Mariko "Lady-Tsubaki" Hannya

Personality
Mariko has been trained in the way of the courtesan many decades - if not centuries - ago and it has become part of who she is. Always polite and pleasant, yet never obtrusive. She has a soft, singing voice and never seem to lose her cool. Even if forced to battle - because she does know the art of war - she seems to keep afloat of the turmoil, her stance elegant and swift and her expression revealing nothing but grace and calm, if not for her eerily red eyes that brings to mind the fires of Hell.

The Camellia
Mariko rarely reveals her past. It is very, very far away and she cares little for it; not to mention it could scare off potential clients. What is known though, is that she's the owner of The Camellia, a pleasure establishment in Takayama, Japan, catering especially to those of the Secret World.

The Camellia offers services of entertainment to its clients and pride itself in its elegance. One may only wish to come to listen to the beautiful voices of their female and male singers, or see the grace of their dancers. Some even just come to find a sympathetic ear or just good company with a cup of exotic tea or expensive sake. Massages, erotic or not, and relaxing baths are also offered. Obviously, one can also reserve for a moment of pleasure with one of the female or male courtesan. All races and factions are welcome. The Camellia is neutral in the Secret War now ongoing.

If you want to just mention her or even use her establishment The Camellia in rp, feel free to do so. The Camellia doesn't have a fixed address oocly, it's 'somewhere in Takayama' and there is a magical barrier around it making people who pass by just 'not really notice' it's there. (Think Yoko's house in xxxHolic by Clamp) Secret Worlders who are especially looking for it though can see it. You can make up npc working there all you like, the place is rather big.

It's a high class establishment; there is no 'hookers' there that you pay for a quick thing. Usually clients reserve for a few hours if not a whole night for entertainment of all sorts. It's...
