Seductress
Since childhood Yasuko stood in the shadown of a legend, Bayushi Kachiko. Everyone compared her beauty and innate talent for intrigue to that of the Scorpion Thunder, and even so Yasuko never minded that much. Who would complain about being compared to a legend? Yasuko became more interested in making her own name known, and to achieve this she made herself instrumental in the efforst of the Scorpion's attempt to usurp the power of the Crane Clan in the Imperial courts. She excelled in the art of seduction, and unlike Kachiko's loyalty to her husband, Yasuko became infamous for her more direct approach to matters. Until her engagement to Ikoma Otemi she could always be found in the imperial capitol ensnaring uwary samurai into becoming pawns of the Scorpion Clan. (Samurai p. 65)
