Katsuyuki

Katsuyuki was the loudest laugh in the high city. Their playful antics were legend among the bamboo groves, a flash of ruby fur and boundless energy against the purple-hued sky. But the freezing winds that whip through the mountain passes carry whispers of their silence now. It began with a mission to scout a newly discovered cavern, a mission that went wrong. An ancient curse was awakened, one that fed on joy. To contain it, Katsuyuki sealed the cavern, trapping their entire troupe inside. They were the sole survivor, their laughter forever tainted. They took up the mask and the faith of Mesuokami, seeking a path for the vengeful and haunted. The wings they wear are not for flight, but a constant, heavy reminder of the friends they could not shield.
