MASTERY ABILITIES Iaijutsu rank 3 - Readying a Katana is a free action rather than a simple action.
ADVANTAGES Sensation (3 pts) - Following in her grandfather's footsteps, Kaichiyo has always been skilled at enrapturing a crowd under any circumstances. Whenever she would use a Perform skill she does not possess, she is considered to have 1 rank in it.
Social Position (6 pts) - Being the daughter of a clan champion is no small matter. She gains +1 Status Rank.
Voice (3 pts) - Part of her crowd-enrapturing talents is by far her voice, pleasing in virtually every respect. She gains +1k1 on any Perform skill roll that utilizes her voice.
DISADVANTAGESBad Fortune: Unknown Enemy (3 pts) - Someone somewhere in another clan hates her and wishes to see her dead. She has no idea who or why.
Compulsion: Performance (2 pts) - In stressful situations, such as combat, sailing in a storm, or a direct social confrontation, Kaichiyo is hopelessly compelled to Perform, even if it might be seen as inappropriate, distracting, or disrespectful; making light of the situation to cope with the stress. She must make a Willpower roll of TN15 to overcome this compulsion.
Idealistic (2 pts) - She adheres closely to the code of Bushido and has a hopelessly naïve view of the world and how it works. Her standards are impossible for many heroes to meet, much less herself, and thus when she loses honor the loss is increased by 1 point due to her own self-loathing.
Overconfident (3 pts) - She possesses a grossly inflated view of her own prowess, and is often incapable of recognizing when a situation is beyond her ability to handle. When outnumbered or facing a clearly superior enemy she must succeed at a Perception TN20 roll in order to recognize the situation for what it is and leave instead of engaging.
TECHNIQUES, SPELLS, KATA, KIHO, SHADOWLANDS POWERS School TechniquesHIMURA BUSHI RANK 1: Unquiet Ocean - Trained to be quick to action when honor and duty demands it, she adds her Honor to all initiative rolls.

DESCRIPTION Decorated pale and fair by her Kitsuki and Seppun origins, and turned tan from days of hard work and hard outdoor leisure, Kaichiyo is a comely samurai. Pretty, but not particularly beautiful; fit, but not particularly athletic. Aside from the charismatic flow of Air around her, her physical traits can be considered, by and large, "normal". She stands an average 5'4" and sports a sharp pair of dark brown eyes coupled by equally dark hair. What truly makes her stand out, however, is her mind. A golden voice, silver tongue, and bronze will, all forged with wit as sharp as steel. The young Himura heiress is not ashamed in the least to call herself a Bard, and is wholly eager to continue learning the trade. She loves an enraptured audience above all else, but isn't afraid to get her hands dirty - especially to help the clan. A definite type A personality, but tempered by the wisdom of her grandfather's memory and the self-imposed code of perfection that has come to mean for her. Despite what others may say, however, she has never truly felt the weight of her mother's shadow.

Shiro Himura;
Cherry blossoms fill the air
The song child is born.
Perfect tides bring great harvest
Empress is pleased, Kraken grows.
High expectations
Champion daughter grows strong;
Together alone.
Time freezes as life passes
Friends and honor, Kraken grows.
Divine Ruler dies;
Enemies grow in vengeance
Warm tides bring great change.
Song child sings with heart and sword,
A new generation blooms.
