Sachiko Shiawese
The "power behind the throne" in House Shiawese. Shiawese's lands were thought to be poor at first, but Sachiko masterminded the construction of several forges and the recruitment of several blacksmiths. Now, Shiawese arms and weapons supply hte other daimyo as well as Xsia's Imperial armies.
She's had to do this while working almost entirely through her husband, Katsumori Shiawese, as women have the legal status of property in Lo-Xsia.
