The locals of The Heart of the Forest call them the Noble, a title that makes Ashiho laugh every time they hear it. Nobility sounds like stuffy meetings and stiff clothes, not a relaxed tee and a raspberry pink visor. They were only a trainee, tasked with keeping the paths to Aki’s domain clear—a job performed with an optimistic grin and an adventure sword mostly used for cutting stubborn vines. When a trio of grim Soul Chasers trespassed, their dark energy curdling the air, Ashiho didn’t draw their blade. Instead, they offered the intruders their entire lunch. Faced with unexpected kindness and a pile of honey-cakes, the Chasers faltered. Ashiho simply explained their presence was scaring the birds. Embarrassed and full, the trio departed. The story became a legend of serene diplomacy, and the title stuck.
