One model, one card, 30mm base. Ayame was known for her beauty long before becoming a Rose, her ability to manipulate people into doing her “Favours” was noticed early and the Gumi made her an offer. In Bushido, taking objectives and controlling zones is dangerous and difficult.The Roses of the Silvermoon Trade Syndicate simply get the enemy to do it for them! Ayame exemplifies the Rose abilities and offers more options to those Jade Rose players to make an all-rose list.

The head of the Jade Rose has always been the Hanami, Queen of Flowers, the identity of the Queen is never known, for the Roses never go by a real name from the moment they join the sisterhood of the Jade Rose. Despite there having been many Hanamis over the years one thing remains constant, she is always the most beautiful and attractive woman in the Jwar Isles, or even the whole of the Golden Empire. She is the embodiment of grace as she moves sensually, almost gliding, drawing all but the strongest of wills under her thrall, toying with them, a cat with mice, unescapably trapped by her bewitching allure. Those lucky or unlucky enough to receive a Kiss from the Rose are known to lose control of their actions entirely, impotent to her will.

The Jade Rose's reach stretches far beyond the city of Jima. It is difficult to find an individual in a position of power, man or women who hasn't tasted or been tempted by the sweet smell and charms of a beautiful rose. No one knows exactly the training techniques that the Jade Rose implements and many suggest that there charisma and manipulative powers are supernatural and the result of some powerful enchantment. Of course no Rose would ever disclose this information such is their devotion to the Gumi. Saki is as master at the art of suggestion, without uttering a word she can draw the attention of any unlucky enough to be selected for her wiles, stumbling blindly after her even in the heat of battle.

From where he came from and who he is a mystery to all in the Kage Kaze Zoku save for the grand master. He never speaks and is never seen without his mask, it seems to the rest of his fellow shadow crows that he neither has need to eat nor sleep, spending most of his time on the training fields. None would ever consider questioning his place amongst them though. The word of the grand master is unquestioned and beside that fact the man fights like a demon.

Regarded by many within the clan as the most fearsome shadow crow in battle. Katsumi is a weapons master, with a relish for utilizing any at his disposal to spill the blood of those that oppose the Kage Kaze Zoku. He became an adept at an incredibly young age, his squad formed with little of the meticulousness of others. His fellow worms intimidated into joining him and in truth they weren’t ready. Katsumi led them in an open and frontal attack on an adept, of some experience, his bloody assault lasting mere moments as the members of his squad looked on. They didn’t last long as adepts, their weaknesses obvious to the worms that remained. Katsumi however was never the subject of an attack by a worm squad, his fearsome reputation well-earned and unquestioned.

Kouhei, like many from the House of the Long Shadow, prefers to operate from the darkness. His eyes, as sharp as an owl's, give him a distinct advantage in the night. Even as an adept Kouhei's ability to hide and move silently were noted by his superiors and more than one worm squad’s attack on him ended when they simply couldn’t find him. Having honed his skills on the dark side of 'The Nest' Kouhei completes most tasks equally well in light or darkness. For those that do come into contact with Kouhei, death is often quick and from the shadows.

They assumed she was destined, despite her promise, to join the ranks of the Genin. Little did they know Shizuka was merely biding her time.

It is certain that members of any squad he is part of are glad to have him and his carefully selected assortment of items along with them.

Modest, humble and absolutely terrified a Neophyte really has no place on the battlefield... but devout warriors of the Hundred Kingdoms are often accompanied by one nonetheless. Capable of providing final rites and shriving the troops of their sins, the presence of a neophyte does little for the battle effectiveness of the troop, but does mark them as devout in the eyes of their general and gods. 1 Resin Miniature, 1 x 27mm plastic base, 1 iCard
