Soshi Kiyo, or Snowflake, was a kitsune spirit who entered the mortal realm in the winter of 1158. To be allowed into Rokugan by the Lady of the Forest she had to take three taboos. The first was to never be touched by the elemental magic of a shugenja. The second was to always answer a question with a question and the third was to marry within a year and marry a good man.
