[edit] Early Life
Doji Ninube was born the only child to Doji Mikara, then daimyo of Ukara Castle. Ninube was born late in Mikara's life. She was said to be skilled in poetry, song, dance and rhetoric. (The Way of Shadow, pg 79.)
[edit] Corruption
Doji Ninube was to spend the winter in the home of her husband to be, Isawa Ujina, before their marriage in the spring, so that she could learn the manner and routines of his household. On the road between the Doji and Isawa lands, her caravan was ambushed by minions of the Lying Darkness, and Ninube was kidnapped. Although a group of Emerald Magistrate's were dispatched to find the girl, they too were ambushed and slain by minions of the Shadow. A second rescue was mounted, this time lead by Kitsuki Kaagi, who was accompanied by his eta servant Meilekki and Ujina himself. The group managed to rescue Ninube, but Ujina was badly wounded in the fight. Further, it became clear to Kaagi and Meilekki that Ninube had already succumbed to the corruption of the Lying Darkness, but Ujina refused to listen, and took his bride home.[1] (The Way of Shadow, pg 79-101)
[edit] Death
After the birth of their daughter, Isawa Kaede, Ujina discovered the full extent of Ninube's corruption. He killed the creature that had been Ninube, but was greatly injured before she died. The poison that Ninube used against Ujina eventually caused him to become the Nameless One in an attempt to fight the darkness spreading though his body.[2]
