PERSONAL HISTORY
1.0. The Wild Crane Princeling
Born Shirasagimaru Zuru, the boy who would become the feared Xian Zuru - the iron willed Crane Lord of Zuruhara - began his life has a rogue princeling. Frequently known for being disobedient and brazen, he would often play tricks on his instructors and challenge the senior students to fights. Perhaps being the fourth son, and up for inheriting none of the Zuru Crane Clan honors, he had decided instead to become a master of music, trouble, and wandering - than the traditional virtues of a noble Yovshin Swordsmen.
However, in his troublemaking th
e natural talents he had as a fighter began to appear. After one instance of coxing a princeling of the royal house of Atrisia into a fight, he managed to defeat him and the servants who followed to punish him. It became clear to his elders that the Wild Crane of the Zuru had talents, but, none of his older brother's virtues.
It is during this time that Shirasagimaru would met Osakura Kurogane (who would later become the Jedi Master
Zanza Hijikata
). The two would become friends quickly and Osakura's influence on Shirasagimaru was profound. Despite born a girl, she was born with a vigor and ferocity that made most of the noble born boys weep. She found Shirasagimaru's rogue and wild attitude annoyinga nd often chastized him for it. In the end it wasn't his own father or elder brothers that tamed the Wild Crane. It was the young maiden from the Kurogane Clan.
