Takenaka Yuki:

[sablestorm]

History:
Takenaka Yuki was born in the Arashi Ki province in southeastern Isamu-Jima of Tokuno. The Takenaka clan had always been secret practitioners of ninjitsu primarily using their skill in the wars against the Kappa tribes. The lords of Arashi Ki would recruit them to serve as scouts and sabatours in these wars. Yuki's father, Nobunaga, was particularly skilled, so much so that he impressed Arima Sumitada, lord of Arashi Ki. To honor him, Lord Armia made Nobunaga a samurai, bequeathing land and the hereditary title upon the Takenaka clan. At a young age, Yuki had already begun training in the arts of stealth and ninjitsu, but now she was suddenly Samurai and she began training in the arts of bushido as well.

During the War of Vengeance, many of the ninja clans were swayed to Mondain's side. The Takenaka clan, however, remained true to their oaths to the empire, fighting valiantly against the overwhelming armies of the Dark One. Lord Arima, Nobunaga, and Yuki's three elder brothers were slain in the seige that destroyed Arashi Ki Keep. Yuki, her mother, and her younger brother fled the oncoming hordes. With the death of Lord Arima, they were now ronin, but they quickly found a living serving the Cistrum Company of the Twilight Fellowship. Relocating to Britannia, Yuki and her brother continued their training under the guidance of the Fellowship.
