Hikorokurou

The faint smell of salt and ozone often hangs around Hikorokurou, a strange scent for the dry, crystalline air of The Crystal Highlands of Armaria. Before their “incident,” they were just a trainee, best known for spilling potions and turning levitation practice into an exercise in chaotic bouncing. Then, during a simple weather-channeling lesson, they didn't just summon a cloud; they summoned a miniature typhoon that rained actual fish on the fortress for an hour. Their power surged to a level that has wizards whispering comparisons to Kami, but their official rank remains “trainee,” mostly because nobody dares promote them. Their Frost Katana could split a monolith, but Hikorokurou primarily uses its chill to keep their snacks perfectly crisp.
