Yogo Asami (TCG)

Asami was farm girl who joined the Scorpion Clan as Yogo Asami. A Simple Test, by Mari Murdock
== Demeanor ==
Asami was afraid, incapable, tender, and sloppy. Courtly Nets and Hidden Snares, by Mari Murdock
== Kachiko's Double ==
Asami gained entrance into the Scorpion Clan through a marriage to a Yogo emissary, becoming Yogo Asami. The arrangement was made by Bayushi Aramoro, the half-brother of the Scorpion Champion Bayushi Shoju and yōjimbō to Shoju's wife, Bayushi Kachiko. Asami looked almost identical to Kachiko, becoming her body double. Aramoro had presented a newly widowed Yogo Asami to the Scorpion Clan Champion, Behind the Empty Throne, by Mari Murdock and she married Aramoro. The couple bore a son, who was cared at Kyūden Bayushi while both parents were stationed at distant Otosan Uchi. The secrecy of Asami's position prevented Aramoro from claiming him publicly. In 1123 Aramoro saved her life when he uncovered and cought Masao, an assassin sent to murder Kachiko. 
=== Uncovered ===
After disputing with Shoju in the aftermath of the Emperor Hantei the Thirty-Eighth's death, Kachiko had been exiled to Toshi Ranbo, far from the Imperial City of Otosan Uchi, and held under house arrest for treason. Caged Birds, by Katrina Ostrander Without Kachiko's daily companionship to guide her mannerisms and intonations, her facade was slipping. Eventually her weakness allowed the Imperial Chancellor Kakita Yoshi to learn that she was not Bayushi Kachiko, and that Aramoro had been involved in the assassination attempt against the Emerald Champion Akodo Toturi.
