Himiko is the first and last queen

Himiko is the first and last queen of the island, as her soul is passed through generations. Himiko chooses to "adopt" certain females in different communities to live with her in luxury, dubbing them "Daughters of the Sun", never to want for anything again. This is considered the greatest of honours, which will raise the chosen family to the height of Yamatai society. However, there is a sinister twist. She will choose one to participate in a ceremony, when the Sun Queen becomes old, where her soul will be transferred into the chosen priestess, therefore extending the Queen's lifespan and rule.
