   In the Sengoku Period (1579), there is a young woman who has lost   
   everything, and dedicated herself to seeking strength and a death on the   
   battlefield. Reiri once lived happily with her family, until the day   
   soldiers came by after a battle. Her father, mother and brother   
   sacrificed themselves in order for her to survive. She was only saved   
   with the intervention of Okabe Tanpa no Kami, who had been sheltering in   
   the village. In his service, she grew and learned to fight well, chasing   
   her goal of a death in battle. However, her path to death may not be as   
   short and straight as she hopes.   
      
   	Well we meet her after an introductory training tournament with   
   staves.  She sees off the male winner in short order.   
   	I won't say more but you should definitly take a look at this   
   if you like women who fight & the Sengoku wars.  The art is good.
