Ugui

Ugui was a fisher, and The Great Panda City has no ocean. Panda sent them as an emissary, a mission that baffled the council. Ugui brought their rod, their shades, and a lucky plant that now shivers in the high-altitude chill. They were told to observe, to wait. For what, Panda never specified. The city's currents are political, its tides are whispers in bamboo-lined streets. For weeks, Ugui felt useless, a creature of the coast stranded on a mountaintop. Then, they started treating the city like a river. They learned where the rumors pooled, which officials swam against the flow, and what secrets lurked in the deep, quiet places. They never cast a line, but they are fishing all the same.
