Biography
Lady Arikawa is a female dragon of an unknown Japanese breed, compared by William Laurence to the Fleur-de-Nuit.
A Japanese noble of some standing, Lady Arikawa preceded over the interrogation, judgement, and search of William Laurence, and later, Junichiro. Laurence also noted that Lady Arikawa was dressed in "curious, pale green silken dressings" the same color as her eyes, which "coming loose made graceful arcs around its body like sails spilling their wind". However, Lady Arikawa did not carry any men aboard her.
Laurence also noticed that Lady Arikawa seemed to have a smaller dragon attendant, "brilliant yellow beast larger than a Winchester though not up to combat-weight", of an unknown Japanese breed, carried four men, including Matsudaira.
Lady Arikawa could speak both Japanese and Chinese, as observed by Laurence. She also proved quite possessive of Kaneko Hiromasa, her companion, not unlike Temeraire proved of Laurence.
