Hantei Yugozohime (TCG)

Hantei Yugozohime was the Emperor of Rokugan who reigned after the Gozoku was removed from power.

Gozoku
During the late fourth century three samurai, the champions of Crane, Phoenix Clan, and Scorpion Clans, conspired against the Emperor. Calling themselves the [Gozoku (TCG)|Gozoku]], they banded together and kidnapped the Emperor's heir, forcing the Emperor to grant them certain political concessions. After the Emperor's death, the Gozoku prepared to install that heir on the Throne as their puppet emperor.

Dawnfall
While the Emperor's sons had all been fostered to daimyō in the Crane, Phoenix, and Scorpion Clans to be raised to be subservient to the Gozoku, his youngest child, Yugozohime, had been raised by the Lion. She was taught on the arts of war and instilled in her a reverence for Bushidō and the honor of her Imperial ancestors. When the Emperor died, Yugozohime challenged her eldest brother to a duel, killed him, and claimed the Throne for herself. The Gozoku were completely unprepared for this turn of events, and the new Emperor quickly broke their hold on the Imperial government.
