A player, 22 March 2009
Card set 1
Death after Life Reaction: After one of your Personalities is destroyed during battle: Lose 5 Honor. Target a dead Personality in your discard pile, or in any discard pile if you are a Spider Clan player. Permanently give him Shadowlands and Undead. Bring him into play in your current army, ignoring restrictions (paying all costs).
Fatina Reaction: Even if Fatina is bowed, after a Personality is destroyed: Create a 2F/2C/0PH Shadowlands, Undead, Ghul Personality in your current army or your home. Lose 2 Honor.
--- Card set 2
The Empress' Address Political Reaction: After one of your Personalities is destroyed while in a defending army, bow one of your target Courtiers or Empresses: Target a non-unique Personality with your clan alignment in your discard pile. Bring him into play in your home, waiving all costs. Gain 2 Honor.
Kakita Noriko Reaction: After one of your Crane Clan Personalities is destroyed during a battle or for losing a duel, bow Noriko: Gain Honor equal to the destroyed Personality's Personal Honor.

I think the same ruling would apply for both, but I thought I'd check.
My opponent destroies my peronality. Assuming all costs/triggers are met for Death after Life, if I have a dead Fatina, may I still react with Fatina to create a ghul after bringing her into play with death after life or has the opportunity passed?
My opponent destroies my defending crane personality. I react with Empress' Address, pay all costs, and bring back a Kakita Noriko from my discard pile. May I yet react with Noriko to the destruction of my personality?

The timing is the same.
You may use Kakita Noriko's Reaction after The Empress' Address and you may use Fatina's Reaction after bringing her back via Death After Life.
