Yarika

The Azure Oracle of the Panda Council is, by all accounts, a position of immense gravity. When Yarika first arrived in The Great Panda City, their sapphire glow and majestic wings led many to believe a great power had come to protect the mountain. They were installed in a quiet shrine overlooking the river, and the city waited for prophecies of coming wars or shifting fates. Instead, Yarika’s first official pronouncement was that the baker two streets down was about to burn a batch of sweet buns. Their second was a detailed prediction of a cloud that looked exactly like a fish. These days, the Council has stopped asking for military intelligence. They consult Yarika on matters of civic morale, like where the most cherry blossoms will fall, and find their predictions unerringly accurate.
