[Mirumoto Shippai]

Name: Mirumoto Shippai
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Clan: Dragon
Role: 6th Kaisha Commander
Martial Status: Single
Eyes: Black
Hair: Black
Height: 5' 5"
Build: Strong

Description:

If Tekkan is a grand temple atop a tall mountain, Shippai is a shrine stone tossed upon an unscalable cliff. He delegates all his duties upon his subordinates, and spends as much as his time in solitude as he can. Of course, much is expected of Shippai. His father is a well respected officer in the Dragon armies, his grandfather was a legendary kenjutsu master. If one looks farther back in his heritage, they would even note that one of the younger Hantei children wed into his line. While his posting in this campaign is not particularly prestigious, his family hopes this will be where he first distinguishes himself.

[Otomo Hana]

Name: Otomo Hana
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Clan: See the Chrysanthemum?
Role: 6th Kaisha
Martial Status: Single
Eyes: Black
Hair: Black
Height: 5'
Build: Graceful

A late addition to the 42th Legion, Otomo Hana's most recent posting was at Pale Oak Castle. She was widely regarded as a darling of the court, captivating many her with charm and beauty. In fact, she had a pair of rival suitors, from the Lion and the Unicorn clan, spend a great deal of time last winter vying for her favor. Tragically, the blooms of romance were cut short as the two rival suitors engaged in a shi duel over a matter of honor. The resulting kharmic strike doomed them both, as the Heavens themselves ruled neither should have her.

It was felt some time away from the scene of such a tragedy would be good for her, so her family arranged a posting for her in the 42nd, where she is joined by her two closest confidants from childhood, Isawa Hana and Kakita Hana.

[Isawa Hana]

Name: Isawa Hana
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Clan: Is it not obvious?
Role: 6th Kaisha
Martial Status: Single
Eyes: Black
Hair: Black
Height: 4' 11"
Build: Petite

A late addition to the 42th Legion, Isawa Hana's most recent posting was at Pale Oak Castle. Despite her relative young age, she demonstrated her superior education in a myriad of ways. She also led many discussions on the imbalance of the elements in the Empire, arguing very strongly against the Unicorn and their strange gaijin magic.

Her presence within the 42nd Legion was requested by Otomo Hana, and her family was happy to arrange the appointment so the two could remain together.

[Kakita Hana]

Name: Kakita Hana
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Clan: Crane
Role: 6th Kaisha
Martial Status: Single
Eyes: Black
Hair: Black
Height: 5' 1"
Build: Athletic

A late addition to the 42th Legion, Kakita Hana's most recent posting was at Pale Oak Castle. She spent most of the last court demonstrating the superiority of the Kakita style of dueling with spars in the dojo. She was allowed to serve as one of the witness for the fated shi duel between Otomo Hana's suitors, though she was clearly less than impressed that it ended in a kharmic strike. She does not dispute the result...but felt it was just.....just a failure of either duelist to distinguish themselves.
