Never destined to take over the Tortoise clan, Kasuga Kasumi became Daimyo after her aunt and uncle succumbed to the sickness originating from the Fox lands and her Father was dishonored and ordered to commit seppuku. The story of how Toritaka Benkei and she kept to honor despite their Father’s plot has become legendary. This is aided by the fact that Kasumi is friends and allies with the ‘super pervert’ and pillowbook author Kakita Hiroshi. He was more than happy to publish the tale of how the twins managed to not marry one another and not dishonor themselves despite being engaged for ten years.

Kasumi married Kitsune Tomo in 1129 and was blessed with a daughter, Kiyomi shortly afterwards. She found Hitomi in her own lands when the girl’s mother, a geisha, tried to abandon her because of her strange yellow eyes. Believing her to be her little brother’s daughter, Kasumi raised Hitomi until Benkei was free of his duty to protect Sanjuro Daichiko and Sanjuro Yurika.

Kasumi was blessed with her son Izumi in 1132, another son Minoru in 1140, a daughter Sayuri in 1143 and if rumors are correct, will be blessed with a fifth child after the new year.

Kasumi has looked beyond the Empire’s borders and has become worried about the threats beyond. As the Major Clans are too hard to maneuver, she’s been trying to ally all of the minor clans together. She has a particular dislike for the newest Major Clan.
