Shizu Nagara

B a c k g r o u n d
Shizu is the eldest child of Countess Nagara, and the
named heir of the House. From a young age she has
been drilled in the ways of rulership and statecraft
so she might be ready at any moment to assume the
responsibilities of leadership. For her own protection
she has also been highly trained in all manner of fighting
arts. The enemies of House Nagara would dearly love to
spill her blood, and if they try, she will make them pay for
every drop.

TALENTS
COOL UNDER PRESSURE (BATTLE)
When the situation gets tough, you take a deepbreath and get the job done.
When you attempt a test using Battle, before rolling you may spend a Determination point to automatically succeed at that test, but you generate no Momentum. The normal conditions for spending Determination still apply.
SUBTLE STEP
You’re well-versed in methods of avoiding notice, and you reveal little that you do not intend to.
When you attempt a Move test to sneak or otherwise pass unseen through an area, or when you attempt to move an asset subtly during a
conflict, the first extra d20 you purchase for the test is free.
THE SLOW BLADE
The slow blade pierces the shield. You’re well-versed in the subtle ways of avoiding an opponent’s defenses.
When you make an attack during a duel or a skirmish using a melee weapon, and you buy one or more dice by spending Momentum, you may choose one of the enemy’s assets in the same zone as your attack; you can ignore that asset during your attack.
Assets
Your father’s rapier (long blade):
the ancestral blade of House Nagara.

Secrets:
My character is the oldest, the first heir. I am smart, capable, driven. But my mother and I fight often, we hardly get a long. What others don't know is that things have been getting more dramatic. She's been challenging me, demanding I step up her expectations. Jiro is the beloved one, but I've been under a lot of stress because I feel like I've been failing her.

I've been away from the group for about a month, helping my mother on Arrakis. But I've had even more trouble fulfilling my role, since I just haven't been able to successfully connect with the locals. I've been trained to lead, but they seem to smell the royalty on me, and keep calling me "Harkkonen trash". It's been such a problem that she sent me back to train with the others on Gedd

I've also been hiding a secret. While on Arrakis, I've started the beginning of a spice addiction. I've needed the higher empathy, faster processing, and razor-sharp movement. But lately the addiction part has taken a deeper hold, and without it, I seem to be more sluggish without.
