Asahina Sodayu

Asahina Sodayu was a shugenja of the Crane Clan

Spiritual Threat to the Empire
Sodayu was appointed as an assistant to the Jade Champion Isawa Kaname. In 1199 he was the first to see the research of Isawa Nairuko, a priestress who found a spiritual threat to the Empire. The Moto family had a curse in their bloodline, and anyone of Moto blood drew ill fortune, which they passed to the descendant they bore with the members of other families. Sodayu did not find any flaw, and the report was praised by the Elemental Council in front of the Jade Champion. Kaname had already reported it to the Iuchi family, who politely dismissed her, and the Moto rebuffed every of her attempts to approach them. Once the notice was spread the Unicorn considered it a Phoenix insult.
