Natsuko Kani
Lady Natsuko Kani
The daughter of Junnosuke Kani, heiress to the Crab fortune
Physical Description
Facial Features
Natsuko would be considered a very attractive young girl by Hokkaidan beauty standards: apple cheeks with a slim jaw and chin, pouty lips, and a narrow nose- slightly upturned. One unusal habit she possesses, is that, whenever possible, she chooses to style her hair in a more Occidean fashion,-usually in a spiral braid- rather than the traditional Hokkaidan updo common among noble women.
Apparel & Accessories
Natsuko likes to accessorize in a more Occidean fashion as well, forgoing traditional gold or jade hairpins, and instead wearing ribbons and bows in her hair.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Natsuko grew up in Port Minato, and so has had a much more metropolitan upbringing than other Hokkaidan girls her age. She spent much of her youth exploring her home city and wishing to travel across the Sea of Zheng He to see the continent, or perhaps even the West.
A few years ago, when her older brother Shunso was due to be married to a Boar princess, she met Hiro Kanamori and his family. She and Hiro became fast friends. She now resides in Kokei-Sho, awaiting the liberation of Port Minato so that she and her family might return home.
Natsuko has never been terribly close with her brother Shunso, and given the way the Laozi occupation of her hometown has gone, she has even more reason to dislike him: Shunso sold his family out and became a puppet governor of Port Minato on behalf of the Laozi occupation.
Education
Natsuko was reared like most Hokkaidan noble women: to be prime candidates for arranged marriages between clans, and improve their families' economic and social standing. Natsuko learned just enough fine poetry to recite for gatherings of nobles, she learned an instrument to perform for guests (though that instrument was an Occidean harp, rather than a traditional Hokkaidan instrument), and she learned at the feet of her mother how to plan for said gatherings- all skills a Hokkaidan man would value in a potential wife.
However, living in Port Minato exposes one to myriad cultures besides that of the Hokkaidan nobility, and Natsuko has taken to most of it with great passion. Her love of Qanuni textile work, Vedic cooking, and even Occidean dress has given her a much broader sense of the world than most Hokkaidan princesses might have- much to the chagrin of her parents. She is still a bit too young to arrange a marriage for her, and especially considering the most recent attempt at marrying into the Boar clan was rather disastrous, her parents have not yet approached any of the Hokkaidan nobles with a marriage proposal for her.
