Bayushi Kachiko

Originally Shosuro Kachiko, she was betrothed as a child to Hiruma Maruku until the daimyo of the Scorpion Clan, Bayushi Shoju, saw her beauty and married her himself.

When Hiruma Maruku challenged Kachiko's father Shosuro Koshurin to a duel over the changing of the marital arrangements, a young Doji Hoturi stepped in and fought for her honor in the place of her father, cutting the crab duelist in two.

Had a son with Doji Hoturi, Bayushi Dairyu. Hoturi slew Bayushi Dairu at the end of the Scorpion Coup, as the united forces under Akodo Toturi attacked the palace. Hoturi knew nothing about his son until his dying moments.

After the death of Shoju in the Scorpion Coup she convinced Hantei XXXIX to take her as his wife.

She was the Scorpion Clan Thunder on the Second Day of Thunder in 1128.

Her exact fate is unknown. She is indefinitely trapped in a lake under Kyuden Bayushi with the spirit of Bayushi, helping to contain the Shadow-tainted essence of Shosuro.
