Migako

Migako wore a crisp shirt and tie to every trade negotiation, yet the calluses on their palms came from a combat pole, not a merchant's abacus. In The Great Panda City, one was expected to choose a path—commerce or combat—but Migako walked both. By day, they bartered for rare silks and spices, their smile disarming. By night, they slipped into the bamboo groves, training until their knuckles bled, sometimes catching sight of the solitary Panda, a silent lesson in raw power. The family saw only a promising heir. That changed when bandits threatened their warehouse, expecting an easy score. They found a whirlwind of polished wood and sharp strikes instead. Migako learned then that a sharp mind and a strong staff aren't opposing assets; they are two sides of the same valuable coin.
