Hayuu

In The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, wizards measure fortune in crystalline resonance and cosmic alignments. Hayuu measures it by how securely their Meow Cap is fastened to their head. The cap was a gift, meant to honor a family pact with the great bringer of luck, Maneki-neko. Hayuu, however, suspects their particular cap might be a factory second. On their last expedition to chart the Whispering Geodes, their trusty carved cane got tangled in a vine, their map was eaten by a surprisingly literary goat, and they spent an hour hiding from a rainstorm that turned out to be the magical runoff from a wizard’s laundry day. They returned with no new charts, but with a pocket full of shiny, worthless pebbles. Their family asks if Maneki-neko's luck guided them. Hayuu just pats the felt ears on their cap and nods. After all, the goat could have eaten their snacks, too.
