In the end your insight should be 134, so getting Courtier and Etiquette to 3 is important for getting up to 2. After that, I'd try leveling my Kenjutsu, Sincerity, Jiujutsu and your lore skill of choice (Likely Theology for this character) if you want that Kata.

Your role will basically become being fantastic in 1v1's, but not duels, unless you level Iajutsu or such, which is very possible. But yes, you'll be great in 1v1's thanks to your Rank 2 allowing you to grapple. This basically ensures that, as long as you maintain control, you're doing your damage each turn without letting the grappled fight back. Now, it also makes you both sitting ducks, so don't use this if you think you'll get jumped.

Your disadvantages play on being kind of woman crazy, without hindering you too much, except in roleplay, which I feel is a more fun way of picking disadvantages.

Your advantages ensure you'll be both a Warrior and a Scholar, knowing a bit of everything and being a master of the blade. If you don't care about Luck and want to focus more on combat/roleplay, I'd go with Strength of the Earth and Soul of Artistry to further this character concept.

Basically, you should ideally be able to win most battles that revolve around small skirmishes and 1 on 1's, with the potential to be an amazing duelist if you so desire, or just be a master of combat as it is. You'll fit in the party as a cool head as one of the smarter members of the party as well, Sage letting you always know the answer to a question, if even just on a surface level.
