Biography
Lady Kiyomizu, or "Kiyo" to William Laurence, is a smaller Sui Riu dragon. She is called a "river dragon" by Junichiro, as Kiyo is much smaller than her oceanic counterparts due to living in a river. She is as big as a Yellow Reaper. She is the guardian of a temple near the Chikugo River that is obviously just for her to live in. She likes alcohol and poetry of all countries. She is very friendly and open-minded and says clearly what she thinks. As a river dragon she stands above the law and so she doesn't know what the law means for other people.
First mistaken to be a male dragon by Laurence, Kiyo discovers Laurence and Junichiro while both men are on the run from Japanese forces. Inviting them into the temple where she resides, Kiyo fed Laurence and Junichiro in exchange for English poetry by Shakespeare, recited by Laurence and translated into Japanese by Junichiro.
After speaking Japanese to Junichiro, and then to Laurence in Chinese, Kiyo knows at least both Japanese and Chinese. Kiyo is around half a century old, so she is born around 1760. Kiyo also seems highly interested in Dutch and English poetry, appearing to sound "longing" when she asked Laurence if he was a Dutchman. Kiyo admires the Europeans for their ships and their inventions. She doesn't like violence but sometimes her behavior is a bit naiv.
