Masekeri was a lovely maiden, very pleasant to see. She had a warm laugh, and a genuine friendliness to her conversations. Masekari's eyes were blue, a trait she inherited from her mother, though her skin and hair were dark. Winter Court: Kyuden Seppun, p. 110

Masekari was daughter of Seppun Guri and Seppun Toseriko. When she was an infant, Toseriko died from a rare and untreatable disease called ogugai. Masekari was raised by the family's servant Hojiki. Winter Court: Kyuden Seppun, p. 109
== Betrothed ==
At the age of eight she learned that Doji Shogo was her groom-to-be, and the date for the wedding would be after Masekari's gempukku. When she was fourteen many expected Masekari would come to age, but her teachers disagreed and informed she would have to wait two years before her gempukku. Winter Court: Kyuden Seppun, pp. 109-110

The wedding happened at Otosan Uchi and Masekari recovered the happiness she has lost during the unexpected two years of waiting. The first son, Doji Ogoru was born two years after the marriage, and a daughter four years later. Winter Court: Kyuden Seppun, pp. 110-111
== Suitor ==

Since his disappearance, a Scorpion courtier and Shogo's brother-in-law, Bayushi Akeu, took a strong interest in Masekeri and people began to spread gossip he was her suitor. The rumors were even stronger when word that Shogo had died arrived. 
== Handmaiden ==
In 1125 Masekari was the handmaiden at times of the Emperor's wife, Bayushi Kachiko, a position which conferred on her father a great deal of
prestige. Winter Court: Kyuden Kakita, pp. 84-85
