Editing Crane Clan (section)

===Daidoji Family===
Descendants of Doji and Kakita's youngest child, and the manliest of the bunch. He went into the Shadowlands to find his sister, the Crane Thunder, and returned with her sword, as well as white hair and a nasty throat wound. In honor of his heroism, he was given the name Daidoji, meaning "protector of Doji", and many Crane would dye their hair white in his honor. Yes, the white-haired bishounen/bishoujo tradition comes from the Crane Clan's very own dirty tricks squad.

On the surface, the Daidoji are stern and composed guardians of Crane lands; where the others fight in the courts or in duels, they actually do honest-to-goodness fighting, and are tough enough to take all comers (to the surprise of anyone expecting a soft Crane to crumple like origami). But dig below that surface and you'll find that they'll do almost anything to win and protect their Clan: ambushes, traps, sneak attacks, explosives made from BLASPHEMOUS ''gaijin'' pepper, the Daidoji are masters of turning any potential battlefield into a devastating trap, using tactics that even more belligerent and/or pragmatic Clans find horrifying and dishonorable. 
And all of this is supported by another scandalously un-samurai skill of theirs: they are experts of trade and commerce, which is already supposed to be below a samurai's notice, and smuggling, which is below even that. But as a result, the Daidoji are able to supplement and protect the vast wealth of the Crane, keeping both their economic weapons and their actual weapons well-stocked. An economic role which the Crane, ironically, condemned their former members the Yasuki for doing.
