Koriyu

Koriyu's yellow bandana was a gift from Shushu, tied with a knot meant to never come undone. Before that gift, life in Waterfall City was just the relentless roar of the falls and the glitter of diamond dust. Koriyu was a fighter, focused and intense, their battle jacket a second skin. They honed their rare crystal-wielding power in the training yards, seeing the world as a series of opponents. Then Shushu entered their life, not with a challenge, but with a quiet understanding that saw past the warrior. They didn't offer a sharper blade or a stronger shield, but a simple piece of yellow cloth, a promise of a safe harbor to return to. These days, Koriyu fights not for prestige, but to get back to the quiet evenings spent with Shushu on the rock stairs, watching the mist rise from the river below.
