Danji

In the Teikodian Empire, fortunes are built on secrets and gold. Danji, however, believes true value lies in a perfectly steeped cup of tea. Hired as a 'Strategic Contemplator' for the palace war council, they were selected for their intense, focused gaze—a look everyone assumes is deciphering enemy troop movements, but is actually judging the water temperature for a delicate white peony brew. While generals debate invasion plans, Danji’s most pressing concern is the tragic over-brewing of the sencha. They once halted a treaty signing with a stern glare, aimed not at the rival diplomat, but at an aide who dared to serve honey with a rare oolong. The court whispers of a serene master of immense patience; in truth, they are just waiting for the kettle to whistle.
