Meyumi

Meyumi was not supposed to feel anything at all. The Cult taught that emotion was a flaw, a weakness to be burned away. But the same chaotic surge that twisted Hen'i-tai's form instead shattered Meyumi's discipline, leaving them with possessed eyes and a fine dusting of crystal on their back. They fled to The Heart of the Forest, expecting only to be hunted. Instead, they found a quiet botanist fascinated by the impossible shimmer of their skin. This person wasn't afraid of the heretic markings around Meyumi's mouth, and spoke to them of sunlight and soil, not damnation. Meyumi still wears the Soul Chaser helmet, a grim reminder, but over it, they wear the green bow uniform of the forest—a gift. Their partner shows them how to tend to new life, their hands finding Meyumi's without flinching.
