Shibi

Every morning, Shibi practiced the Panda Council’s ‘Leaf on the Breeze’ exercise. And every morning, a different jagged peak in The Dragon Wastelands learned what it felt like to become dust on the breeze. Their instructors sent them there thinking the scorched plateaus offered fewer things to break. They were profoundly wrong. Shibi’s spirit was simply too vibrant, their energy too chaotic for the delicate arts. During a sparring session, they were told to tap their partner with a bamboo stick. They sneezed, unleashing a wave of force that vaporized a ghost dragon stalking the camp. Like Oda achieving an unlikely redemption, Shibi had done the impossible by accident. They remain a trainee, deadpan and utterly confused as to why everyone gives them so much space.
