Life is a Series of Different Roles to Play
Jetta Yoshiyoto has went through many changes, as have most people. She's gone...
From Servant...
A woman takes a job in a noble house, becoming a servant in order to ensure the safety of her fatherless child. This was the start of the life of Jetta Yoshiyoto. Raised to be a servant herself she watched in amazement, caught in the wonder of the way of life led by Zen Basho.
At the age of eleven she stepped forward, entering the office of the master of the home unbidden. Her request was to train at his side and he granted it on one condition. She would be bound to his son as his teacher, his guide and his protector till either she, or he, died. The agreement was made and her life became forfeit.
To Protector and Guide...
Life became hectic. It was a good thing she had a lot of energy and excitement to match that of her young charge. She became a mother, a sister and a friend to Zen Kajii (Zenvious). They learned and grew together. It was he who gave her the name, Kaijitsu... a name she continues to use, preferring that only those close to her refer to her by her given name of Jetta.
To Student...
Learning the way of the Samurai she found more than who she was. She found something to believe in and to "be". Fatherless, the young girl began to see her teacher as the closest thing she would have to one. Yet he expected a lot. There was practice, there were lessons and there were times when she wished she could just give up. She didn't. Zen Basho had faith in her or he would not have agreed to her apprenticeship. So she practiced and she learned.
One of the gifts that she treasures is a pair of gloves that her teacher gave her. He told her the story of how the item came into his possession and then passed it on to her. He explained that his son was to receive his sword and as the closest to being his flesh and blood daughter, the magical Nekode were hers. She took them, a feeling of honor washing over her. Her lessons began to include training with her new weapons and she became quite skilled with them.
To Businesswoman...
Along the way, between raising a young boy and learning to be a Samurai, Jetta found that she had an aptitude for business. That caught the eye of her teacher and she was allowed to pursue an education and a variety of experiences within the Zen financial world. As time went on, as Kajii grew up and needed her a little bit less, she spent more time in that world. Eventually she became Zen Basho's right hand, able to represent him personally in business matters. This included the particulars of the social world, the social life of the Basho estate.
After Zen Basho's death, Kajii spent a great deal of time on his own, searching. She watched and waited, being there when he needed her but letting him find his own way as best she could. Taking the reigns as executer and overseer of the Basho Estate, life moved on.
To Co-founder
After a time, Zen Kajii discussed with Jetta his desire to build The Zenvious Foundation. She felt immediately that this idea was one that would be worth devoting a life to pursuing. Continuing on in the role she'd had in his life since the beginning, she became the liaison between the Foundation and the Zen Basho Estate. This left her having to travel but that was something she was use to. Zen Basho had taken both his son and his son's caretaker on his travels around the world.
She registered as a hero, using her Nekode to help with what she could in Paragon. Her time was limited, due to the majority of her time being spent in Japan, but her security level continued to rise.
Like a Coin there are Two Sides
Rarely do people see a different side of Jetta. Rarely do they see beyond her businesswoman exterior. Yet sometimes there are those who break through the wall.
A Battle that Becomes More
While spending some time in Paragon logging Hero hours with Kajii, they teamed with Rizpoly. The young man hit a nerve with her and the two of them got into a verbal battle of wit and insult. Characteristically not like her the took their argument to the Arena. He refused to use all his might and eventually they called it, his point made.
That led to a friendship that developed into more. Over time he began to see a side of her no one else did. He and his daughter Vagary (Little Miss Vagary)took up residence in her heart, a heart that had been single minded for a long time.
She found herself laughing more and enjoying a life more "normal". Spending more time in Paragon she moved in with Riz and they eventually began discussing marriage.
Sudden Losses
Having flown in from Japan, Jetta went directly home. She had been out of comm frequency but for once in her life she was focusing on something other than work. The Foundation was in good hands.
On Good Friday, while coloring easter eggs and setting up for a relaxing day of movie watching, She received an urgent comm message. Something had happened. Something horrible. She left, her eyes glancing at Vagary and then moving to Riz. There had been only the most earnest desire inside her to make the holiday a good one. After all the issues Vagary had had to deal with this was another disappointment Jetta wished she didn't have to be the bearer of.
Kajii was dead. Her summons was to the morgue to identify the body of the man she'd been so close to all these years. There was no holiday. Per the Veritas Project, she was now the Axiom of The Zenvious Foundation, replacing the deceased Mr. Zen. That became her focus, holding together the Foundation. Throughout it all, Riz stood by her. They became engaged and planned for a wedding to happen once things became more calm.
