Here are my hooks if anyone wants to pre-connect.

[Shoji Haka]

Haka hasn't really been beyond Shoji lands before, but if you're a Shoji, you might have heard of her being a haunted hermit shaman.

[Seppun Takako]

Takako has been in Seppun/Stag lands her whole life, but her marriage was a bigish deal, being one of the first inter-clan marriages. Maybe you were there?

Also, she's interested in weapons. all kinds really.

[Jin Mizuku]

Still finishing up the character sheet and bio, but Nashi of the Shoji here is a cattle herder and I'd like her to have an obligation to someone as her reason for joining up with this whole shebang if possible. I can find another reason, but I like the idea of her superstitious butt being dragged into saving a Kami because she owed someone a massive favor. Best reasons for owing someone: they saved the life of a family member or the livestock she helps protect and tend, they helped feed the tribe and her immediate family directly during a drought, they protected her/her family/livestock from a bandit raid that she couldn't handle alone.

She hasn't really left the lands around the Shoji Tribe's home too much, but she doesn't frequent the deeper forest because the livestock are generally too scared to go there. Which means she's had more chance to interact with those who have passed by or through the lands for any reason since the Kami fell.

Muzuku is a healer for both humans and animals. If you haven't found another connection yet it's possible that during one of her journeys while gathering as much knowledge about the art of medicine that she came across your farm, and even if you were not able to pay much she has a kind heart despite how she tries to hide it. She would have snuck out at night at healed your animals even if her superior didn't want her to because of the lack of payment. Just an idea! DM me if you like it!
