Appearance
[[image:Kaori.jpg]]
Kaori is tall and sturdy, wider of shoulder and narrower of hip than might be expected of a girl. Factor in the wide-brimmed straw hat she usually wears to hide her face and the billowing, colorful robes that obscure what feminine curves she does have… and it's kind of easy to understand why she's often mistaken for a man. She does have some feminine features, though, and these mostly show when she takes off her hat (or when she loses it to the wind, as the case may be): she has long, silky black hair held up in intricate knots tied with silk cord, delicate features, and large dark eyes framed with long lashes. She carries her katana sheathed carefully on her back, and moves with… you couldn't call it grace, but maybe a sort of comforting purposefulness. She doesn't waste time, but she doesn't hurry, either. Unless something has gone terribly wrong, she can always be seen with her large red dog, Isamu, either walking beside her or trailing a few paces behind her.

Background

Kaori has always seen and heard the basic forces that underly the workings of nature, and they have always seen and heard her. While she has not, say, the connection of Ifrit to fire or Shiva to ice, she has a working understanding of all the elements and their personalities; she refers to them, as some cultures do, as Kami. Sometimes they talk to her, sometimes they help her. It is said among those other Yojimbo who have heard of her abilities that her dog, Isamu, is a combination of Kami - earth for his body, water for his blood, fire for his spirit and wind for movement - gathered at her call. Hailing from the Yojimbo line of Aeons, Kaori took quickly to sword mastery and the traditions of a warrior, and found it only natural to call upon the Kami while in combat, as well.

While all of this has the potential to make her an honored and sought-after Yojimbo… Kaori finds selling her sword to be at odds with her line's traditions of honor and respect. She wants to spend her time fighting to protect Sapureth, not simply serving the highest bidder, but was unsure of how to tell her family this without upsetting them or violating the traditions. So, when the head of her family came to her with news of teams that were forming to patrol the rift, and with even more exciting news that the Elder had offered her as a candidate to join one, she jumped at the chance to do so.

Personality
Kaori takes the traditions of her line very seriously, and lives by the philosophy that one should never say or do anything that one would be ashamed to tell the Elder about after the fact. This means that lying, stealing and trickery are right out. Every person one meets should be treated with respect, whether that person holds the highest or lowest station in life, and if one is unfortunate enough to make enemies, these should be faced openly, honestly, and without fear, whatever the outcome. Along with these values Kaori is very down-to-earth, and possesses a nature that is somehow completely open and oddly private, both at the same time.
