due to her father's actions, many ninja clans view her as an enemy, and assassins are frequently dispatched to eliminate her. She is protected by her loyal retainer, Rikimaru, who is also a ninja. It is known that Sara climbs three mountains daily to maintain her fitness. Once, she pretended to marry Shimo-no-Hanzō to save Iga from an assault by her father, and she continues to be an ally of the Iga ninjas.

Although she dislikes Kami-no-Hanzō's flirtatious behavior, her love for him is so profound that she would rather die than live without him. Eventually, she becomes pregnant with Kami-no-Hanzō's child. Her daughter, Kaguya, is born after an attack on Iga, with Usagi assisting in the delivery.
