Kiyari

The faint smell of burnt sugar and singed bamboo tends to precede Kiyari’s arrival. They are, by all accounts, the most meticulous merchant in The Great Panda City, with scrolls of profit margins and supply chain logistics that would make the Panda Council weep with joy. The problem is the flamethrower. They acquired it not in battle, but during a disastrously literal business lunch involving a "Dragon's Breath" dumpling meant to seal a trade deal. Since that day, their calm, patient negotiations are punctuated by accidental bursts of fire. A sneeze once incinerated a shipment of silk fans. A vigorous nod of agreement melted a client's jade abacus. Kiyari now specializes in pre-charred building materials and runs a popular stall selling instantly-roasted sweet potatoes.
