Fueriko

Fueriko recalled the exact moment the artisan from the Panda Council presented them with the head-lantern. "A beacon of clarity," the artisan had said, beaming. "It will never go out." A blessing, Fueriko had thought at the time. They learned quickly that "never" was less a feature and more a binding curse. It is impossible to be stealthy, it attracts every curious firefly in The Great Panda City, and it once ruined a surprise party by illuminating the hiding spot from three streets away. Their trusty cane is used more often to bat away moths than fend off foes. Locals have simply accepted it. "Just head toward the walking lighthouse," is a common direction given to lost travelers. Fueriko just sighs and polishes their specs.
