Yoritomo Sachina



Sachina, also known as "the Seductress", was a geisha who served as one of the Shogun's Advisors. Sachina was raised by her mother, a geisha of some skill, in Nanashi Mura. When she came of age she was trained, but had been paying attention to the other geisha in the house for so long that she required little training and eventually became a master at it. Later she encountered a young Akodo Kaneka and came to become one of his advisors.

Gift of the Shogun
In 1167, when the Shogun Kaneka sent out his advisors to the Great Clans, Sachina joined the Mantis Clan. She immediately struck up a friendly rivalry with Yoritomo Yoyonagi. Since joining the Mantis Sachina swore fealty to the Yoritomo family, becoming Yoritomo Sachina.

Amethyst Champion
When the Phoenix Clan announced that the Amethyst Champion was relinquishing the position, Sachina began orchestrating the support for a Mantis Clan candidate. Sachina convinced Shosuro Jimen that the Scorpion should not oppose the Mantis, and she convinced Kakita Munemori that the Crane should support the Mantis candidate. When confronted by the Mantis Clan Champion Yoritomo Naizen and the head of the Mantis delegation to the courts Yoritomo Yoyonagi Sachina explained that she had been working to have Yoyonagi be the candidate. Sachina also did this so that she would become the next head of the Mantis delegation. ) Yoyonagi was successfully appointed the Amethyst Champion.
