Tsuwako

Should a traveler in The Great Panda City ask for the one warrior who never raises their voice, they would be directed to a ramen stall near the river. There, they would find Tsuwako, eyes resting in blissful concentration while slurping noodles from a steaming bowl. Their partner, Chisuna, is always the one talking—negotiating for extra bamboo shoots, planning their next route, or deflecting questions from nosy strangers. Chisuna handles the maps and the coin. Tsuwako just handles the Mega Sabre propped against their stool. Their shared journey began when a group of rowdy mercenaries tried to skip out on a bill. Chisuna started to argue, but Tsuwako simply stood up. The brawl was over in one heavy swing, and they have been inseparable since; a quiet storm and the voice that precedes it.
