Hikorou

The sound of water dripping onto ancient stone is the only truth Hikorou trusts in the whole of The Teikodian Empire. Above, the golden spires lie, but below, in the tunnels of the Mystic Cats, secrets flow freely. It was this thirst for unfiltered truth that drew Momochi's sharp eye. The ambitious cult leader promised Hikorou not just knowledge, but the power to act on it. So they trade information, mapping the hidden ways beneath the capital. The Meow Cap they wear is seen as a harmless eccentricity by palace guards, but it earns nods of respect from the tunnel dwellers. Hikorou’s reports to Momochi are flawless, charting passages that could bring the Empire to its knees. Almost flawless. A single, crucial corridor is always omitted, one junction always mislabeled. The question isn't if Hikorou will betray someone; it's who they haven't betrayed yet.
