Kohagi

"Don't be fooled by the jam on their face. That one has seen more of the Empire's shadows than most of Ten'no's personal guard." Kohagi once navigated The Teikodian Empire by the glint of legion armor and the schedules of secret patrols. They were a sharp, efficient courier who knew every gilded spire and the cold stone corridors that snaked beneath them. But after delivering the dispatch that led to a loyal family's quiet disappearance, the map in their mind fractured. They saw the Empire's grandeur for the gilded cage it was. These days, they wander the same streets with a blade they hope to never use. Their focus has turned inward, seeking the warmth of a sunbeam on marble or the taste of a fresh pastry. Their starry-eyed gaze isn't one of ignorance, but of defiance.
