Character Description

Inari is a small woman, usually found carrying a sanxian about with her. Generally speaking, she dresses and acts in a number of different ways, most designed to heighten her charm and grace, and downplay any hints of her underlying strength.

Backstory: Inari was trained from a very young age as an assasin by a branch of House Cynis, who purchased her as a slave. As she aged, growing in skill, her employers began to worry that, if her loyalty ever turned, she would seek to destroy them. Ultimately, after sending her on increasingly dangerous missions, they betrayed her to one of her targets, to ensure her death.
Instead, she Exalted, and after killing her target, returned and killed the Cynis who had been using her as a weapon. Deciding to continue to survive the only way she knew how, Inari created the alias of Empty Heaven, and began to sell her services as a skilled assasin. Her first assignments went very well, and now she makes her way to Zeretan. Encountering Hayyoth in the desert, she recognized his nature and brought him with her, reasoning that another Solar could be a valuable companion in the times to come...

Expanded Backgrounds:
Artifact: The Sanxian Strings. Disguised as an ordinary sanxian, this weapon is a clever work of artifice. With a twist, the top detaches, and the strings curl through the air like a flail. The strings are orichalcum, with all the benefits that this entails. The strings can be used as part of a clinch, but lose their accuracy and damage bonuses if they do so.
(Power Combat) Speed +5, Accuracy +3, Damage +4L, Defense +1, Rate 6. Orichalcum. Attunement cost 4.
Influence: Inari's influence is a reflection of Empty Heaven's reputation. She can only access it as Empty Heaven; on the other hand, she is safe from any retribution that it may cause as long as her identity is not known.
Resources: Inari's money comes from the fees that Empty Heaven charges for her services, and from her secondary dancing career.

In second edition, the stat line for the sanxian strings is:
Speed 4, Accuracy +3, Damage +4L, Defense +1, Rate 3. Orichalcum. Attunement cost 4.
This includes the orichalcum bonuses.
