Yasuki Nobuko (TCG)

Yasuki Nobuko was a merchant of the Crab Clan.

Ryokō Owari Toshi
Yasuki Nobuko learned how to navigate conversations and contracts, how to walk the line between flattery and rebuke. She moved to Ryokō Owari Toshi to make a name for herself, and Nobuko eventually became a central figure in the city's black market. She could typically be found in a teahouse and opium den called the Blooming Flower not far from the docks, from where she conducted her business. Yasuki Nobuko was a severe, thin-faced woman, who indulged a weakness for sake in the back room of the Flower. Despite her criminal life and connections, Nobuko held her personal honor beyond reproach, providing a valuable service to her clan, sending home funds as well as information that would otherwise be beyond their reach. This allowed her to carve out a place in polite society, fueling her apparent sincerity in dealing with the other nobles in the city, a popular point of contact between the honorable samurai and the underworld.
