When a shugenja casts Companion Spirit, does the created Samurai personality have stats equal to the shugenja's base stats or current stats?

Example, I have Companion Spirit attached to Isawa Ochiai, 2 other shugenja in play, and one Shiba Miiko, which gives Ochiai current force of 7. When she casts Companion Spirit, does the created samurai have 7 force or 4?

Thanks.
