Kougorou

On the night the monoliths of The Crystal Highlands of Armaria shimmered under two moons, Kougorou concluded that charm alone was not enough. They decided on a grand gesture, channeling their rock chakra to levitate a constellation of tiny, glittering quartz shards to dance around their intended beloved. The plan was flawless: a dazzling display of power and romance. The execution, however, was not. A sudden, powerful sneeze—brought on by the fragrant highland flora—broke their concentration for a fraction of a second. It was all it took for one razor-sharp shard to break formation, zipping past to leave a neat slice across their cheek. The display ended abruptly, not with a kiss, but with a concerned search for a healing salve. Kougorou tells everyone the scar came from a duel with a Rock Wizard; no one who was there has the heart to correct them.
