And that explained Mi'isuka and her father's demotion, the emperor just cannot tolerate the supporter of former emperess Naa'naki and his brother to have a real position among the court, if I get it right, do correct me if that's not the case :)
@The_Nameless Kind of both. Do'naki is Ka'asume's cousin from her Father's side. Ko'tuno (Ka'asume's father, Emperor of Tanjia) had an older brother, who was heir. When his older brother ascended to the throne and succeeded Naa'naki (Ka'asume's grandmother) Ko'tuno challenged him for the throne. Ko'tuno cheated and killed his brother in the fight. When he took the throne, he banished Do'naki. When she grew up, she decided it's be easier to keep her hair short since she's a huntress.
