Character Information

Summary

Rafflesia is an ex-Shigeda-gumi Yakuza who was ousted from the rest of the clan after the assassination of it's head. She spends her days as a butler at the Victoria Cafe, a high class cafe in Downtown Seattle. She is professional to a fault. Seeking revenge and to re-establish a more progressive branch of Yakuza, she has bode her time, her vengefulness stewing for many years. Victoria Cafe also sends her to do less legal jobs for high paying clients, shadowrunning for her own benefit as well as the cafe's.

Goals

Re-establish the Shigeda-gumi by taking revenge on the Kanaga-gumi, the branch who arose out of the Shigeda-gumi's demise and kicked out the women and non-humans.

Background

Chizuru Hayasaka was the daughter of Japanese and Korean immigrants to Seattle, her father being heavily involved in the Yakuza. Her father, having a child now, tried to move further and further away from any Yakuza activity and eventually abandoned the game after a large fight with his oyabun. As Chizuru grew up, she became more and more interested in her father's past business, culminating in a day when they came to kill him for abandoning the clan when she was 18. She instead offered herself, which the gangers agreed to. She became a heavily trusted member of the Shigeda-gumi in her life, though she never saw her parents again, until their head was assassinated and the Kanaga-gumi splintered off and left the women and non-humans. She never forgave them for this, and stewed in her hatred for years and years... until she met an old women who was also in the Shigeda-gumi, and was running an operation out of a cafe in Downtown to try and get by. Chizuru became the star butler there, her professional personality making her an excellent fit for serving and doing illegal activities for clients.
