Ashida no Ayame is a lone travelling artisan. Her skills often render her quite personality, as well as her quick wit go along with her brush skills. Her history is dark, and confusing even sometimes to her. She often write poetry to let her emotions flow through her.

As the seasons changed on the island of oki, she always in the spring went on a long journey back to her homeland of kamakura, to visit that place where all of her childhood still remained. On that faithful spring day crossing the ocean to get the mainland, her ship sailed off course. A Typhoon raged. She was cast into the waters...Only some time later when she woke, she realized she wasn't in Japan anymore. This strange new place was full of interesting new people and places to see. And, with that, she found her belongings (some were a little wet...) and walked for many many miles. Until, finally, she reached Lionsdale.

Now in An Tir, so many new and strange things ing her dailylife, she never has anytime to do all of the things she would like to do! Some of her most recent include: Reading the laws/history/culture of An Tir, Painting Charters for Kingdom awards, Marshalling Heavy combat, Running Lists, Dancing, Heraldry, Arts and Sciences, Creating period garments, researching culture of Japan.

Some great milestones that she will always remember are:

Asked to be Lady Elspeth Selwode of Wilton's Lady in Waiting
Invited to become Her Ladyship Genevieve d'Claurviux's first student
Her first clinton war (her best event so far)
Being tested as a Courtier of Lions Gate, even though she had only been in An Tir for a little over a Year
Having gained the companionship of new friends from close and afar

Currently, Ayame lives besides the house of oranges, and often visits the barony of Lions Gate to badger the Baron and Baroness. She does heraldry research for the gentles of the shire in her spare time, and paints devices as well.

-Ayame was born into a family of well-known individuals. Her father (Ashida no Masayoshi) specialized in making katana and dai-katana for the head samurai at kamakura. Her grandmother (fathers's mother, Ashida Tsuzune) was a famous herblist. Her grandfather (mothers father, Ito no Kazuhiro) before he died was a buddhist priest. Her mother (Ito Tomoe) before giving birth to Ayame and dying, was a very profitable artisan, selling pottery, baskets, and the like. When Ayame was growing up she enjoyed many things: practicing Kyudo (the way of the bow), painting, playing music on her shakuhachi, and reading zen buddhist scriptures.

She took his name, and the complete name in full Ashida no Ayame, because she is the last of her clan and the name Ashida. This occured after her village was burned to the ground, where it stood close to kamakura. The reason for the destruction was the samurai of Ashikaga Takauji, headed for kamakura to overthrow the shogun there. Anything in their path that had to do with the regiment there, they destroyed. Unfortunatly it was Ayame's father and grandmother that were killed in the attack.
