Background:
Their father was a practitioner of the rare and powerful magics of Ishiken-do, the way of the Void. Eager to pass on his gift he engaged in unsanctioned experiments to allign himself and his family to the Void. 
In this, he was unsuccessful, although the magic certainly had some effect upon them. 
They both have straight black hair, fair skin and one yellow eye and one brown eye. They both wear a half mask on the side of their face with the unnaturally coloured eye and hansom features. 
Hisen is a capable Shugenja, but a reluctant one who has never shown a trace of potential for Void magic, but is skilled in all of the other elements. Though he does not like the prayer and meditation and would much rather be a Bushi. He's brash and confident where his sister is quiet and retiring. His left eye is the yellow one.
Nariko on the other hand has no natural aptitude with communing with the Kami. However she has a deep love and fascination with the spirits and resents not being born able to speak with them and has grumpily accepted her place as a Bushi in the Shiba school. Her right eye is the yellow one. 
Since their last meeting, they have stuck together Nariko ostensibly acting as HIsen's bodyguard, but in reality they often swap appearances and Nariko has developed a knack for spell design including one that allows her brother to let her see the kami for the first time. 
They have come to Ryoko Owari on business.
