Ghostly Gardener?

...or ghostly swordfighter?

That's the question that will come into the mind of many who have known Youmu Konpaku, servant to the ghostly princess of Hakugyokurou.

The very thing that makes Youmu ghostly is that she's actually a half-human, half-phantom hybrid - in the sense that her phantom half appears to be a separate entity (but actually isn't), floating around her all the time (yes, I'm talking about that ghostly apparition behind her).

Whether in a swordfight or gardening duty (yes, gardening), she is very handy with her swords; the longer sword, Roukanken, is said to have the power to kill ten spirits in one stroke, while the wakizashi, Hakurouken, has the power to cleave a person's confusion.


And yeah, her nickname, "Myon" (usually the nickname of her phantom half to differentiate it from her), is explained in detail here: [link]
