Bayushi Akemi could convince a man to think dishonorable things. She is sleek and slim, petite without showing a sign of weakness. The wicked smile on her lips, the dangerous gleam in her eyes, all of it shows that she is thrilling, a creature very different from the austere, delicate flowers that litter the courts of Rokugan.

That is not to say that Akemi would be out of place at a court. She keeps her hair dyed, though not quite as white as the Crane might. Her lips carefully painted, her kimonos always at the height of style. Akemi is an enviable match, if only one could tie her down.
