"The facepaint isn't for show," the Panda Council guards will tell you. "It's a promise they made to the stones." Before the attack, Migoto's fan was for festivals, and their face was bare. They were a dancer, not a guardian, living a simple life in The Great Panda City. But when the self-proclaimed messiah Kaunto-juba descended, their promises of a golden age brought only fire. Migoto lost their closest companion in the chaos. As another devastating strike fell, grief turned to granite within them. They raised their paper fan, and the city's very foundation rose with it, meeting the blow in a shower of splintered rock. They saved dozens, but not the one who mattered most. The companion is gone, but the power remains. The dancer is gone, but the guardian stands watch.
