An exclusive female monk order under the supervision of the famous-notorious Anni Redriner, the Lotus Flower is famous for three things.
One of those is the fact that it's exclusively made of young human and elven girls, who are selected by special attributes, of which most are unknown or doubtful. Criteria might be already inherent combat skills, attitude, or other conditions undiscussed by the members of the order, as they are seemingly forbidden to talk about it, or they keep it a secret due to the major interest from young girls nationwide.
The second hallmark is the skirt that they wear and it's very short, often mocked for a belt. Lacking proper manners wearing such, "Lotus Girls" are often a subject for gossip among young men of human cities.
The third and most feared attribute of any Lotus Fist practicing girl is The Kick: the fact that no male opponent has gotten away yet without a shattering kick between the legs.
Unholy word about horrors a Lotus Disciple can do to a man has made these young women (and even younger girls) infamed, sought, and even more exclusive than before. Invitations are given solely to girls that fit whatever the criteria are, and it is said that only Anni Redriner can accept an application to the order and in fact, she only accepts one proven worthy.

Little is known about the history of the Lotus Fist order, but it is said that they used to be Geishas - oriental entertainers and artists , abused by the so called crusaders, forced to become little more than women of forbidden pleasures, and in response they have developed their very own art of self-defense.

OOC:

The far east has fallen to the western crusaders: gun powder they've had was barely enough against the fragates and heavy armoured troops of the arriving forces.
Soon, the reign of financially powerful but politically tactless appointed "governors" has lead to export of everything valuable: man power, gold, arts; leaving only their secrets hidden within monastery walls where armed guards made sure nobody practices anything suspicious.
Some orders have risen to resistance , hiding as guerrilas in the hills while most of the others were either massacred or enslaved: those who fought back soon brought to bitter justice by those monks who decided to serve the coming era's powers to be.
Only a few survived and among those who did, only a handful did practice the Art anymore: unarmed combat was soon forgotten with the coming generations. Almost finally.
Almost, because in its most unlikely place there is always a flower blooming even in the darkest of jungles: The Lotus is a flower which grows on its host and often gets strong enough to strangle it before too late.
Geishas, women of art and entertainment, women who helped the eastern nobles raise their children and shine their social worth by being present in their court, were used as nothing but mere whores.
Their houses and sacred traditions violated by solders and so-called nobles of the west , they had no choice but to cope , or die and be forgotten.
