Moshi Jukio

Moshi Jukio known as Grandmother to her family. Jukio was Moshi Wakiza's mother and Daimyo of the Moshi family twice. Ruling before Wakiza, and then coming out of retirement when her daughter died giving birth to Yoritomo Kumiko.

Jukio as never pleased with her daughters choice to join Yoritomo's Alliance, and was even less pleased when the Centipede Clan merged with the Mantis Clan.

Jukio was well known for her wisdom and devotion to Lady Sun in her youth. But old age, war and the death of Lady Sun twisted her into a bitter old woman, resentful of all men, particularly male shugenja. Cursed as many other Moshi Shugenja were, she lived well into her hundreds until she learned the lesson of respect and forgiveness. Jukio would eventually experiance this when she accepted her grandaughter as Mantis Clan Champion. Ironically Jukio had no hand in bringing up her grandaughter, since Kumiko's birth had been kept a secret even from her. Jukio was outraged that such a thing had been hidden from her, and felt that Kumiko's life as a samurai had been wasted when she surly could have been a shugenja.
