Bayushi Soruna

A major NPC in my Legend of the Five Ring game.

The name "Soruna" is not actually Japanese but a mangled version of the Spanish word "sorna", meaning "decapitation" in the English tongue.

She's loosely based off the main character in Kojima and Koike's Samurai Executioner manga, Decapitator Asaemon. Bayushi Soruna is the executioner for Ryoko Owari Toshi and niece to the Bayushi family's Opium Lord.

What's that in the bag, you say? Probably just smushed cherries.
