Merchant

Your character was born into the second lowest rung in feudal Japanese society, the Merchant class. Though utterly despised by everyone else, merchants are not the poorest residents of the nation. This is especially true if they dabble in illegal side businesses, as many Edo merchants do. This contributes to a negative stereotype that perpetuates itself.
