Yuusei

Yuusei wears the armor of a chimp who has seen a dozen campaigns, but they carry themself like someone who has never known a day of war. Down by the fishing boats of Waterfall City, the younger chimps will tell you that Yuusei taught them a game of skipping stones where the loser has to sing to the fish. The guards by the main plaza, however, remember a different side. They speak of the time an arrogant Teikodian scout drew a blade, only for Yuusei to calmly offer them a warm rice cake until the scout, baffled, sheathed their weapon. They never speak of the battles that earned them the scars beneath their mutton chops. When asked, they just point to the sakura petals that always seem to fall around them and say, 'Some things are just meant to land gently.'
