Isawa Natsuki

Isawa Natsuki was a courtier of the Phoenix Clan.

Courtier
Daughter of a Scorpion mother, Natsuki had always been ambitious. Her beauty, wit, and intelligence allowed Natsuki to make many friends. In 1197 her scandalous affair with a Lion bushi was concluded with her banishment to the Second City.

Colonies
Asako Souta, head of the Phoenix delegation, considered Natsuki too frivolous and does not entrust her with any significant duties. Trying to build her political reputation Natsuki befriended Isawa Teiko, a young shugenja-ko friend of Souta's major rival, Isawa Yuzuki. Natsuki began to fall into a state of infatuation toward Yuzuki's middle-aged yojimbo Shiba Sora, andeventually took on some casual affairs of her own, as petty amusements.
