Background
A swordsman from the early Edo period, famous for being the greatest master of the blade in Japanese history.
Musashi is said to have created "Niten Ichiryu," and was a master of the two-sword style that used both short and long swords.
...Or so it was thought, but it seems that this Musashi is different from the one known in the history textbooks.
"Eh? Musashi's a guy in this world? And super-famous? Wow!"
As you can see, this Musashi is a very casual person who doesn't put on airs.
She's not interested in victory nor honor, drinks way too much, is exceptionally greedy, and easily swayed by offers of free food.
But those who fight her all say this before they are defeated:
...The flower at the apex of heaven is splendid in color.
Her blade reaches the heights of true nothingness.

Height/Weight: 167cm, 56kg
Origin: History
Region: Japan
Alignment: Chaotic-Good
Sub-Attribute: Human
Gender: Female
"My formal name? Shinmen Musashi-no-Kami Fujiwara-no-Harunobu. But it's easier to just say Musashi."
Profile 2
In proper history, she was born in Oohara, Sakushu, which is now part of Mimasaka City in Okayama Prefecture. She was born in the year 1584.
Her father was an instructor of martial arts who served the Shinmen clan, the lords of Takayama castle. The Shinmen clan granted him the right to use the Shinmen name, and so he called himself Shinmen Munisai. Shinmen Munisai had a dojo that taught the use of the jitte in Miyamoto village in Yoshinosato, which became Musashi's homeland. For this reason, she calls herself Miyamoto Musashi.
She would later go on to leave behind many legends, especially during her twenties, when she fought many other warriors. To this day, these great duels are a staple of entertainment.
However, the truth about most of the episodes that took place during the decade of her twenties is unknown, and many of them are believed to be fictional.
Profile 3
A female swordmaster who is bright, cheerful, and dignified, yet vibrant.
She always has a grin on her face like she's in total control, but she does not look down on her opponents. She is just enjoying life.
She just laughs at most of life's problems, but deep down, she is a woman who strives to master the path of the blade. For this reason, she can be restrained and tough on others when it comes to taking lives.
That aside, she falls in love easily, and loves it when people rely on her.
She also loves compliments and is easily swayed by flattery. A woman who loves a good fight, she has a strong sense of justice, but never boasts about it.
She's normally an easygoing wanderer, but in the face of a one-sided slaughter, someone who is toying with people's pride or beliefs for entertainment, or in the case of stealing her food when she is hungry, she becomes an unstoppable foe.
Profile 4
Heavenly Eye: A
Heavenly Eye is said to be the power to achieve one's goals. It's an act of resolve to do something, then putting your entire body and soul into achieving it. One could say that it's an act of putting your entire self and existence into your gaze, and projecting it towards your goal.
In Musashi's case, Heavenly Eye is used only to wield her blade on the spot. For example, if she decides to cut her opponent's right arm, she'll do whatever it takes to sever it. Her strike will be optimized, bending time and space toward achieving this goal.
The power to narrow down all potential options for achieving a goal into a single eventuality. It could also be described as a very special type of Mystic Eye, which narrows an infinite number of possible futures down to only one.
Profile 5
Emptiness: A
The highest level a swordsman can attain. The ultimate mental state.
Corresponds to Suigetsu of Yagyu Shinkageryu.
To become nothingness makes her invincible. Only a swordsman who has reached the infinite mental state can achieve this.
The Book of Five Rings:
A book written by Musashi just before her death, detailing the techniques she had mastered in life and the mental states she had achieved. It is divided into five books: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void, and is the culmination of everything that is Musashi.
The Book of Earth serves as a general introduction to the Niten Ichiryu. The Book of Water introduces specific techniques. The Book of Fire speaks of the art of war in terms of strategy and tactics. The Book of Wind discusses the flaws with certain tactics and techniques, so that a fundamental understanding of Niten Ichiryu will appear of its own volition in the reader's mind.
The final Book of the Void contains Musashi's understanding of the concept of emptiness, written as a technique called "contrast."

『Six Paths, Five Rings: Kurikara Divine Blade』
Rank: A
NP Type: Anti-Personnel
Range: 2 - 20
Maximum Target: 1
Roaring Sword.
As Musashi calmly stands wielding two swords, the swords' force takes on the appearance of a Nioh guardian slashing with earth, water, fire, and wind. Musashi then unleashes her ultimate "sword of zero" attack, derived from the concept of the void that she has yet to completely master. It may be labeled as an Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm, but it's essentially an Anti-Karmic Noble Phantasm.
It's the sword of the Buddha that can cleave anything in two with a single stroke, be it the unnatural, karma, curses, or even misfortune.
"Though the target is reduced to its absolute minimum, to a state where something cannot be reduced any further, 'something' still remains."
The pinnacle said to be unparalleled...
The concept of zero that is believed to exist beyond nothingness.
The flower at the apex of heaven continues to seek that state.
