Miya Risa was the Spider Clan's Herald of the Dark Lord.
==Fall==
Miya Risa began life as a Miya historian. In her later years, she accompanied Lion forces into the Shadowlands to record the events of the Battle of Oblivion's Gate. Official records show that she fell and died with honor, but the truth was that she did not die. Masters of Court, p 144
==In service of a new Lord==
Risa survived her wounds, but she, like a number of other samurai who fell but survived in that battle, found that she could not return to the Empire, becoming one of the first of The Lost. In time, Fu Leng's blessing restored her youth, beauty and vigor. When Daigotsu first approached her, she was hesitant at first, but soon embraced his agenda whole heartedly, and he made her his herald.
Risa refused to take the Daigotsu family name though, saying that the Miya had served the Hantei Dynasty and Toturi Dynasty with loyalty and she would serve the Daigotsu Dynasty with the same loyalty. The once quiet, gentle woman before Oblivion's Gate had become hard and cruel, often striking to cripple rather than to kill. Her loyalty to Daigotsu was so great that she would assault the Kaiu Wall itself if ordered. Instead, she served as his messenger, traveling with unnatural speed.
