Guild Director Adirali

Heroic Mortal

  • Jade Companion of the House of Sensuous Laughter
  • Registered Courtesan of House V'neef
  • Bond Companion of Guild Director Umokoyu Adirali
  • While the players may suspect Purple Blossom is just a persona made up by Nejimaru the truth is that Purple Blossom is an actual person
    • She really was, technically still is, the concubine of V’neef Aliset – the youngest Exalt of House V’neef.
      • While Aliset originally loved Purple Blossom deeply, as she matured she started to gain more attraction towards masculine qualities, soon Aliset outgrew her homosexuality entirely.
    • Using his identity as Guild Director Umokoyu Adirali, Nejimaru “borrowed” Purple Blossom cheaply from Aliset – a dozen talents of jade and promises of mutual assistance.
      • Now Nejimaru has a registered Companion at his beck and call – one who is still marked as Companion of House V’neef.
  • Bonded to the elusive Guild Director Adirali1, Purple Blossom nonetheless was given extreme freedom by her new master. What others do not know is that more often than not public appearance of this famous courtesan is actually Nejimaru in disguise.
  • Lady Purple Blossom does not know her “Adirali” is actually the "Dead" scion of House Mnemon – Nejimaru.
    • She knows of Nejimaru and his infamous reputation of excess while he was “alive,” she never met him personally.
      • She also does not know the man she is bond to is actually an Anathema. Should that day come to pass it would be a difficult choice for her.
        • Lady Purple Blossom is a faithful of the Realm's Immaculate Philosophies
          • She has the "Priest" Merit for the Immaculate Faith
        • She would still side with Nejimaru - but she will be torn.
  • She is still faithfully following Adrali's last command - To assume his identity so no one knows he is on a secret mission
    • Adrali disappeared without a trace and there has been no communications in the last 2 years.
    • Combined with the unusual step of having her hold his seal, Lady Purple Blossom have suspected the worst
    • Her fears were confirmed when the Anathema envoy of the Bull of the North confirmed that the 2 Solar associates of her master is also dead
    • She however has not given up hope, and many prayers and sacrified were laid to the Great Elemental Dragons for Adrali's safety.
    • She has not contemplated following her master to the reincarnation cycle, but she would once Adrali's death is confirmed
