Kitagawa Taira

Kitagawa Taira (北川萍) was the twin sister of Lord Kitagawa Motomasa, the warmongering chief of Clan Kitagawa. She was the daughter of Kitagawa Tamo and Soma Rei.

Relationships
Taira never knew her mother, as she died giving birth to Taira and her twin brother. Her relationship with her father was often strained as a result of his blaming the children for his wife's death. This instead drove the two siblings to rely upon one another for the affection and consolation that their familial life otherwise lacked, causing the twins to become quite close.

During their youth, many of the children of Hokubu Village would often play together. None did accompany the twins so much as their older cousin Kitagagi Sanekiyo and the close family friends, the brothers Kounna Mitsutake and Mototake.

As they grew older, however, the relationship dynamic between the two twins transformed from an equal partnership to a subordinate one, in which Motomasa began to grow further accustomed to leadership--an aspect that even extended to their fragile familial bond. By the time they reached adulthood, it was clear that Motomasa saw Taira only as a subordinate, not a sister.

Early Life
Taira, along with twin brother Motomasa, were born in Hokubo Village on a spring day when the frosts had not yet cleared, in the 20h Year of the Mountain.

Adulthood
Taira was banished from Hokubu Village as an adult for disobeying her brother's order. It is unknown what happened to her after that.

Death
Due to her banishment, it is unclear how or when Taira died.
