Nobuna_Oda

Nobuna Oda is the general, as well as princess of the Oda clan, and ruler of the Owari Province. She became the leader after the death of her father.
Called a "fool" by her enemies, Nobuna is actually a very bright and talented young woman, with much knowledge of the world.
Her main goal is to unite Japan, and turn the country into a power that is on par with the European nations.

Nobuna is a fairly young woman with a lean frame. She has a heart-shaped face with big brown eyes. Her hair is blond, and quite long, however she usually has it tied up, in a messy fashion with a red ribbon.

She has what many might consider to be a flamboyant fashion sense. She wears a tiger skin wrapped around her waist, over a black hakama with yellow trim at the bottom, and white tabi with zōri. She also wears green-blue coloured haori which she wears over only one shoulder.

Nobuna is very ambitious, and dedicated. She not only wants to conquer and unite Japan, but she is even showing interest in the rest of the world, and starts to respect those who demonstrates knowledge of western culture though mostly from Europe. She seems to be particularly fascinated with European customs, and she sometimes dreams of having someone swear loyalty to her in a European knight style, and says it's "cooler" and "more elegant" (as translated in English).She also seems to have an interest in Matchlocks.

She usually quite friendly and approachable. For a feudal lord in Japan, she usually seems rather easygoing. However, in some cases, she can be very impatient and can also be very violent. She also has a bit of tsundere in her.

Nobuna is noted to have grown up despised and misunderstood by most of her retainers and even her own mother, only an unnamed missionary, her father, have every truly been able to understand the scope of her vision. However, both her father and the missionary later died, which ultimately caused her to become withdrawn, short tempered and impatient with her retainers. Her relationship with her mother seems particularly bad as a result of it she perceives her friends and retainers as family rather than servants and hates to see them quarrel.

She has been friends with Inuchiyo since they were young, valuing her somewhat like a sister.

When her father's health declined her clansmen brought in a number of monks to use rituals and prayers to save him. Naturally the monks knew this wouldn't work and were just trying to get money from them, this enraged Nobuna, who locked them all away and burned their cell down. As a result of this, she hates liars and hypocrites. Though she was prevented from actually killing the monks, it was immediately apparent from then on that she was perceived as a fool who would even oppose the monks of Buddha.

During her father's funeral she noticed that the retainers were plotting against her and citing her brother to be a more fit ruler rather than morning for her father. She ultimately lost her temper and threw her father's ashes on the Buddha statue rather than following tradition, which furthered their opinions.

She has on at least two occasions suppressed her brother's rebellions and spared him due to their mother's wishes, however she eventually noted that she would execute him for good if he rebels against her again and would not be concerned no matter how her mother begged and pleaded.
