Agasha Maiko was an air shugenja of the Phoenix Clan who studied in an Isawa school. She was appointed to govern Zumiki-mihari, the watchtower that stood watch over the Otomo lands. The former Isawa caretaker quickly surrendered his position to her when he saw that she was far better than he at gathering information on the Otomo. Maiko was terse, secretive, and manipulative.
