Travel had been far more difficult than normal and his father couldn’t help but be disdainful of the fact he felt he was being forced to suffer through the winter court with the Crab Clan, a fate that seemed to be tantamount to social torture. While parts of the story were indeed true, Doji Shiego's Father suffered from a strange reoccurring madness. He had tried his best to hide his malady, often sneaking off like a wraith to take patrols amongst the peasantry so his madness would be taken out on them. It seemed he was concealing his madness well enough at first. Though he felt guilty for the havoc he caused there was little he could do to stop it without asking someone for assistance and shaming himself. He prowled amongst the peasants and one night came upon another samurai whom was just leaving a tryst with a local peasant girl. In his madness he slayed the Samurai and the girl... and would come to discover that he had been seen. He was overcome with regret for what he had done and fled in the dark of the night, to get away from his pending execution. <br/><br/>In time, Doji Shiego’s father found The lair half frozen and half starved. They nursed him to health and politely told him he would be unable to leave which he accepted easily. He settled in, married, and was able to take control of the madness he endured on full moons to a degree that he believed himself to no longer be dangerous. He became heavily involved in the local court, gained control of the local rice production and an estate was erected befitting members of the Doji line. He soon came to believe the madness was gone from his family son, as he watched his son Shiego grow to manhood without a sign of the malady. Doji Shiego and his father never quite got along well. His Father in time, grew old and spiteful. He waited years to arrange a marriage for his son, and at the end of his time he committed one last act of spite. He arranged his son to a woman he would find absolutely intolerable, a well-trained short spoken Bushi woman. She became Doji Kohaku, and utterly hated him for it and all the implications around such a thing.<br/> <br/>Kohaku birthed their daughter, exactly nine months to the day after their wedding under the blessing of a unusually low hanging full moon Shiego immediately called the girl Tsukino which infuriated Kohaku that she was not consulted so badly that to this day it is rumored she has not spoken to Shiego since. While Kohaku kept up with her training, small hunting trips and missions intending the child to be raised by servants as she felt most noble children in Rokugan were supposed to be. Shiego took the girl and raised her as if he had no other purpose in life, he took her to court, he tutored her personally and molded the girl into everything he felt a Crane should be elegant, graceful, and well spoken. Unfortunately, Shiego found himself in trouble around his beloved child’s third year. Having spoken what most people would find an acceptable insult to a Representative of the wheat grower in the Lair Doji Shiego found himself poised to receive a knife in his back. As luck would have it Usagi Yasu had seen what was about to happening, putting Doji Shiego into a debt he would find very hard to repay.   <br/> <br/>As a child Tsukino was often just a few steps behind Usagi Jirou the son of the man whom had saved her father.. He protected her from bullies and was one of the few people she confided in. Shiego noticed her early descents into madness at the full moon with great alarm, and did everything he could to keep his daughters malady a secret. From practicing medication with her daily, drugging her so she could barely stand on the night of the full moon and outright tying her up when all else failed. She was a quiet but rather intense child who took well to her studies and often strained herself over composing the perfect Haiku or Letter long before it was her time to worry about such things in life.  She would continue this intensity towards her studies regardless of how important or menial they were her greatest joy becoming the game of letters, where even the slightest stroke of a brush on a single character could be a loving compliment or a vicious insult.<br/> <br/> Tuskino learned the arts of painting and tea ceremony, practices she would hold dear well into her life She invested herself deeply in the court, following closely in her father’s footsteps which irritated her mother to no end. She learned the laws of the land learning the subtlety and careful words of court that could hone anyone’s perception to a master level. <br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">20 Questions</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em>1.   WHAT CLAN DOES YOUR CHARACTER BELONG TO?</em><br/>Crane<br/><em>2.   