Personality

Quiet and dedicated, she knows her purpose; to be Bayushi Houten's shadow, to ensure no harm ever comes to him.

Background

Early on her feelings for Houten were apparent, being born one minute after him has lead a few to believe that she loved him in a past life and followed him through reincarnation to be by his side.

With the training they provided, and the abilities taught to her by her mother, she could fulfill her goal of protecting the only man she will ever care for.

Special Abilities

Path of Shadows Unlike most people in Rokugani, is actually trained in the use of ninjitsu weapons, and does not feel a loss of honor when using skills that are deemed "unfit" for one to know, provided they are used for...the right reasons.
Strike from Darkness Learning to hit an enemy is one thing, learning how to take full advantage of an enemy who hasn't seen you is another. When striking an opponent who is unaware of her presence, she knows how to make it hurt.
Steel within Silk Her mastery over sneak attacking and use of ninjitsu weapons are such that she is able to strike quickly and efficiently with them.
Whisper of Steel With this technique, she may strike at her opponent while remaining hidden among concealment
The Final Silence By going all out and giving everything she has, she can make one single deadly attack that can critically injure an opponent.

Powers & Merits

Shadowspawn Inherited from her mother who had been touched by a being known as "The Lying Darkness" she has gained the following abilities. Whether this is the extent of her abilities or merely the ones she's learned how to use is unknown

• Shadow Sense - The ability to detect and see through nearby shadows
  
• Shadow Step - Can step into a shadow and come out from one she has seen through/detected via Shadow Sense. This power is not usable during combat as it requires to much concentration to be effective.
