Cant pass this one up..

How about a semi-mythical historic person? There was a Samurai woman warrior noted in the Tales Of The Heike, Tomoe Gozen. She was the mistress of Lord Kiso, and known for her armor. When fighting with him in shallow waters of Lake Biwa on horseback and Kiso was about to be killed by Taira samurai, Kiso called her to flee. She did not, and instead took the head of Onda no Moroshige, the Taira commander after throwing him across her horse. No one ever knew what happened to her afterwards.

Show up in armor, and throw a few fresh heads in middle of the party.

You can get your armor from: http://www.samurai-store.com

Heads, you can get anywhere, but I have a moderate list to suggest in your area, and across the channel.

Excellent choice Gaius! Though I would not call Tomoe-san mythical, semi or otherwise. I'm not certain she is a fabrication, but perhaps that is just me being romantic. Still, good choice!
