Renoha

The smooth, cool grain of the polished bamboo rod is the only truth Renoha holds onto most days. From the grand canals of The Teikodian Empire, they present the perfect picture of an artist at leisure, their beret tilted just so. Passersby see a playful eccentric; Imperial guards see a harmless citizen. No one sees the hollowed-out reel that passes intelligence, nor do they notice the flicker in Renoha’s eyes when their partner, Harugiku, uses a merchant's call to signal a new target. The rod was an inspired tool for their craft, allowing them to gather whispers while seemingly lost in the joy of casting a line. Most spies thrive in shadow; Renoha thrives in the blinding sunlight reflected off the Empire's golden spires.
