Yumora

In Waterfall City, they say the deepest currents run silent, and most visitors assume the proverb is a warning about Yumora's temper. They see the furious eyes, the stark war paint, and the unreadable poker face, and they steer clear. They mistake the rock chakra humming on their back for a well of barely contained rage. But the children of the lower districts know the truth. Every afternoon, Yumora sits by the great fish statue in the plaza, not to stand guard, but to build. From a leather pouch, they produce smooth river stones and balance them in impossibly delicate towers. When a young frog-child tumbles into a stack, Yumora doesn't scold. They just offer a hand to help them up, their painted face never changing, before patiently starting the tower anew.
