Clans of Hoshido: Amachi (天知)

In a old time of war and strife, a red haired youth was fiercely plucking the leaves of hollyhock. Her elders refused her voluntary offer to join the fight on the basis of her age and station. By stroke of luck, or perhaps divine intervention, a wandering Dion finds her mulling over her plan to fight anyways. Admiring her determination and spirit, the son of Valla rewards her with an obedient, winged horse that was until then not yet tamed. The youth accepted this gift, and rode her new mount into battle, securing a victory for her people. Those who witnessed her riding the flying beast sought to emulate her, leading to the mass domestication of the pegasi. This woman would later on decide the legacy of the Amachi clan as the first flying combatants in the east.

Through air superiority, the Amachi rose to power as a force to be reckoned with. Initially, they rivalled the Yamato in a age old fight for conquest of the east lands. Eventually, they realized their stalemate was unproductive and agreed to ally with each other to unify Hoshido. From then on, the Amachi recognized the Yamato as the leader of their growing alliance and deferred to them as their king after they staked claim on the surviving daughter of Dion. Together with the other clans, the Amachi officially united under the Yamato clan and contributed to the Council of Five by serving as the head. Despite their more peaceful endings, the clan refuse to lose their fighting spirit, and organized the Sky Knight Corps and regularly host tournaments in their domain.

Today, the the Amachi valiantly guard the chasm that divides them from the west lands, and operate as the first line of defense. Much of the renowned Sky Knight Corps still comprise of Amachi clan members. Their influence knows no bounds second to the Yamato, as they are still the head of the Council of Five. They elected strongly for enforcing border restrictions between the east and west, since the Nohrian smuggling ring had affected them the most.

Basically, the family that has absolutely no chill. Now, we know where the Hoshido royal family get part of their personality from.

Crest Design

So the Amachi crest is probably the most extravagant out of everyone’s (except maybe Izumo and Mokushu, but they’re not part of Hoshido). Anyways, the leaves and flowers are hollyhock (aoi). You might recognize these from more famous clans like the Matsudaira clan, from which the Tokugawa shogunate came from. but I chose something that’s split in half so they kinda look like wings. They’re also called heartvines, which make some sense because these guys have such big hearts... and voices.

Notable Members

Hisashi - the current head of the Amachi clan, Ikona’s baby brother, and leader of the Sky Knight Corps, has an incurable case of caring too much

Yumiko (nee Maeda) - Hisashi’s wife and a Kinshi Knight who’s worked with Reina in their early days, proving her unending patience

Hisashi’s twin daughters. They’re still really young children, and they really look up to their mommy and daddy a lot

Ikona - the late Queen of Hoshido and an accomplished Falcon Knight, a ball of nerves with strange taste in food

Chouko - Hisashi and Ikona’s cousin, a few times removed, and Tsubaki’s mother, a retired Kinshi Knight and now raises her four children

Tsubaki - Sakura’s retainer, and Chouko’s youngest son, a highly talented individual who aims to emulate the rest of his family

The Hoshidan royal famly (Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, and Sakura)

I won’t list too many members, since I’m a little lazy, and these are really all you need to know about them.

More Notes and Facts

The made up legend about the first sky knight is loosely based off of Trần Quốc Toản, a Vietnamese marquis. The difference is that the sky knight lived to see another day and started a family.

Since the Hoshidan royals are part Amachi, let’s mention them, too

Ikona kept in good touch with her brother even after her marriage

Sumeragi thinks Hisashi shouts way too much (which is hilarious considering who he is), but since he’s Ikona’s younger brother, he treats him like an annoying younger brother

Everyone in the family loves mochi of all kinds

If you sign up to be a cook for the clan, you are required to be good at making mochi

The Amachi make it a personal holiday to make mochi themselves, even though they are nobles

Hisashi and Ikona get really intense when it comes to mashing the rice with a mallet

Ikona’s odd taste in food often leads her to make mochi of the strangest flavors. Only Mikoto seems to like her taste, much to everyone else’s horror.

Hisashi often invites his sister’s children (the royal family) and some of his subordinates to join in in the “fun” part of mashing the mochi

If he invites you to join in the mashing, it means he trusts you (good luck Arisa!).

Sakura especially like these events, and is proud of the fact that she is good at applying water to the mochi while her uncle mashes it, only that she doesn’t enjoy her uncle’s maniacal shouting when he’s fired up

Hinoka has the fastest hands in the royal family and is probably the only one who can keep up with Hisashi nowadays (before him, Ikona and Fuuma were the best)

Takumi prefers holding the mallet,  because no way is he going to risk breaking his fingers

Ryoma doesn’t mind helping himself, but he doesn’t exactly enjoy the stickiness

Since mochi is used for some rituals, the Amachi often volunteer to help out with the preparations

Hisashi can may be stuck up for constantly insisting he’s right, but he’s gotten better at waiting to hear everyone’s opinion now that he’s on the council for a few years

Hisashi has twin daughters whom he loves very much, but they’re still really young, so he’s determined not to die young

Did he mention that he has twin daughters? Because he will not stop unless you know that he does.

Should he die (on the Nohr route), he thinks first of Yumiko and his kids, because yeah, I guess we should pull heartstrings

With people like Tsubaki, Chouko, and Hisashi, the Amachi are sometimes seen as complete dicks

But no one really complains much, because they do their jobs well and they’re always so generous to the people they govern over

Except for the fact that they have little tolerance for their Nohrian immigrants

They are all complete perfectionists, for better or for worse. It can be a disadvantage to them.

Sometimes their decisions are seen as advantageous to their country and their people, but could do the opposite for the nation’s neighbors, which they have acknowledged that they must remain isolated from

That’s right, red hair is the norm in this clan. This family loves the color red more than the Albrands

They aren’t a bloodthirsty type, however.

While kamon don’t have set colors, the Amachi and Yamato have each other’s colors, but inverted

The standard Hoshido white on red is a testament to how much influence the Amachi have on Hoshido as a whole
