Irone

What does a perfectly respectable chimp do when their perfectly respectable sibling loses the family's entire fortune on a bad bet with a treasure hunter? For Irone, the answer involved packing a sword they'd never held and leaving The Great Panda City. Their life had been mapped out: managing the family's bamboo paper shop, mastering calligraphy, and enjoying the city's crisp, cold air. But tradition also demands that debts be paid. So, they traded an ink brush for a blade and a quiet shop for forgotten trails and dusty maps. The bowler hat is a stubborn remnant of the life they were meant to have. That confident smile is for everyone else; at night, they polish their blade, but their mind is elsewhere, calculating the perfect water temperature for a cup of tea they haven't tasted in years.