HOW WOULD OTHERS DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER’S APPEARANCE?</em><br/>Tsukino is small in frame, just barely under five feet in height and rather slender at that. Her unnaturally white hair is always kept immaculately groomed and she always seems to be carefully and stylishly dressed. As members of her clan are want to she has delicate feminine features and a perpetual unreadable smile across her lips.  <br/><em>3.   IS YOUR CHARACTER A BUSHI, SHUGENJA, MONK, OR COURTIER?</em><br/>Courtier<em><br/>4.   WHAT FAMILY DOES YOUR CHARACTER BELONG TO?</em><br/>Doji<em><br/>5.   WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S MAIN MOTIVATION?</em><br/>To uphold the honor of the Doji family through hard work. Make friends of enemies and hopefully better the village in the process. <br/><em>6.   WHO IS THE PERSON YOUR CHARACTER TRUSTS MOST?</em><br/>She trusts her father implicitly. Whatever he says she usually takes very seriously and with little deviation. Her friend Jirou has also earned a great amount of her trust though not to the same level as her beloved father.<br/><em>7.   WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S GREATEST STRENGTH? GREATEST WEAKNESS?</em><br/>Her greatest strength is her ability to persuade and put on a smiling face during the most trying of moments, her greatest weakness being obsession with absolute perfection which often slows her down and the fact she is not very physically strong at all. <br/><em>8.   WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER THINK OF BUSHIDO?</em><br/>It is an important set of guiding principles, though some of them are more applicable in the everyday life than others. <br/><em>9.   WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S OPINION OF HIS OWN CLAN?</em><br/>Tsukino wholeheartedly believes that every clan has their place as part of the natural order of things in Rokugan. The Crane were born to be at the top, not out of any superiority but of the need to facilitate interaction in Rokugan to make everything run far more smoothly<br/><em>10.   IS YOUR CHARACTER MARRIED?</em><br/>She has been been betrothed to Usagi Jirou. She will be fine with this once she actually finds out.<br/><em>11.   DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE ANY PREJUDICES?</em><br/>Though she is loathe to admit it the physically deformed tend to put her on edge because she cannot help but assume there is some degree of shadowland taint there ev en if she knows that in most cases it is untrue. She has also been raised with a deep seeded mistrust of the Crab Clan, their constant rudeness and failure to follow protocol has to mean –something-<br/><em>12.   TO WHOM DOES YOUR CHARACTER OWE THE MOST LOYALTY?</em><br/>Beside the most obvious of answers, she owes her loyalty to her own father. <br/><em>13.   WHAT ARE YOUR CHARACTER’S FAVORITE AND LEAST FAVORITE THINGS?</em><br/>Tsukino loves to paint, admire nature and perform the tea ceremony while she absolutely hates the Shamisen, and has decided to conquer it solely out of resentment of exactly how bad she is at it. <br/><em>14.   DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE ANY RECURRING MANNERISMS?</em><br/>She is a fairly hard person to read, and tries her best to keep unconscious mannerisms to a bare minimum. When she was young she used to fiddle with the sleeves of her Kimono when she was nervous or bored and still does so in a very subtle way. She also tends to balance her fan between her fingers and wiggle it back and forth between them when she believes no one is looking at her. <br/><em>15.   WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER’S EMOTIONS?</em><br/>Tsukino has a very tight grip on her emotions, she is often stoic and quiet though when she speaks she speaks decisively. In private she is fond of laughing, despite not often getting the chance to do such which is likely why she is so fond of Usagi Jirou.<br/><em>16.   HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER HANDLE A SUBORDINATE’S IMPROPER BEHAVIOR?</em><br/>If it is one of her own   she will quietly pull said servant aside and remind them that they represent the Doji family even if they were not born into it and that embarrassing the Doji line does not only hurt her, it hurts the servant themself. If not one of her own she would not mention it seeing as it is not her place to reprimand another’s servants, nor is it at all polite to bring up such a transgression. <br/><em>17.   HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER’S PARENTS DESCRIBE HIM?</em><br/>She is the apple of her father’s eye and he has nothing but praise to languish on his only child. Her mother still holds her daughter in good regard, though she regrets the girl did not undertake more martial training. <br/><em>18.   WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S HIGHEST AMBITION?</em><br/>To join the Emperor at his winter court even if such a thing is out of the realm of the village she has never left and isn’t sure she’d ever have the chance to leave. <br/><em>19.   HOW RELIGIOUS IS YOUR CHARACTER?</em><br/>Tsukino believes in the spirits influence over the mortal world deeply and the Fortunes are not to be ignored and shun. Proper respect must be paid. <br/><em>20. HOW WILL YOUR CHARACTER DIE</em><br/>If, Tsukino had any word in the matter, it would be as an old woman who had outlived all of her detractors laying smug in her comfortable mansion at last feeling victorious for a life well lived. <br/>She likely will die with a knife in her back or poison in her tea. <br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Locations</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Rice Paddy Estate</strong><br/>The estate was taken as Doji property not long after Doji Shiego’s father had acquired the rice fields, and set them to work at a much more efficient pace. This allowed the Village to have more food available to them during the fertile months. The Estate is large enough that Doji Shiego and his wife sparsley have to meet eyes for anything other than the nightly family dinners which are conducted in complete silence at a long table, with Shiego on one end, Kohaku on the other, and Tsukino usually sitting somewhere in the middle and usally being the only one to even attempt to speak. There is a small tea garden in the courtyard, a few private baths and saunas scattered through the lavish estate. Some of the best views from the estate offer a sweeping glance at the understated beauty of the rice paddies which Tsukino often uses as a point of contemplation.  <br/>The Servants are not normally very big on disgracing their benevolent masters but every once in a while one will let a secret Slide. Mostly the occasional tale of the most awful shamisen playing in Rokugan emanating from Tsukino’s bedroom.  <br/><br/><strong>Tasogare Onsen</strong> <br/>An Onsen set into the mountains just outside of town. The price for such an establishment is lower than one would normally expect in Rokugan, which is not surprising due to the remote location. It offers a multitude of different baths with various infusions and even a few natural rock bottom springs, some co-ed and others not. It always seems to be a little bit dark inside, and there always seems to a pervasive feeling that someone might be listening to you. <br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> NPCs</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Doji Shiego</strong><br/>A tall and slender man with unnaturally white hair and wholly delicate features that harken back to the Lady Doji herself with a means of carrying himself that would do nothing short of honor her appropriately. His father had come to own the Rice Paddies when he was a young man whom had just completed his Gempakku and it was handed down to him when his father passed away. He has spent the last few years carefully hand tutoring and training his daughter into what he feels will be the perfect Courtier.  <br/><br/><strong>Bayushi Hikari</strong><br/>A short but hawk faced Scorpion clan woman who runs the local Onsen. She remains all smiles while customers are in the baths. After all, relaxation breeds lose lips. It is very rare that anything will come of the the information she acquires from her staff at the Onsen, but every once in a while someone will find themselves being blackmailed anonymously with their memory of even admitting to their wrong doing dulled by a night of warm sake and hot baths. <br/><br/><strong>Minoru</strong><br/>He regrets his birth into the peasant class and absolutely insists to himself that the man who raised him, is not truly his father and rather believes his true linage to be from one of the noble Samurai. He works on Rice Paddies, while he secretly plots and plans to get himself a Wakazashi which he believes is all he needs to become a Samurai. Minoru is a thickly built youth, from muscular but simple stock. His nose is slightly offset from a fistfight he was in as a child where he had his nose broken. <br/><br/><strong>Noriko</strong><br/>Noriko considered herself to be very lucky to have gotten herself employed at the Doji Estate. Both of her parents work out in the rice paddies but Noriko was chosen to be one of Doji Tsukino's servants. She considers herself to be madly in love with her Mistress and is starting to harbor a resentment towards her attention and newly announced Nuptial to Usagi Jirou. Noriko is a tall lanky young woman with dark hair, dark eyes, and freckles that she is often teased for having. <br/><br/></div></div>
