Fujiwara no Iyozane

Fujiwara no Iyozane (藤原 伊代真 Fujiwara no Iyozane) is an ambitious boatman that wants to become a pirate. Currently, she is serving Taira no Fumikado and wants to become her chief advisor.

Concept
Iyozane is likely based on Fujiwara no Sumitomo, a famous pirate in the Heian era.

Background Information
Apparently Iyozane used to work carrying baggage and letters, but one day strange ferryboat had arrived to the Gloomy Straits and the customers almost disappeared since. Consequently the number of people in this job started to decrease too and Iyozane took the job because she had no choice. She also wanted to be a pirate, but had to give up on her dream.

When Taira no Fumikado travelled to Mugenri in order to escape from assassins, she decided to cross the Gloomy Straits when she met the boatman Iyozane. The latter tried to break the ice and make conversation by telling about her story which concluded with Iyozane playing the flute for her. After that, they learned each other's names and realized that they belonged to enemy families, but at that point it didn't mattered anymore. Fumikado explained that soon a big hole will open in the internal side of Mugenri's barrier, and lots of spirits will enter the barrier. They decided to work together, Fumikado giving her a replica of a youkai tool, the "twig", so Iyozane could be able to control the spirits and guide them to her.

Name
Her full name is Fujiwara no Iyozane (藤原 伊代真). Her last name Fujiwara (藤原, lit. "Wisteria field") is an actual and a common surname used in Japan - it should be noted that while this is one of the evidence which proves the political influence of the Fujiwara Clan, there are some Fujiwaras that aren't related to the Fujiwara Clan.

The characters for Iyozane (伊代真) literally mean "True generation".

Design
Iyozane has short silver-blue hair and eyes of the same color. She wears a brown headband and japanese clothing.
