Sunako

Sunako is the keeper of a sword that remembers battles they never fought. For generations, their family were nobles in The Heart of the Forest, the blade a silent monument to a forgotten warrior past. They treated it as such, a heavy relic to be polished but never drawn. That changed when a corrupted spirit from the wilder woods crept toward the amber-leaved clearing. With no one else to act, they unsheathed the katana. The steel didn't just gleam; it awakened. A torrent of frigid energy erupted from the blade, transforming Sunako and freezing the threat solid. The power never fully receded, and some say their presence alone now shapes events, much like Musashi's. They don't feel chosen; they feel haunted by the weapon they can never put down.
