Personal Description
Age:		Young Adult
Height:		170cm
Weight:		50kg
Appearance: Probably because of her childish face and fair skin Ai seems at least a couple of years younger than what she is. She is slightly taller than 
average however, very slim, wears long black hair usually fixed with a simple knot, and has very small feet and hands. Perhaps her most peculiar detail 
is her voice, which always sounds very airy and soft, and has made several people say that she would make for a very good courtier.
She usually prefers comfortable clothes and simple sandals rather than dressing more elegant, unless of course she is invited in public or receiving a 
guest, in which occasion she doesn't disdain elaborate clothing.

Background:	Fudo Ai is the 5th and youngest daughter of Fudo Yoshimori and Daidoji Akane. The Fudo are a very small family branch of the Crane and as such Ai and her brothers and sisters have always been educated under the leadership of their mother's family, the Daidoji. Although she never quite seemed particularly gifted for combat, and also shown some whimsical behaviour since very young age which raised doubts about her strength to follow the bushido code well, it was decided by her family that Ai should have received regular training in the Daidoji samurai school since her tender age, and after proving to be quite agile she was later focused on the art of iaijutsu technique. Besides, she was teached in traditional skills such as calligraphy, cultural knowledge and the performance of the tea ceremony, as she was supposed to be a well-educated maiden in society as much as a good samurai in battle.
Her father Yoshimori however was never pleased by the fact that his children were all being trained according to the wife family's decisions. Being an expert in more than one kind of magic, he had already tried with Ai's elder brothers to have them also trained as shugenja, but with little success. But he noticed that Ai had a somewhat better disposition towards this, and the fact that she was the youngest - and at the same time the least promising samurai - helped Yoshimori manage to get the Daidoji loose the grip on Ai a bit, and the girl was able to follow her father's training at the same time.
At this day, Fudo Ai is in her early twenty. She is usually addressed as a samurai, for how far her father's trainings have gone is not very much disclosed to anyone, and not even the Daidoji relatives knows her current skills as a shugenja. Because she is still considered somehow an unreliable apprentice in the arts of combat, she has never been assigned important tasks for the Crane clan and she has actually ventured in the shadowlands only once, as part of her samurai training.


Personality:	Normally Ai is very well-versed in etiquette and never shows anger or reveal any other strong emotion. Neverthless in her life she occasionally happens to behave strangely or exaggerately for a day, as she would sometimes need to blow out a burden of hidden and contained feelings; recently she has noticed how this behaviour of hers usually happens after a recurring nightmare where she is lost or abandoned in the shadowlands (whatever may be the reason for this nightmares, it is at present unknown to her). Although she is definitely not shy at all, she also seems to often measure her words as she would like to avoid talking about her private self.

[B]Appearance:[/B] Renshi has short, clean cut black hair and calm brown
 eyes. He is not the tallest of his clan, but neither is he very short. His face
 is soft and devoid of sharp edges, which seems to flow(literally) into the 
long robes. Among many, he woul be considered very attractive. They are 
a firey Phoenix red, which is ironic in his devotion to water.

[B]Personality:[/B] Isawa Renshi is calm, and slow to anger or action. His 
emotions rule him more than anything, and they flow like the waters of the ocean. While he sees himself as a healer and pillar of strength, Renshi will 
fight if necissary, though he has always had problems with the idea of taking
 a human life.

[B]Background:[/B] Renshi, like most others, was born into his place. Unlike some, however, he was born into the perfect place. As a member of the Isawa family, he had access to the magic of the world from a young age, and
 his talent in this field was easily seen and developed. He grew up learning
 the truth about magic and how to develop it within himself. However, unlike many in his family, he has only taken a small interest in the Void. He sees
 that it has great potential and power, but that is not what he seeks. He
 simply seeks to prove his honor to the ruling members of the family, and
 hopefully one take take a place among the elders. Of course, this will most
 likely be a tough road for one ruled by their emotions, as he can make comments or take actions where one should not in the normal course of 
proper behavior. While his family can accept this, it would be dangerous for
 himself to act soley from his emotions within a more public setting. Every so
 often, he finds that these actions attract the ire of an ancestor, who comes
 to haunt him, expressing their distaste in ways that are more than worrying.
