In addition, it is a Hitogata , which is a vague term within the series that means “a doll in the form of a person; a decoration with a missing part; a person who lacks an emotion ”is used to refer to the fact that she cannot smile. Her parents' whereabouts are unknown and she has lived alone with her 90-year-old governess Shā ( シ ャ ー ) and her blind little brother Mataku ( マ タ ク ) in a small log cabin since the royal family was secretly ousted by the political caste . One day a strange boy with memory loss falls through her roof, whom she calls Shiro ( シ ロ ), who is also a Hitogata, but who feels no pain, has a talent for fighting and, as soon as he touches a weapon, falls into a blood frenzy and everything afterwards forgets. Chased by the army in search of a Hitogata item, Ikoro and his company flee to the lower world, where the common people live, to look for clues to a legendary source of heat and light called the sun.
