Trump -      Kei is wearing a deep blue kimono with white cherry blossoms delicately trailing the hemline. Her obi is silver-gray, threaded with glittering blue embroidery. She sits casually upon what at first glance seems to be a cairn of gray stone; on closer inspection, each stone is revealed to be a fanged or otherwise monstrous skull. Two gleaming katanas cross her lap like long-stemmed flowers. The ground is parched soil, cracked for want of water; the sky is a thin blue, suggesting an arid heat. Kei's hair is unbound and trailing over one shoulder, the ends clinging to skulls below her knees. A black egret rises aloft above her left  shoulder, looking like a dark soul climbing on the wind.
