Mikuna

Should a traveler seek the most ruthless bargains in Waterfall City, they would be directed to an immaculate office overlooking the grand plaza. There they would find Mikuna, dressed in expensive silks, with fresh sapphire war paint cutting across their furious eyes. They weren't born to this life of ledgers and high-stakes trade. They clawed their way up from the sprawling huts downstream, where fishing deals were often settled with a sharp hook and a willingness to draw blood. They learned early that a poker face was armor and that every negotiation was a battlefield. When they finally ascended the stone stairs to the main city, they swapped their fishing gear for business attire, but never abandoned the tactics. The paint is a reminder to all who sit opposite them: they may speak of coin, but they think in terms of victory.
