Shosuro Sanae

Please note: This article is about the Go Master. For other uses of the term, please see Sanae (disambiguation).
Shosuro Sanae was a Go Master of the Scorpion Clan.
== Appearance and Demeanor ==
Sanae usually wore a full face mask that showed only her eyes and mouth. She was a
charming conversationalist, but her glib tongue hid an underlying inner conflict, 
and possessed a deep underlying cynicism toward humanity. Despite it she sought out people who could sustain a more idealistic outlook for conversation. Sanae could be an outstanding friend, or a terrifying enemy. Emerald Empire: The Essential Guide to Rokugan, p. 42
== Go Master ==
Less than a decade past her gempuku, Shosuro Sanae was recognized as one of the top Go players in Rokugan. She regularly traveled around the Empire to represent her clan in tournaments for the game. 
=== Framed ===
In 1123 Sanae attended a Go tournament at Kyūden Bayushi, meeting there her longtime rival Kitsuki Taizo. At a key moment in the tournament, Taizo fell deathly ill, apparently the victim of a poisoning attempt, and the Dragon delegation blamed Sanae as the culprit. A group of samurai exposed the actual poisoner, another tournament participant who was an obsessive rival of Kitsuki Taizo and had hoped to both dispose of him and cast the blame on Sanae and the Scorpion Clan.
