Miya Bunji

Miya Bunji was a Miya Herald of the Imperial Families.

Mapmaker
In 1122 Bunji was sent to Shiro Mirumoto to deliver a pronouncement that the Winter Court would be held at the Esteemed Palaces of the Crane this year. Having several months before needing to present himself at the Court, Bunji devoted his time to mapping the rugged and somewhat treacherous Dragon-Phoenix border region.

Masayo
Eventually he was lost in the midst of a severe pre-winter storm, and stumbled toa 12 year old child who was seemingly untroubled by the storm around her, playing with an invisible friend. The maiden, named Masayo, offered Bunji shelter in the village of Chisanrū, introducing him to the peasants who had raised her since her parent's passing. Bunji learned Masayo's parents were a Dragon warrior and a Phoenix shugenja and decided to ride south with Masayo to present the girl to representatives from the Dragon and Phoenix clans, who claimed the child for their clan. His daimyō, Miya Satoshi, instead to decide the outcome, he returned the responsibility to Bunji. Not prepared for such a burden, Bunji turned to his confidant, Shika Yuki, a Deer Clan matchmaker, for guidance.
