Suikihime

Otomo Suikihime is the niece and apprentice of the shugenja Otomo M'rika. She succeeded Ikoma Katsuru as Governor of the Second City after he was murdered by Dark Naga in 1198.

Suikihime was considered a rising star among the Otomo family’s younger generation and thus a threat to many family elders. Rumour had it that her name was placed into the Empress' ear for the position of governor, because many among their upper ranks fear that she would supplant them.

The young Otomo was alleged to be a great student of M'rika's methods and philosophies which favoured a very active role in leadership.
