Kakita Ryoku, Elder Crane
Descrição
The honorable and elegant Kakita Ryoku is among the most distinguished—and dangerous—individuals one is likely to meet in Kyūden Doji. Her novel, Winter, has instructed entire generations of courtiers, and is rumored to be a record of her romantic relationships. Up until recently, she served the Emperor Hantei XXXVIII as his Imperial Advisor. Now that she has been released from her duties, she has returned to Kyūden Doji; the other heart of political power in Rokugan. Here she continues to weave her careful webs of intrigue, gossip, and influence.
Lady Ryoku’s age has only made her more elegant and dignified. On the one hand, she strives for perfect politeness and protocol in everything. On the other hand, she is of such high status and glory that she can essentially say whatever she pleases, and no one can gainsay her without looking a fool. She particularly enjoys the clever turn of phrase, or a sudden blunt statement (especially if her audience is aghast at hearing such language come from the mouth of such a dignified elder).
