Tansho had a rapier tongue and tendency to intrude into others' business. She was apprenticed to Kuni Masami, an adventurous shugenja who traveled throughout the Empire. During this time Tansho developed a taste for adventure and excitement. After her gempukku she was a wandering Witch Hunter whose primary goal was to see as much of the world as possible.

== Married ==
During a winter she met Kuni Utagu, Jade Champion and Kuni Daimyo. Utagu and Tansho stumbled onto a cell of Bloodspeakers led by the legendary maho-tsukai Mohai who had killed a Kuni Shugenja and replaced him with one of their own. They destroyed the cell and killed all of the cultists save Mohai himself. A month later, they were married.
