| People | |
Sachina, also known as "the Seductress", was a geisha who served as one of the Shogun's Advisors. Sachina was raised by her mother, a geisha of some skill, in Nanashi Mura. When she came of age she was trained, but had been paying attention to the other geisha in the house for so long that she required little training and eventually became a master at it. Later she encountered a young Akodo Kaneka and came to become one of his advisors.[1]

[edit] Nanashi Mura - 1148
Sachina worked as a geisha in one of the most prominent geisha houses in Nanashi Mura in 1148. It was here that she met a young Kaneka. The two spent much time together, and Kaneka even went as far as to ask her to marry him. Sachina refused however, and Kaneka left the village in anger.[2]
[edit] Gift of the Shogun
In 1167, when the Shogun Kaneka sent out his advisors to the Great Clans, Sachina joined the Mantis Clan. She immediately struck up a friendly rivalry with Yoritomo Yoyonagi.[3] Since joining the Mantis Sachina swore fealty to the Yoritomo family, becoming Yoritomo Sachina.
[edit] Amethyst Champion
When the Phoenix Clan announced that the Amethyst Champion was relinquishing the position, Sachina began orchestrating the support for a Mantis Clan candidate. Sachina convinced Shosuro Jimen that the Scorpion should not oppose the Mantis, and she convinced Kakita Munemori that the Crane should support the Mantis candidate. When confronted by the Mantis Clan Champion Yoritomo Naizen and the head of the Mantis delegation to the courts Yoritomo Yoyonagi Sachina explained that she had been working to have Yoyonagi be the candidate. Sachina also did this so that she would become the next head of the Mantis delegation.[4] Yoyonagi was successfully appointed the Amethyst Champion. [citation needed]
[edit] Winter Court - 1170
Sachina spent Winter Court in 1170 in Kyuden Asako, where she tried to negotiate a treaty with the Dragon delegate Togashi Kanaye. Kanaye continually spoke in riddles, to such an extent that Sachina gave up and left annoyed.[5]
[edit] In the Court of Iweko I
By the time of the coronation of Iweko I, Sachina had effectively maneuvered herself to be the undisputed head of the Mantis delegation to the Imperial Courts. Yoritomo Yoyonagi had been manuevered into the office of the Amethyst Champion, Moshi Minami was a direct officer of the Jade Champion, and Yoritomo Yashinko was now directly tied to the office of the new Imperial Treasurer, a state of affairs noted quite openly by Yoritomo Singh. She attempted to recruit Moshi Kalani to represent the Mantis in Winter Court, only to learn that he had been assigned other duties by Naizen.[6]
