== Heir ==
Tsukiko first selected Usagi Shun as her heir, instead of her own son, Usagi Asao. When Shun had brought two hares home on her gempuku, Tsukiko had named Shun her yōjimbō at once, and her heir soon after. On his coming of age Asao returned with no hare on his hands. We Strike First, by Lisa Farrell
== Tainted ==
Several years ago a mahō-tsukai had escaped Maemikake, and his chase was stopped by the Kuni Witch Hunters after they eventually found a twisted corpse they believed to be their quarry, who had succumbed to the perils of his own dark arts, closing the matter. In 1123 Tsukiko led a military force to Bramble Thorn Village, an Hiruma village which was in the direction taken by the mahō-tsukai when he fled, to root out the evil of maho, expecting to find what the Kuni Hunters missed. Eventually her forces defeated and killed to a man a Crab patrol led by Hiruma Kenzou which interferred with her mission. Tsukiko had been seriously injured during the skirmish, and she might walk again, but she had been robbed of her speed. Tsukiko willingly accepted to be restored to health by Jun, the local leader who was also the fleeing mahō-tsukai. The Hare daimyō became tainted in the presence of Shun, who ran instead to confront her daimyō. Tsukiko appointed her son Asao as the new heir.
