Elegy of the Blade Dancer

A land where blood waters the trees remembers
The tale ancestral voices carry across hill and valley and sea
Winds whispering of _{a helpless girl an insurgent a bulwark} a hero
The graceful whirling twirling swirling Blade Dancer

Where graves outnumber the farms and mills and wells and hills
A land sundered and burnt and bled
Where she stood _{and danced} and fought _{and danced} and triumphed
Where farmer and carpenter and rancher and beggar and child
Stood with her in defiance

The winds still at her partner's approach
Steps heavy, arms rigid, mind closed
The motions jerk - 
                       and lurch - 
    and falter - 
and halt. A clever turn and twist and twirl of hip and shoulder and arm
                                                                                                            ^{blade and blade and blade}
Ends the dance all too soon

And so stood the protector of the land
Where she had lost had found had bled had killed
And stood firm until she stood there no more
The dancer cannot stand still
                         ^{cannot be complacent cannot be rigid cannot be stagnant}
This one wishes to dance alone

Hey, this is all that I can find. Only related records to it I can find are about some old clan from the east, wiped out centuries ago. Still nothing to do with our girl here, so I got squat. Go through your other sources, see if you can dig anything up on her that the databases won't show me.
