Should a traveler find themself lost in the forgotten alleys of the Teikodian Empire, they might follow the scent of a broth so perfect it feels like a memory. It leads to a tiny stall and a masked chef whose furious eyes betray an impossible focus. Rameru's hands move with a swift grace that explains their epithet—a name earned not over a cutting board, but in the service of a cruel noble. They once moved through palaces like a ghost, an artist of poisons and secrets, but the moral rot of the empire soured their spirit. They fled, eventually finding the community Shokei-moji had built for the unwanted. Here, their deadly precision was reborn. That peerless agility now slices vegetables, not throats, and their fierce concentration is spent bringing warmth to the dispossessed, one perfect bowl at a time.
