Resident history
Born into a respected samurai family, Emi showed no interest in sword fighting. Instead, she was drawn to the monks who sat in silent meditation at the temple. Even as a child, she exhibited an exceptional sense of peace and balance, and her father recognized that she was not destined to be a warrior. At the age of ten, she was brought to the Tatsumi clan’s temple, where she began studying Zen under Juna’s guidance. At first, she struggled to free herself from worldly distractions, but over time, she developed a deep connection with silence and self-awareness. Today, she is considered one of the clan’s most promising Zen disciples, and many believe she will one day become a great spiritual teacher.
