Kiyome

At The Dojo, a chimp's worth is measured in sparring victories and the bandanas they earn. By that metric, Kiyome is a spectacular failure. They have never won a single duel. The fierce war paint on their face isn't a mark of intimidation, but dried mud from their last game of hide-and-seek—a contest they have never lost. While other trainees pore over combat scrolls, Kiyome maps the best hiding spots around the lake. Their adventurer's backpack, rumored to hold survivalist gear for long treks, actually contains a meticulously organized collection of snacks and a spare pair of dry socks. They are the most reliable chimp on any expedition, but only if the objective is finding the perfect tree to climb.
