Also my char's giri, duty/lord, is left blank for now as I now wrote in the background his lord will be chosen at the conclusion of topaz tournament (with assumption Akachi earns 5pts from earlier events participate in third day, which automatically grants him full status as an adult and full samurai despite does he win duels or not) where he will participate. Parents are pressured to pick the arranged marriage as well and they are drowning with options and they are going through tough time picking which one to choose (albeit personally their troubled by Soshi clan offer but they must weight cons/pros and calculate can they refuse it anyway honorably, they know girl behind proposal will be upset either way but they worry of Soshi clan elders being upset than girl being is). Perhaps main contesters are Soshi clan and Asahina clan proposals and neither is which Lion would usually favor (traditional Crane despise vs distrust on Scorpion clan).<br/><br/>
