Achiya

Three river maps, two pairs of shades, one eternal argument with their sibling Koukou about bait. Travelers to Waterfall City seek out Achiya, drawn by rumors of a seer who can read the future in the spray of the falls. They find an old chimp in a golden dragon robe, gaze hidden, war paint perfectly applied. They ask for fortunes. Achiya nods sagely and points to a spot on a map. 'The currents are strong here,' they'll say, 'but the fish are plentiful.' The truth is, Achiya isn't a mystic; they're a retired boat-builder. The shades are for the glare. Only Koukou knows the full extent of the joke, and they never let Achiya forget the time they 'predicted' a flood by accidentally reading a tide chart upside down. Yesterday, a wizard asked for a prophecy. Achiya just told them where to find the best noodles.
