Soshi Yoshino was a bushi of the Scorpion Clan.
Demeanor[]
Yoshino was a curt, arrogant, and impatient young warrior. [1]
Mission[]
Yoshino and his cousin Soshi Kaoru were dispatched by the Soshi Daimyo Soshi Uidori to Honored Treaty City. The two of them had to present a gift to the Shogun Kaneka, a crystal flower carved by Ashalan Sandsmith. The Shogun was not there and Yoshino refused to leave until he claimed the gift. [2]
Affair[]
Yoshino quickly developed a relationship, and then had an affair, with Seppun Isa, the daughter of the city's governor Seppun Juro. She was betrothed to a Dragon, but Yoshino followed his heart. This was secretely the truth behind his refusal to leave the city. [1]
Juro's death[]
When the body of Juro was found, Kitsuki Temko, agent of the Shogun, was appointed to investigate. None inside the castle were allowed to leave until the murder was solved. [1] Shortly after Isa's father died, Aichi broke his betrothal. He did not desire her, as Isa was low-born, her mother a peasant. Yoshino challenged the Mirumoto, despite the illegal duel would bring dishonor over the Scorpion. The young samurai Shiba Kanshiro convinced Yoshino to select him as his champion. In a duel to first blood Aichi let him win, leaving Seppun Isa's honor intact. [3]
