The cold and meriless look in his deep brown eyes demonstrates to all who meet him that this is a driven and dangerous young man.   Personality: Fujiwara is driven to return the honor to his family name and return to the ranks of the samurai.  He may not show it to a potential new Lord, but he will eagerly pursue any oppurtunity to advance himself to find favor.  The only thing that will drive him harder is the reckoning he prays to one day have with his older brother.    Background: The Fujiwara were an old family of samurai, until Miharu's elder brother Yomu betrayed their lord to enemies.  While Yomu was rewarded with a position of honor with his new Lord, the Fujiwara Lord was killed and the Fujiwara family was disgraced.  Miharu's mother died in the betrayal and his father committed sepuku.  Miharu, not yet 22 (and a fully invested samurai), swore vengence on his brother, his brother's new master, and to return his family to a postion of honor.  The only way that Miharu saw to do this was to become death with a sword, prefecting the art of Kenjutsu, and cutting his way to his goal.  He has lived two yeras now, on his own, as a Ronin.  Some of his actions have been less than the pinnicle of morality (such as preying upon travelling merchants), yet Miharu lives by his own sense of honor and is highly regarded for both this and his swordplay in many quarters.   Opinion on the Growing Trouble: Miharu sees the growing conflict in Japan as an oppurtunity for advancement, with the faint hope that somewhere in the bitter flmaes of war, he will find his brother and brother's master and finnally have his revenge.</blockquote>
