Yumoka

The sharp scent of cherry blossoms on freezing wind always brings Yumoka back. Before the ambush, they walked the high passes to The Great Panda City alone, their carved cane tapping a rhythm of pure self-reliance. They were a trader, quick-witted and fiercely independent. But bandits left them with a permanent limp and a deep distrust of strangers. That's when they met Isao, a former city guard with fists like boulders who had been discharged for being too gentle. The two outcasts formed a pact borne of necessity: Yumoka’s sharp mind for business, Isao’s quiet strength for protection. Now they run the most curious stall in the market, one selling rare herbs while the other stands watch, a silent, loyal shadow.
