==Customs==
The small Ageha clan spends most of their days devoted to studying the Kenjutsu style of their founder, and her teachings, with much time spent meditating to further a samurai's connection with the Void. The clan's duties also see them tending and guarding the Tomomori shrine and forest. An interesting development is the growing tradition of Ageha samurai becoming renown bonsai gardeners, with many seeing the methodological art as a connection to void just as strong as meditation. The placid appearance of the gardens and their tenders, however, considers hidden steel: the Ageha clan produces some of the most deadly duelists in the Emerald Empire. Secluded among the multitudes of butterfly and bonsai gardens that dot the Ageha lands is the Butterfly Clan dojo, which is always busy with clan samurai learning Kenjutsu, Kyujutsu, and Iajutsu. The Ageha clan tend to dress simply, if elegantly. Their clan colours usually tend towards black and orange, with white highlights being common, white being the colour of the dead. Many Ageha do their best to try and appear humble and unobtrusive, with many in the family tending to be slender and plain looking.

The dojo and shrine are often visited by those curious in either of them, and the Ageha do their best to become polite hosts. They often have to turn down those they feel seek the secret of the Swallowtail cut for the wrong reasons, which occasionally include violent ronin. The Tomomori Shrine gardens are quite extensive and are believed by many to be haunted, or to have some connection to the spirit realms - it is known that without proper respect and rituals, gaki have arisen here. This made the area, and still makes it, a place of interest for monks, shugenja and maho, and the Ageha tend to be circumspect regarding it, rarely letting any venture among the ruins, shrines and foliage without good reason.

The Ageha, despite having a tight knit community, are often taken to travel, and their daimyo are historically encouraging towards warrior pilgrimages. Most Ageha desire to, at least once, travel in the Dragon Mountains and to visit the monastic orders and shrines of Rokugan to increase their understanding of the Void. Ageha samurai are always interested in helping to restore and protect shrines and holy sites, and take interest in rumours of blood sorcery or displeased spirits. Sometimes on their travels they will meet a ronin or samurai with promise, and invite them to visit the Ageha estate, or even to join with the Clan.
