Kitsune Ryosei

Kitsune Ryosei was the daughter of the Fox Clan Champion, Kitsune Gohei.

Ryosei's Gempukku
In 1124, when Ryosei was 16, she underwent her gempukku. Ryosei was tasked by her father to locate and retrieve the Ancestral Sword of the Fox Clan. Ryosei found the sword hidden under the mountains near Otosan Uchi, and brought it back to the Grove of Inari in Kitsune Mori where her father was waiting. Her father, an old man, took the blade and unravelled the silk of the hilt to reveal a Black Scroll concealed within. Gohei read the scroll, becoming the Walking Horror of Fu Leng to gain immortality. Gohei attempted to sacrifice Ryosei to complete the ritual. Ryosei was saved by a kitsune spirit which sacrificed its own life to buy Ryosei enough time to escape.



""One day, I will find you, father... I swear that I will.""

Hunting her Father
In 1159 in the month of the Serpent Ryosei finally decided to find her father. She was met by the mad Ise Zumi Kokujin, who had been sent by her father to guide her to the City of the Lost. In the Temple of the Ninth Kami Gohei offered his daughter to join them while holding the Tenth Black Scroll, A Terrible Oath. The Fox Daimyo refused and was imprisoned, but Omen aided her escape from the City. He gifted Ryosei several items; a map to find the nezumi Te'tik'kir of the Crippled Bone Tribe who would help her return to the Empire, a magical crystal to be used for long range communication and the Tenth Black Scroll.
