Shinsa

One meticulously-kept bamboo garden, two fists wrapped in coarse linen, and a single promise whispered to Shaorin. Before the fighting pits, Shinsa was known for the calm in their hands, a cultivator whose greatest joy was the quiet life they shared in The Great Panda City. They were warm, nurturing, and utterly predictable. But peace is a fragile thing. When a powerful magistrate made a claim on Shaorin’s workshop, leveraging threats that the Panda Council wouldn’t touch, Shinsa discovered a different kind of strength. They abandoned their garden for the brutal training grounds. The mutton chops are a relic of the gentle chimp they were; the fury in their eyes is the promise they now keep. The city sees a fighter. Shaorin sees a protector.
