Appearance

Koharu is a very typical Doji; her face is fair yet kind, her appearance always clean and presentable, her figure in a kimono slender and feminine. However, in a family full of beauty she seems almost normal. Her features are so ordinary among the Doji that to outsiders she's practically indistinguishable from many of her family. In fact, she is sometimes even mistaken for other Doji. While pretty, she lacks any stand out feature that would make her individually recognisable. The unkind might say she is plain or bland, at least as much as a Doji can be. Overall Koharu is quite forgettable. She appears resigned to this fact for she avoids trying to desperately seek out attention for herself. In this way her underlying strength of will can be detected. She forgoes overly showy clothes, makeup or jewellery. Koharu instead adopts a minimal approach so that she can better concentrate her time and efforts on whatever it is that matters to her.

Yet life has a funny way of introducing change. In the last year her successes in Dragon's Guard City have given her some measure of fame. This has seen her begin to challenge long held preconceptions. While still relatively few in number, some have begun to recognise her and a handful even know of her deeds. It is a strange thing for a Doji who had given up on any measure of personal acclaim. Koharu is still battling with this realisation and what it means for her going forward. It is not a development she ever expected, and while many would be elated to be in her position the truth is that she does not truly feel comfortable. Perhaps she will learn to adapt and even more will change, or perhaps the increasing attention will cause her stress and harm her creativity? Each seems as likely as the other at this tipping point in her life. A point where there are marriage arrangements looming, new duties and responsibilities to learn and uphold, and a decision to make regarding her art and her future.

Public Knowledge [Lore: Heraldry - TN 20 by name or TN30 in person for more information]

A student of the House of the Shining Light, and near the end of her studies, Koharu has seemingly focused on furthering her knowledge of good behaviour. Nonetheless, when not minding herself she can be quite bitter and even snarky. Exactly why this is isn't known, but that could well be because so few care. The most important known detail about Doji Koharu isn't about herself, but who she is connected to: Doji Ayano, a rising art star who is becoming ever more popular in the last few years. Many seek to get to know her so they might secure a favour or better still a gift from Ayano, all the while speculating on what their relationship is. To most Koharu is simply the woman who acts as Ayano's spokesperson and gift presenter.

In the last year there have been some developments. Koharu has joined the Imperial Explorers and, somehow, been appointed the ill-defined position of Chief Taxonomist of the Imperial Explorers. The title suggests she is a minor functionary meant to lead with the organisation's efforts in regards to finding and documenting foreign flora and fauna. However, just what authority, privileges or powers this gives her is anyone's guess. It will likely be a niche she needs to carve out for herself with the assistance of her friends and allies. Alongside this, her name is better recognised, and along with it there is some talk of her own personal artistic achievements. However, these still pale in comparison to her friend and artistic star Doji Ayano, who continues to win the hearts and minds of samurai both within the Crane and beyond. Further proof of this is that while Koharu's name may be recognised, often she herself is not. Koharu has found there is a certain irony to being known by name and apparently respected or even admired, but having to prove she is who she says she is when she is actually met in person for the first time.

Hooks

- Did you go to the Kakita Academy or the House of Shining Light? Koharu did too. Perhaps we met there?
- Are you a fan of the star artist Doji Ayano's works? Well, Doji Koharu is a known contact to the elusive and mysterious Ayano! Do you wish to get in touch?
- Do you like art? So too does Koharu! She enjoys more than simply painting, such as sculpture, poetry, story writing and more.
- Are you a Crane? You may have met Koharu at a gathering or during court. Maybe you even visited one of Ayano's gallery displays and met Koharu there?
- Have you joined the Imperial Explorers? Then it's possible you have met the Chief Taxonomist already.
