Yukiko

(OOC: Sadly the original story got lost in the forum crash. Only the last post got saved. I will write a short recap of what happened before the last post, and then carry on from there.)

Yukiko grew up as the only child of the samurai Kuto and his wife Chiyome. Kuto early on descided that Yukiko should be trained up to become a samurai aswell, and carry on the familly tradition. The familly's first encounter with "western" people was a knight that was exploring the tokunian islands. Kuto was intrigued by the strange ideals that the knight followed, and the power they seemed to grant him.

When Yukiko grew older she was sent off to learn the ways of the warriors in the strange lands that the knight had come from. Hopefully it would also teach her to become a bit more humble. When she was ready she was to return to Tokuno to finnish her training to become a samurai. Only when she was a full samurai would she be allowed to carry the swords. So she chose to learn to fight with a bow, and joined the Royal Marksmen.

Soon she found out that her mother also had been sent to these strange lands. Finally she found her and they had a long talk. And our story continues after that
