Kunifumi

The bamboo weavers of the high-altitude city will tell you Kunifumi was a model of noble grace, their future etched in the polished stones of the mountain paths. But a fated blade does not care for polished stone. When it chose them, it hummed not with honor, but with the chaotic energy of the wilds. The elders saw a champion; Kunifumi felt a cage. Drawn by the weapon's pull, they descended from the city of eternal purple twilight and found Yaban-hito. In the barbarian's untamed fury, Kunifumi saw not a monster, but the very soul of their new blade. They traded their feather cape for a life of dirt and sky, learning that patience is a weapon forged in the wild, not in a silent dojo. The war paint they wear is not for decoration; it hides the serene noble who walked away.
