Shippu no Reon

Shippu no Reon (疾風の鈴音) is a character introduced in Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits: Bushidou Retsuden as the mandatory party character in the second chapter of the game. Although developers jokingly state that Reon's gender is unknown, various hints throughout the game indicate that Reon is female. Originally, her older design was a scrapped boss character for the first chapter of the game. When the director pressed for an original hero, the design continued its development to create Reon. Her ninja-like design was prevalent even back in her planning stages. Her prototype name was "Kaze no Tobimaru".

Reon is voiced by Urara Takano.

Story
As the last member of her clan, Reon is dedicated to fulfilling her family's mission to eradicate Mizuki. Seeing as she is the only one who can destroy the demon's evil bells, Reon joins the hero's party as its last -or second- member.

Personality
Reon is always serious and blunt, acting as the analytical voice of reason in complicated situations. Although she is initially cold to the party, Reon softens to be a caring and generous spirit. Occasionally, she laments her ineptitude to cope with her sex but finds encouragement from others to persevere her mission.
