Yoimi

Yoimi keeps a map that has no destination. Born in The Great Panda City, they spent their youth tracing the same bamboo-lined streets and memorizing the patterns of cherry blossoms under the ever-present purple sky. But one day, they found an old, cracked lantern in a dusty market corner, one that refused to light for anyone else. For Yoimi, it pulsed with a soft, steady glow, pulling them eastward. They packed their bag, crafted two more lanterns to echo the first one's call, and walked out of the city gates without looking back. The winds are cold, but their path is lit. Whether it leads to a lost city or simply the edge of the world is a question the lanterns have yet to answer.
