In My Field of Paper Flowers

Tonomura Haruhi, aka "Doku" from my original web manga in-the-works "The Legend of Kyotaro Ayashi"

Doku is a sun-blind, one-armed contortionist archer and master swordsman/samurai. His name translates to 'oison' in Japanese. Doku's real name, 'Haruhi' was given to him by his mother, who was completely blind. At the time of his birth, Doku's mother thought he was female. She raised him as a girl.

Doku's dark, ghostly appearance comes from lack of sleep. When he was 8, Doku's mother and older brother were killed by wolves while he was asleep, and he was mauled shortly after, losing his arm. Since that day he has been unable to sleep, in fear that his friends will be killed while his attention is turned away.

Title inspired by the song "Imaginary" by Evanessence.
