Overview

Katsura is an awakened Shifter from Japan. Unfortunately Japan is not too friendly to Shifters. Fortunately, She made friends with a young girl who was the daughter of a Yakuza Lieutenant. Several years ago, she was smuggled out of Tokyo and into Seattle. She has since made a life for herself as a sword for hire. Recently she made contact with her old friend from Japan.

Katsura is an astral combat specialist that owes allegiance to no cause, but is loyal to her friends. Her distrust of strangers has kept her out of more permanent communities like Shadowhaven, or Neohaven. However she still does low threat Shadowrun jobs on the side. Inari Ōkami is her fixer. She follows the Stag mentor spirit.

GM tips

  • Katsura will not reveal to anyone that she is a shifter unless you already know this, or your loyalty is 4 or more.
  • She has a powerful illusion cast over her at all times by Inari Ōkami to make her look like an elf both physically and astrally. This can be broken on a run possibly, and should interact with the above bulletin appropriately.
  • In reference to her "Awakened Socialite" aspect, She is an 8 Charisma character and has attire for up to high society events.
