Help with 2h "samurai" build

[Pneumokokki]

Hey guys, another roleplaying idea that I'd like some help with! How could I make this as fun as possible by multiclassing etc? Two-handed fighter sounds like a no-brainer, but how could I spice things up? I'm sure I'm not fully aware of my options here (I don't know all the classes).
Here's what I'm thinking:

-Difficulty will be daring, with number of enemies pumped up and character retrain enabled.
-I wanna use a two-handed sword. Might make a half-elf and use elven curved blade?
-A lawful neutral character for role-playing. (This rules out Barbarian / instinctual warrior, I believe.)
-Aeon mythic path. (I'm going in blind, I don't know what my possibilities are with this one, heard it works nicely with melee though and I love the idea.)
-For role-playing purposes I'd like to pump up wisdom a bit (I want this one to be highly perceptive, this is why I'm thinking the half elf.) I'll probably go with a background that allows persuasion checks through wisdom too. This might open some possibilities?
-Mounted combat is a very strong maybe! Talk me over to it! Might even use a horse right from the start?
-I was thinking Ranger at some point, but I feel like Demonslayer is kinda.. easy mode? Feels almost cheating in this game, lol.
-Spells are not a priority, but I haven't decided yet if I want to use some magic or no magic at all, I'm open to possibilities. That being said, I've played the game as Eldritch Knight Lich before, and am currently playing a chaotic good sword saint as my other character, so those are off the table.

So. What are some fun possibilities I could do with this?

Well, that depends on what kind of samurai you want to role play. Because historical samurai usually fought mounted with a bow. Which means you would be either a ranger or hunter.

Then there's the classical movie samurai with a katana. There are only two weapons that are somewhat close to katanas in Wrath: the dueling sword, and ECB. Unless you want to RP your samurai as an aldori, ECB is the better weapon. Thematically, a sword saint with ECB is probably the most fun katana samurai role play. Sword Saint is also quite the self-sufficient character; a 2H fighter will need buff support.

If you want to go mounted melee, then sohei / cavalier with a glaive.

Well a very strong build is right up your alley if you choose to ride a horse. Samurais did a lot of horse riding, so I don't feel it takes back from the asthetic.

Fighter (preferably mutagen) 5, training/focus in elven curved blade.

Sohei 15.

Voila you have a devestatingly powerful build. Your question might be what mythic path. Well trickster isn't really a theme for a samurai in my opinion. I think aoen suits it well with the neutrality. Angel coming in second, and legend third.

Historical samurai melee weapon was the spear. The sword was only used as backup and self defence when not on a battlefield.

That said, the samurai class actually exists in pathfinder. It's a hybrid between a cavalier and a ranger (minus the spells), you get the order, challenge, banner, mount from cavalier and the weapon expertise from the ranger (you can choose your fighting style between bow, naginata and katana)

So the most acturate way to make a samurai would be a cavalier/ranger specced in either dueling sword (closest weapon to the pathfinder katana), bow or glaive (which is the closest to the naginata).

Agreed with Cavalier being the closest out-of-the-box to Samurai. Student of War also is an option if you envision someone as martial mastermind akin to Oda Nobunaga.

Wow, you guys were quick! Really appreciate it!
Yeah, actually, if I'm gonna be a half-elf fantasy samurai, the beast rider subclass of the Cavalier could be way cool! I could ride a Smilodon!

Follow-up question:
So I'm now a beast rider, lvl 6, I'll be able to ride my Smilodon next level. Chose Great Sword as a weapon, at least for now. The character is a very lawful and actually follows the ways of Erastil, because she has spent the first years with humans in a small village.

Now, is there any sense for me to multiclass this, with say, the sacred huntsman? I could, of course, multiclass with ranger too, as said in a comment above. Will any dip really give me any advantage?
