Shosuro Kimi

Family
Kimi was the daughter of the Governor of Ryoko Owari Toshi, Shosuro Akitada and his wife Shosuro Hyobu. She had an elder brother, Shosuro Jocho.

Fostered
When Kimi was about ten year old her father sent her as hostage to the Doji family. In return the taxes of the city were lowered, as arranged with the Emerald Champion Doji Satsume. She remained there for six years. His father died in 1115 and the post of Governor was taken by her mother Hyobu on stead of Jocho.

Return to Ryoko Owari
She returned graceful, polite, beautiful, and accomplished in the courtly arts. So Kimi quickly learned she was on the outside of the Scorpion society, who did not trust her anymore after the time passed with the Crane.

New friends
Kimi found herself adrift, so she sought new peers. She met two brothers, the lighthearted and entertaining Ide Michikane, and the sincere and thoughtful Ide Asamitsu. Initially Kimi spent more time with Michikane, but she finally fell in love of Asamitsu, who felt the same way. Kimi was engaged to Asamitsu's brother, so they did not advance on their love until Michikane died of opium overdose.
