The twins of the Crane general were celebrated in the Habana household. After their mother tried for years and even took a blade to the stomach from an intruder it was feared she might never be able to and despite recommendations to take a new wife... the husband stayed loyal. A trait that he passed onto his children as after a visit from a begger who was treated to food and wine... the wife found herself healed and with twins. Testing proving it was the husbands children which brought the attention of the Emperor Genji who sent his chief investigator Sosakan-Sama Unaga Ike to find the begger... she couldn't on the entire planet and following up everywhere.. the man had just vanished. When they were born it was considered a miracle and from a young age they excelled in most activities from sports to dueling to math and sciences.
They continued and into the war they were protected being taken offworld with several heirs to important families under the protection of the Chief investigators daughter and son. A far flung colony world would protect them and the war continued with many more being killed but eventually the one sith disappeared and what remained was those remnants under a warlord who proclaimed to control the Commonwealth. The crane general along with the Swan, Stormcloud and Fiendfire. Genji's friend was than sent to accompany two others. To the North.. they were being exiled and her loyalty to the emperor as well as the families would serve well enough should the whispers at court of rebellion happen... at worse. The best reason was she could protect them until he was able to bring them back without looking weaker.
When the emperor Genji fell in battle, coming to the defense of Tamakatsura Ryozen who would become the Emperor of the Golden Flowers and Akikonomu Utsukushi-Sa who would become later the Empress of Rice Wine and mother of the Sansin. For her loyalty and friendship Sadako was raised to Crane General and her family elevated. The twins continued to survive and were secreted aaway from the world with others to protect them. Many of the generals being in charge of protecting the royal heirs as the emperor and empress were not going to send their children away when others would still be on the planet. A mistake in hindsight but at the time as Tama was establishing himself in the war as the new emperor he had prepared many things.... most importantly was bringing all of the division and questions to a head under him as they fought.
The twins wouldn't see the war but they would be there for the return and aftermath... coming back to the world with education and training that they could apply as their mother with the other general brought a peace to Atrisia. The war was over but they still had a great deal of recovery to do and there was still those loyal to the offworlders who would sell them out... the warlord remaining around the galaxy and returning from time to time to laay claim but he was rebuffed and fought off. Culminating in a wall fo light at Jar'Kai purifying it of the daarkside and the twins were abel to see it from orbit as the CIS, Atrisian and allied fleets fought the sith forces. Overtaking them.
Shoma Ike
was named the heir to the emperor after his own children were killed as punishment.The twins saw their education continue and they worked under their parents who were rebuilding the region. Meeting the generals of Fiendfire and better as they met one their own age. The future Swan General who had remained on the world but was around their age at first. They grew up together and formed a strong bond with the new princess Junko as castles and palaces were rebuilt with evacuation centers and supplies in them that would allow the villages, cities and towns to flood and stay in there in the event of a siege. With food, water recycling and ways to clean the air in a more self contained area. Yui developed the skills and was named the future crane general by her mother but her brother was more than happy for that. Taking the position as second in command at first but than under ideas from Junko and the emperor.
THey switched... or in some ways Yui became dissociated with the military... in truth she was the general overseeing things and even leading special forces. her brother was in public the leader and in the event of attack would be there to take attention away from her in the event of torture or death threats. It allowed her a way to see the wider picture of her forces and work on better ways to develop their skills as she was noted for her healing herbs as much as she was noted for cultivating poisons. The special squad skilled with poisoned blades and rumors that they were composed of children from other nobles in the Commonwealth who were not able to be recognized for their status and parents not being with the lord or lady. THey worked with the other generals and with the princess to secure much of Atrisia's future.
