Chimper #1807
Makiha's face is a tapestry of old scars, yet they are known throughout The Teikodian Empire as 'the Joyous'. They were once a quiet archivist, tasked with organizing records of provincial tax disputes—a life of ink-stained fingers and dusty silence. That life ended the day they found a ledger that wasn't supposed to exist, detailing transactions not of gold, but of souls from the dungeons below the palace. The confrontation that followed was not a duel; it was an erasure. They were left broken in a forgotten corridor, but they did not die. They returned with one eye permanently closed, a cheerful Red Fox beanie pulled low, and a smile that never falters. High-ranking officials watch them, trying to decipher if the joy is madness or a secret they failed to extinguish.
