Asahina Maeko

Asahina Maeko was a shugenja of the Crane Clan.

Mantis Piracy
After the disappearance of her cousin Asahina Kenji at sea, Maeko began to investigate the cause behind the loss of many Crane cargo ships. Funded by Lady Takako, Maeko hired the Loyal Duck, which posed as another jade cargo ship. During a trip between Lonely Shore City and the City of the Cold Wind they were attacked by a Mantis ship, the Poison Tide. Maeko managed to overcome the opposite shugenja, Kudaka, returning to safe port to report the Mantis piracy.
