Hachijuurou

Hachijuurou was once the most sought-after bamboo artisan in The Great Panda City. Their intricate lattice screens were legendary, their work revered by the Panda Council itself. Then, a merchant introduced them to strawberry milk. It was a revelation. Their artistry was redirected, culminating in a disastrous proposal to replace a sacred water fountain with a milk-dispensing one. The final straw was their attempt to 'improve' the cherry blossoms with a pink, milky glaze. Banished for "terminal silliness," they now live on the outskirts, swapping crude bamboo straws for their beloved drink. Some say the sugar left stars in their eyes, but their sunny spirit, a gift from Himawari, never soured.
