Supika

Most chimps come to The Dojo seeking a power they don't yet possess. Supika arrived trying to understand a power that had already found them. It awakened during a simple scouting trip—the air grew still, the three gems on their brow pulsed with a cold, clear light, and the katana in their hand bloomed with frost that bit deeper than any winter. It was terrifying. They expected the masters to see a weapon to be honed, or a threat to be contained. But Kenji saw a student who was lost. Kenji didn't teach them new fighting stances, but new ways to breathe, to quiet the storm inside. These days, they show the youngest trainees how to hold a blade, speaking of balance not as technique, but as a way to live with the impossible thing you've become.
