Shisato (SHEE-sah-toh)[1] was an orochi renegade known for her cunning and ruthlessness. She hunted Dosan's monks.[2][1] Her venom was so strong that a few drops could kill another orochi.[3]

History

When Shisato came of age, it was time for her to choose a tribe, and the warrior caste was the obvious choice.[3] As was tradition, she had to prove her worth through ritual combat. But when she killed her opponent instead of just besting him, she touched off a chain of vendettas. Four orochi warriors fought her to avenge their fallen kin, and Shisato slew all four. Shisato’s venom could kill another orochi in just a few drops, preventing her from participating in the Kashi tribe's rituals.

Shisato was never welcomed by the tribe, although its leader Sosuke acknowledged that she was a skilled hunter and killer.[3] She was simply too ruthless and too deadly; the other orochi feared and distrusted her. Over the years, Shisato grew bitter and lonely and ventured further from the orochi colonies. Eventually, she began to hunt bigger prey: the Jukai Forest’s human monks.[2][1]
