The People of Sandpoint: Ameiko Kaijitsu


Ameiko Kaijitsu is best known in the town of Sandpoint as the proprietor of The Rusty Dragon, Sandpoint's oldest inn, notable for the impressive (and quite rusty) iron dragon that looms on the building's roof.
She's also notable for the many tattooes that cover her body and the changing colors of her hair, which seem to vary if not daily, at least weekly.
Along with her halfling assistant Bethana Corwin, the Rusty Dragon is notable for its extensive selection of succulent meats, ripe and fresh vegetables, and both local and exotic fruits - in addition to the excellent ales, lagers and Varisian wines the citizens of Sandpoint (and the odd dwarven cleric or two) enjoy.

Ameiko is the eldest daughter of Lonjiku Kaijitsu and Atsui Kaijitsu and half-sister of Tsuto Kaijitsu. She has recently returned to Sandpoint, and the Rusty Dragon, after a period of mourning outside. Her despair is from the very recent deaths of her father and brother - it seems that her brother, in league with the goblin parties attacking Sandpoint, murdered their father, and encased him in glass at the family's Glassworks factory.
Tsuto took his own life when the party cornered him in the basement of the Glassworks after dispatching a number of his gobling thugs - his story may forever remain a secret.

Ameiko has kept to herself after being freed from the party from Tsuto's clutches, and her emotional state can only be guessed at. She has breturned to the Rusty Dragon but has not yet made herself available, and Sheriff Hemlock and Mayor Deverin have respected her privacy. She is now the sole heiress to the Kaijitsu fortune.
