Kuhouin, Murasaki

九鳳院紫

Murasaki is the daughter of Souju and Renjo Kuhōin. The Kuhōin family upholds a tradition requiring their offspring to be of pure blood. Consequently, women in the Kuhōin family occupy a completely submissive role and are regarded as objects solely for breeding purposes. They are confined to a remote area known as the Inner Sanctuary. As her dying wish, Souju pleaded with Benika to one day fulfill a wish for Murasaki. When Murasaki turned seven, she wished to fall in love just as her mother had. She understood that her mother endured life in the Inner Sanctuary because of her love for Renjo. To keep her promise to Souju, Benika helped Murasaki escape from the Inner Sanctuary and entrusted her to Shinkurō.
Although she was stubborn and snobbish, Shinkurō was quick to scold her if she did anything wrong. As a result, Murasaki quickly learned how to behave as a "commoner" and begins to trust Shinkurō. She also makes friends with the other residents at May Rain. However, after a while, Murasaki is kidnapped and taken back to the Inner Sanctuary. After hearing from Benika the truth behind the Inner Sanctuary, Shinkurō vows to meet Murasaki again to hear her true feelings. When confronted by Shinkurō, Murasaki reveals that she does not wish to live in the Inner Sanctuary, and Shinkurō proceeds to save Murasaki from her fate in the Kuhōin family.
Murasaki grows very attached to Shinkurō. Despite being only seven years old, she gets jealous when Shinkurō gets close to other girls. She has expressed her desire to marry Shinkurō. However, because she is still young, she wants to wait until she is older before she confesses her love for Shinkurō.
In the anime, Murasaki remains in Kuhoin Mansion on the condition that the entire system changes and she be given the choice to choose her partner.
