==History==
Shiso was born an only child in a small family in a family of inugami authors so she was very lonely child with no siblings and few cousins. With nothing to do  she usually asked her parents and went out wandering in the forest. One day she wandered into the kitsune territory and found a teapot. Being a curious kid, she approached the teapot. Out of the teapot a spirit emerged from it. It took the form of a white kitsune with gold talismans placed on its ears. Shiso knew talismans the creature was sealed away into this small form. Shiso was interested by this spirit so she gave it a small wave and the spirit gave it a small wave back.but just as the two were introducing each other a few kitsune walked into the clearing, scaring the creature back into its teapot. When the kitsune saw her, they escorted her back to the inugami but this didn’t stop her from returning. So around when she got her element. She asked her parents for permission to wander again and when she got the green light, She went back to see this mysterious creature. She managed to get back to the location of the teapot and interacted with it again. The creature emerged from the teapot again. Shiso began to talk to the spirit. The spirit listened there too her, without doing anything bad to her. To shiso it seemed like a friendly spirit, but she still kept caution around it. She continued to talk to the spirit until she had to begin heading back home. She said goodbye to the spirit and headed back home. Shiso continued to visit this spirit and spend time with it. Before she continued though, she decided to test if it was a good spirit or not. She used her spirit element as she had learned in her classes. She made a circle with her spirit magic and tapped placed her hand through the circle. This was an old method that only worked on small animals and spirits alike, only the spirit herald could use it on real people. So she grabbed through the spirit and found the aura of a good spirit, with a little underlying evil. Shiso assumed that that was what the talismans were for, keeping this spirit a good one. She was very happy that she wasn’t being decided and then began to talk with the spirit again. The two became friends after her many visits to the spirit, and the two of them began to gain each other’s trust. One visit though, the kitsune found her again. Before they could confront her about it they watched in awe as Shiso played with the spirit so freely. It was like she had tamed it. Then the kitsune confronted her. The kitsune explained the origins of this spirit, and how dangerous this creature once was. They were very surprised that she had managed to tame it. Shiso was very surprised by this, and she was even more flabbergasted that she had managed to tame this dangerous creature.The kitsune then told her that she was the one destined to meet this spirit, and took her to meet Kokomi, with the teapot in hand. She talked to Kokomi, and she did the ultimate test on the spirit. Kokomi told her that as long as it has its talismans on it’s a harmless spirit. Shiso asked the Herald if she could keep the teapot. Kokomi responded with, as long as she would come to them every month to renew its talismans she should be alright to do so. Shiso thanked Kokomi and took the teapot on her way home. Her parents didn’t mind the spirit, but the rest of the inugami thought that this spirit was an act of infiltration by the Kitsune. So this was taken into account by the elected council at the time. They came to the decision that she needed to get rid of this or she would be exiled. She didn’t want to get rid of it, so she was then exiled from the inugami territory. She fled to the kitsune and spoke to Kokomi once again. She asked the kitsune for hospitality here due to her exile and after some persuasion she managed to get her approval, untill the exile was lifted. She thanked her and began to live there. She started to pick up the hobby of making tea. She began to start experimenting and making new blends with the help of her tea spirit. Kokomi suggested she started selling them. So she did and it ranked up a lot of popularity among the kitsune, especially her self titled Shiso tea. Kokomi introduced her to the rest of the heralds and let them try some of her tea. It was a hit with them. They liked it so much that they would put in a good word for her, and this is what started her wandering tea trade business. Her tea was a big hit and she soon became the number one supplier for tea worldwide. Safir was her biggest buyer and Aurora was closest to her. Aurora was so close to her that she gave her the lesser heraldship of nightmares. Around this time Marissa lifted her exile and allowed her to start trading tea back in the inugami. Shiso survived the war but Yasumu did not.
