Unlike the higher echelons of the organization, Ishihara Aoi had a very ordinary background, having been born in a small mountain village in the Nara Prefecture of Yingzhou.
As a child, she lived a simple and happy life like any other villager until, at the age of eight, chance led her to be taken in and groomed by an assassin organization known as "Phantom" based in Yingzhou.
To sever Ishihara Aoi's emotional ties, the assassin organization executed all 139 people in her village right before her eyes, including her parents, elder brother, and younger sister.
Keep in mind, at that time, Ishihara Aoi was only eight years old!
Watching her beloved parents and brother die before her, Ishihara Aoi's psychological defenses collapsed in an instant. She screamed desperately, pleading with the assassin organization to spare her sister's life, the only family she had left in the world.
She even knelt before the leader, kissing the person's shoes.