Things didn't calm down however with the reappearance, attempted therapy, apprehension and escape of Clockwork Dawn. There was also the disappearance of Jade Ohm and subsequent kidnapping of her and Kai Keller's (Psi Monk)son as well as dealing with the Rare Cubic Ogre virus that Mike Mars (Mr. Protagonist) discovered attacking the Foundation computer.
Before those things could be straightened out, Jetta was dealt another blow with the sudden death of Riz. Going out on his own against the Envoy of Shadows he lost, leaving behind enough to know he was there including his comm but nothing else. No goodbye. Jetta did her best and still does to appreciate the love she'd shared with him, to cherish the memories. Since she was now the Axiom and Riz was no longer there, she placed Vagary under the banner of The Foundation and into the adoptive arms of Jade and Kai.
Things Change
In every area of her life it seems.
Unexpected Return
Circumstances changed and Kajii returned. No longer "dead" due to his own planning ahead, the once Axiom took up the reigns again, allowing Jetta to return to the position she once held as his right hand. Though the Veritas Protocol involved the U.S. Government it did not effect the Zen Business Empire so she stepped once again into the role as CEO.
Odd Friendship
Alarcity and Kaijitsu were attacked by assassins on the same night. Working together their investigation led them to Agent Six of Omega Watch. Considered to be potential Destined Ones, a Fortunata had taken it upon herself to murder those potential candidates before they can become what the Seer has seen. Hunting them down, the pair intercepted the Fortunata and her followers in Faultline. After a long fight the strong silent women stood victorious.
Steady Man
During a failed ritual she was reverted to the age of eleven. This gave most a glimpse into a Jetta Yoshiyoto that very few would have thought possible. Her energy could have rivaled Vagary's! Once returned to her actual age she remembered very little of that day. She did, however, watch the security feeds. There were smiles but also a few embarrassing blushes to be had as she did so.
That experience was an eye opener in many ways, not the least of which was that she was a woman- Human even!
One who took particular notice was Jet Falcon. Surprisingly his attention was returned with enthusiasm. At first their relationship was a secret but eventually it became common knowledge and widely accepted. The two took up residence in Mr. Zen's huge guest house where she had lived for years.
Contagious
The physical relationship between Jet and Jetta can be and is often a violent one. Not in anger but with something far deeper. He has claws and she uses the clawed Nekode. However between their sexual relationship and the blood that's been shared something has happened. Jet's chaos energy began to work on her in a way no one expected.
Spreading like an STD his dark began to work inside her, twisting the use of the pure and honorable Nekode until she could no longer wield them. It was possible that her role as a Hero was over.
It wasn't, however, because she had wielded a katana and a wakazashi since a child- taught by Zen Basho himself. Still registered as Kaijitsu with the city she changed her weapons- using both her Dual Blades and, to a small degree, the dark powers she'd acquired.
Moving On
The Zenvious Foundation closed its doors.
Life
Kajii chose to devote himself full time to the role of METAchron Avatar. No longer needed as a co-Axiom, Jetta put hero work on the sideline and focused once again on being CEO of Zen Financial. She maintains her friendships with the Keller family and with a few other individuals. She and Jet moved into the Mansion, leaving the guest house behind.
Another organization sprang up, Jet taking a place within it's leadership: The Invictus Foundation. Jetta, however, chose not to take a position with them. It is no Zenvious Foundation.
It's a boy!
Coming from the office she stopped at the tram, expecting to receive a package. What she found, however, was someone claiming to be Zen Kajii's son- the product of his three week marriage to a socialite named Priscilla. Caught offguard she talked to the young Toshiro for a few minutes before bringing him home with her, before calling for Jet to join her. Tosh had been raised to believe that his father chose not to be in his live. Kaijitsu knows that her Kajii would have done no such thing as ignore his child. Getting Tosh to believe that seems like an impossible task.
Tosh is sixteen. This makes Kaijitsu the woman in charge since his mother is dead and she remains as the executer of the Zen estate- which the young boy is now the inheritor of. A bit rude he has referred to her as a servant, as replaceable and as the Ice Queen of Northern Japan. Despite that, however, Jetta is excited. While Kajii did not take upon himself the Bashido code of the Samurai she has every hope that she can pass on Zen Basho's legacy to his grandson.
A few things
She wears a charm bracelet with a large smiley face on it. Though this is not something she would normally consider wearing, it was a Christmas gift from Zeal Drain and has sentimental value.
