Description
Ochô is a human female from the resource-rich Outer Rim planet Tao, born into the Yasaburō crime family led by her father, Yasaburō. In her youth, she encountered a runaway Lepi slave named Lop at a market and persuaded her father to adopt Lop into their family, forging a close bond with her sister. Her choice was driven by sympathy for Lop's suffering and an appeal to her father's sense of morality.
Seven years later, Ochô’s outlook changed. She came to believe the Galactic Empire was vital for Tao’s economic growth and modernization, clashing with her father’s support for the local rebellion. She argued that the Empire brought development and prosperity, while her father saw Imperial industry as exploitative and militarily oppressive. This ideological rift ignited fierce conflict within the family.
Ochô enlisted in the Imperial Security Bureau as a lieutenant, solidifying her alliance with the Empire. Even before her official induction, she had been relaying intelligence about her father’s activities to Imperial authorities in a bid to earn their trust. When an Imperial officer reprimanded her for failing to curb her father’s rebellion, she accepted blame and pledged to stop Yasaburō by persuasion or force. In a ritual severing of family ties, she cut off her hair braid and used her own blood as war paint around her eyes before leaving with Imperial forces.
Her loyalty to the Empire culminated in a violent confrontation with her family. She fought her father during a meeting that turned deadly, slashing his face and destroying his only working eye, leaving him fully blinded. Later, she dueled her adopted sister Lop, who had been named the family’s successor and wielded its ancestral lightsaber. Ochô angrily rejected Lop’s right to the heirloom, insisting she was not a legitimate heir. The fight ended when Lop struck Ochô across the torso, but an Imperial ship intervened to rescue her from a fall. Ochô escaped with the Empire, leaving Tao behind.
Ochô’s character transformed from a compassionate and spirited child into a resolved and bitter adult. She once demonstrated kindness by championing Lop’s adoption. Yet her conviction in Imperial progress hardened her, leading her to value pragmatic advancement over family and tradition. Despite her actions, she professed a enduring love for her homeworld, believing her path would ultimately secure its future.
