Tatora

When the imperial quartermaster placed an order for new kitchen knives, a mix-up in the bustling streets of The Teikodian Empire sent the armory’s crate to Tatora’s noodle stand instead. Too busy perfecting a new dashi, Tatora barely looked up while accepting the delivery. They unwrapped the Dragonslayer Blade, assuming it was an absurdly large vegetable cleaver. Tucked in the wrappings was a single, shimmering scale they mistook for a decorative soup spoon. Since then, Tatora has become the most intimidating chef in the capital, using the legendary sword to chop bamboo shoots with terrifying inefficiency. The scale of Ryu-senshi sits by the broth pot, polished daily. Their constant squint isn't a warrior's focus; it's the paranoia that someone will ask for the “cleaver” back.
