Oyama Maru

Oyama Maru was born in 535 the middle child of Oyama Tsutomu. As a child she narrowly avoided death when she fell climbing the stairs to Sixty-Storms Island. She was saved when the Kami of the Air and Earth combined to soften her fall. From that point on her talent as a Shugenja was evident. In 554 at the completion of her Gempukku ceremony she was immediately promoted to head of the Sixty-Storms Shugenja school taking over from Oyama Sakurako who had never really enjoyed the position. Maru has since been arguably the best teacher since Yoritomo Oyama herself. Her kind, slow and delibirate nature reflects the balance she feels between Earth and Air. She remains head of the Shugenja school too this day.
