Niisu

When the beast warrior Hiro visited, their request for a sparring partner echoed off the plaza's great fish statue, met only by silence. Niisu’s hands knew fishing nets and boat oars, not the balanced weight of steel. But a city that couldn’t offer a simple challenge felt wrong, so they stepped forward in their rice hat. The combat was less a fight and more a force of nature. Niisu was not forged in that moment; they were simply the stone that refused to crumble beneath the crashing wave of Hiro's power. Hiro left them breathless but with a nod of respect. Others now see the beginnings of a warrior in their gaze. Niisu knows the truth: they just see the world through the eyes of someone who finally understands how much there is to learn.
