Merchants in The Great Panda City claim Jubia's shades are necessary to contain a gaze so profoundly wise it could alter reality. The truth involves a simple delivery, a terrible sense of direction, and a carton of strawberry milk. Jubia, a lantern courier, got lost and wandered into a Panda Council meeting. The council, including the great Panda, was in a state over a prophecy foretelling a "bearer of light with shielded eyes" who would solve a sudden bamboo blight. Seeing Jubia, they hailed them as the chosen one. Dragged to the wilting grove before they could protest, Jubia just shrugged and said, "Have you tried watering it?" They hadn't. Since then, their absurdly practical advice has made them a surprisingly effective, if entirely accidental, council member.
