Arishia

Arishia was once a guardian of a different sort. Their domain was a small, steaming ramen stall, a sanctuary where they guarded patrons from hunger and sorrow. That life vanished the day Akurai inherited the prized amulet and its chaotic power began to overflow. As others fled from the violent energy, Arishia stayed, refusing to abandon their friend. They lost their shop, their community, their peace—all sacrificed when they followed Akurai into the grim sanctuary of The Underworld. To ease their friend’s torment, Arishia took on half the amulet’s burden. The power carved new, furious lines into their face, but it forged a new purpose. They no longer serve warmth, they absorb chaos. The ramen hat is the last relic of their past, a stubborn promise of a comfort worth protecting.
