<blockquote data-quote="Li Shenron" data-source="post: 1823044" data-attributes="member: 1465">This is hopefully Ai's final version. I used 19000gp as a baseline for equipment, but I had a hard time choosing what to own. The weapon is pretty powerful and took almost all her money, but I think it also fits with her shugenja specialisation a lot. OTOH her AC is definitely low, so as soon as she reaches 2000gp she'll be looking for something to raise it a little (amulet of natural armor or ring of protection).One note: she should have 2 bonus languages, but it looks like speaking monster languages is considered dishonorable, so she basically has one less language than expected.Let me know if the adjusted background is fine or still has something that needs to be changed.[CODE]Name:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Ai KakitaRace:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Human , femaleAlignment:&nbsp; &nbsp; Lawful NeutralClass:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Fighter 3 / Shugenja 4Clan:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CraneFamily:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; DaidojiHonor:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 3Glory:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1Personal DescriptionAge:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Young AdultHeight:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 170cmWeight:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 50kgAppearance: 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 simpleknot, and has very small feet and hands. Perhaps her most peculiar detailis 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.Racial and clan FeaturesSize:&nbsp;

She and her brothers and sisters have all been educated to the code of bushido and teached in many traditional skills such as calligraphy, different fields of knowledge and the performance of the tea ceremony. She was supposed to be a well-educated maiden in society as much as a good samurai in battle, and therefore received regular training in the family school of samurai, but she didn't seem particularly gifted for combat since her tender age, and furtermore she had occasionally shown some whimsical behaviour which raised doubts about her strength to follow the bushido code flawlessly.

She had in fact already tried with Ai's elder brothers to have them trained at the shugenja family school instead, but with no success. When she noticed that Ai had a somewhat better disposition towards this, she took advantage of the facts that Ai was the youngest and especially the least promising as a samurai, and managed to convince her husband Yoshimori that the girl was hardly going to become a worthy samurai and had better switch to the family school of magic, although she was already not a child anymore (Akane has often privately given her daughter extra trainings in magic to make up for the lost time). In any case, Ai didn't abandon martial studies completely, and after realising to be quite agile she focused on the art of iaijutsu technique, although she mostly trains by herself. At this day, Kakita Ai is in her early twenty. Because of her young age, and because she is still somewhat a missed samurai in the mind of her family, she has never been assigned important tasks for the Crane clan and she has actually ventured in the shadowlands only once a long time ago, 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 these 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. [/CODE] [/QUOTE]
