Doji Ritsuko

Doji Ritsuko was the Crane Clan Champion.

Lion-Phoenix War
During the Lion-Phoenix War the city of Shiro Shiba had been besieged by the Lion Clan. Eventually the intervention of the Crane Clan forced the Lion to call a truce.

Victory with No Strike
Soon thereafter, a Phoenix shugenja, Isawa Tomokazu, sought vengeance against the Lion for their aggression. The Crane Champion, Doji Ritsuko, rode to stop him, but she refused to duel. She endured his elemental assault, yet refused to fall, and after days of her passive resistance, the kami refused Tomokazu's requests to smite her. With this, the Phoenix forces lost the will to fight and surrendered, in the battle known as the Victory with No Strike, achieving one's goals on the battlefield by breaking the enemy's will.

Wife
The Phoenix shugenja married the samurai maiden who beat him in the battle, taking the name Asahina.
