Artistic Forces/Yami Musume

The Yami Musume is one of the factions of Artistic Forces.

Name
As the name of this faction suggests, Yami Musume (Kanji: 闇娘, Hiragana: やみむすめ) translates to "Dark Girl" in Japanese, and is fitted to have yanderes in its membership. It is also a combination of two Japanese terms: Yami (闇), which translates to "darkness" or "dark", and Musume (娘) means "daughter", but it may apply to "girl" by definition in an etymological sense.

Description
A shadowy, mysterious all-female paramilitary faction known as the Yami Musume have forgotten their honorable ways and have resorted to the ties of darkness, Yandere, mind control, and anything they devoted for, including their only goals: to purportedly purge the world of sin and corruption, and spread a new morality to everyday life by conquering the world. Unlike Josei Guntai, their counterpart that always disdain the traits of Yandere, but instead they have learned their ways to employ its use of stealthy stalking, cerebral psychic powers, poisonous and unconventional weapons, and other forms of deadly fighting arts and devious military tactics that inspire those of the Imperial Japan, such as Kamikazes or suicide bombers, in order to uphold innovation towards killing efficiency. Even though the Josei Guntai knew how to use military weapons, except the unconventional ones, it was the Yami Musume which uncovered its secrets. Their factional membership consists of Sukeban, Bosozoku, Yanderes, irregular militias, a fanatical Japanese cult, various Yakuza-esque girls and a renegade Japanese military offshoot they certainly hired, including former staff of the JSDF. On the other hand, they show no fear and no remorse to those who really are against their will, including sinful people, and their single-minded devotion for the formation of a new morality to the world gives them protection against their foes who have been sent to destroy.

Sub-factions
The Yami Musume has only one sub-faction, which is a psychic branch of the Kuki Network.

Kuki Network
Consisting of yanderes who managed to suppress their murderous intent, and therefore have an easier time appearing averagely "normal", the Kuki Network uses subtle psionic powers, mainly influencing the mind from making them harder to detect to gaslighting their targets, giving them greater intelligence gathering ability and debuff capacity, allowing them to constantly stalk where their foe is and plan two steps ahead, waiting for the right moment to kill.

Trivia

 * Yami Musume is factionally influenced by Abyssal Fleet from Kantai Collection, Yandere, Bosozoku, Sukeban, Yakuza, Imperial Japanese Armed Forces, Sisters Repentia from Warhammer 40k, House Escher from Necromunda, Yuri from Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, and Epsilon from Mental Omega.
 * Yami Musume is one of the only two factions with flowers in their factional emblems, the other is the Josei Guntai.
 * Black lotus, also called Kokuren or Kurobasu (黒蓮), is a factional emblem of the Yami Musume that symbolizes darkness, death, sophistication, power, authority, and rebellion much like the Imperial Japanese Military did during Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II.
 * Yami Musume is one of the 3 factions whose factional personnel are all-female only. However, these factions are all monolingual, with Japanese as their officially factional language, as well as some factions, like the U.S.S.D.A. or A.D.A, with English as their dominantly official language.
 * The goals of purging the world of sin and establishing a new morality across the world are directly inspired by those of the Sisters Repentia from Warhammer 40k, the Rabu from Carrier Air Wing, and the Imperial Japan's politically imperialistic, militaristic and nationalistic slogan Hakkou ichiu ("eight crown cords, one roof", i.e. "all the world under one roof"), which was divinely and rightfully destined to "unify the eight corners of the world" and adopt expansionist policies to establish a continental dominion over Asia and the Pacific. In fact, this Japanese slogan was popularized in a speech by Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe on January 8, 1940, and became prominent from the Second Sino-Japanese War to the Second World War.
 * Just like the Nazis in Europe as well as the rest of the Axis Powers, this inspiration of the Yami Musume was also infamous that the Empire of Japan, especially the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy, had atrociously committed heinous war crimes as well as crimes against humanity and other wartime atrocities during the imperial expansion in China, the Second Sino-Japanese War, and World War II, most notably the Mukden Incident, which led to the establishment of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo, the Nanjing Massacre, Sook Ching, the Bataan Death March, and the Attack on Pearl Harbor. These atrocities are estimated and ranged from 3 to 14 million through mass starvation, massacre, unethical human experimentation, and slavery, and are subjected to the war crime tribunals after the war.
