Picture
1: What Clan does your character belong to? (Only the original seven Great Clans are allowed.)
Dragon
2: What Family does your character belong to? (No Vassal Families.)
Agasha
3: Is your character a bushi, courtier, or shugenja?
Courtier
4: How would others describe your character's appearance?
Though she is undeniably beautiful in the demure manner befitting a young courtier, her eyes have a piercing depth to them that many find unnerving.
5: What is your character's primary motivation?
To prove to her mother that she can serve the Clan better as an investigator than she would have been able to as a shugenja.
6: Who is the person your character trusts most in the world?
Her father, whom she could confide in when she found herself unwilling to be a shugenja despite the Kami's interest in her.
7: What is your character's greatest strength? What is your character's greatest weakness?
Her curiosity and persistence which allow her to find the truth of all but the most well-hidden secrets.
Her lack of ability to keep that curiosity from killing the metaphorical cat.
8: What does your character think of bushido?
Important, but less so than the truth.
9: What is your character's opinion of his clan?
The only sane Clan in an Empire that still lives centuries ago.
10: Is your character married?
She has worked to postpone a marriage until she feels she has established herself as a successful investigator rather than a failed shugenja.
11: What prejudices does your character have?
Unless disabused of the notion at first encounter, she will assume that non-Dragons are irrational and base their judgements on superstition and tradition.
12: To whom does your character owe the most loyalty?
The Kitsuki Daimyo
13: What are your character's most and least favorite things?
Solving a truly difficult puzzle.
Finding out that what she thought was a puzzle was really just a cheap trick.
14: Does your character have any mannerisms?
Only by fierce concentration is he able to focus her attention and gaze on any one thing. If left to her own devices, she will take in the entirety of her surroundings, often leading to a perception that she is ignoring a speaker or exhibit.
15: How does your character deal with emotions?
Like all courtiers, she has trained never to display them. Like all investigators, she has trained never to let them cloud her judgement.
16: How would your character deal with a subordinate's improper behavior?
By finding its source and correcting it. If that source is incompetence or other personal faults, she will not hesitate to dismiss the subordinate.
17: How would your character's parents describe him or her?
Mother: "She could have been even closer to the Kami than I am, and yet she chose to devote herself to the mundane? What is wrong with that girl?"
Father: "She knows her own mind and the importance of the truth."
18: What is your character's highest ambition?
To make the other Clans accept Kitsuki's Method as superior to their antiquaited notions of justice and jurisprudence.
19: How religious is your character? How superstitious?
She is religious to the extent that it can directly influence her life. She has dreamt of her ancestor Agasha Kitsuki, and knows that he watches over her and approves. She has felt the flames of angry fire Kami on her skin. The fortunes and the higher spirits, however, she has very little time for.
20: How will your character die?
After passing on her discovery of a massive plot against the Empire.
Father: Agasha Josuke (born Kitsuki)
Mother: Agasha Xieng Chi [a powerful Fire Shugenja]
Siblings: Sui [elder sister, an Earth Shugenja], Hatsuo [younger brother, an aspiring duellist]
-Stuff-

Mastery Abilities:
Courtier - The character gains an additional +3 Insight above the total normally indicated by his Rings and Skill Ranks.
Etiquette - The character gains an additional +3 Insight above the total normally indicated by his Rings and Skill Ranks.
Investigation - A second attempt to use the Search Emphasis may be made without an increase in the original TN.
Kenjutsu - The total of all damage rolls made with a sword is increased by 1k0.
Meditation - A successful Meditation Skill Roll restores up to 2 Void Points.
Techniques:
Rank 1: Kitsuki's Method
The Kitsuki are masters of investigation and perception, noticing the most minute and telling details with merely a glance. You gain a Free Raise on all your Investigation Skill Rolls. However, while the Kitsuki are trained for investigation and diplomacy, unlike other courtiers they do not wholly neglect the ways of the warrior. In a skirmish, you add your Perception Trait Rank to your Armor TN.
Rank 2: Wisdom the Wind Brings
The Kitsuki skill at noticing small details makes it very difficult to deceive them. Anyone making a Social Skill Roll for the purpose of lying to you or otherwise deceiving you, or making a Feint or Disarm Maneuver against you in a skirmish, must add +5 to their TN for each of your Kitsuki Investigator School Ranks.
Rank 3: Know the Rhythm of the Heart
The Kitsuki study a secret methodology known as Ichi Miru, or "first look," which allows them to size up another person in almost a single glance. After speaking with someone for a few moments, you can roll Investigation (Notice) / Perception against a TN of their Intelligence x 5. A success grants you a true and accurate, if simple, picture of their personality and motivations. For example, you might perceive that a boisterous ronin is actually a calculating man who is trying to put on the picture of being a rude, simple fellow.
Advantages:
Ancestor - Agasha Kitsuki [spiritual]
The founder of the Kitsuki family originated the concept of the controversial "Kitsuki Method," which uses logical deduction and inference to solve crimes. Those who have his guidance gain the ability to "read" others and to pick up on subtle, hidden clues in an uncanny, almost supernatural manner that many samurai find disturbing. When you have Kitsuki's guidance, you may use your Perception Trait for any Skill or Trait roll that would normally require you to use your Awareness Trait. Furthermore, if you spend a Void point on any Skill or Trait roll to tell whether someone is lying to you, you gain +2k2 instead of the normal +1k1.
Demands: Kitsuki requires you to always pursue the truth. If you ever accept a solution to a problem, crime, or puzzle that you know or sincerely believe to be false, Kitsuki will abandon you
Beten's Blessing [spiritual]
Benten's Blessing: The Fortune of Romantic Love has showered you with her blessings. Whenever you are attempting to persuade someone, regardless of the circumstances, you gain a bonus of +0k1 to the total of the Social Skill Roll in question. This bonus only applies to persuasion, not coercion.
Disadvantages:
4 Cursed by the Realm (Yume-Do) [spiritual] {Only regain Void points after 10 hours of sleep}
3 Daikoku's Curse [spiritual] {-1k1 on Commerce rolls and -1 Koku in stating outfit}
3 Wrath of the Kami (Fire) [spiritual] {Fire spells get a free Raise when used against her}
Heritage:
Your ancestor performed admirably while occupying a high-profi le position in the Dragon Clan. You gain 1 free Rank in a High Skill of your choice.
