Yusrah was born different. A tiny and crippled infant she never grew properly, and her family sold her to a traveling show before she could speak. The traveling entertainers raised her, and eventually arranged a tour of Rokugan under the aegis of the Unicorn Clan.
While visiting Ryoko Owari, Yusrah discovered opium, and her
habit became so bad so quickly that her fellow entertainers
decided to abandon her when they moved on. Alone in a strange
country, Yusrah took a great risk - a risk that paid off.
Since she's under three feet tall Yusrah
is able to hide in tiny spaces where no one would think to look.
She hid herself under the floorboards of a brothel and was lucky
enough to blackmail a few prominent merchants.
