Rikitarou

"They would trade that polished platinum skin for a lifetime supply of berry jam if they could," Eijuurou often tells anyone who asks. Rikitarou never wanted to be a walking marvel. Their luminous form draws far too much attention, attracting fortune-seekers and mystics who believe their rarity holds some great power. All Rikitarou desires is a quiet life in The Heart of the Forest, where the highest honor is perfecting a fruit preserve. But stillness is a luxury their appearance won't afford. It was Eijuurou who found them trying to use a large leaf as camouflage and has been managing their reluctant travels ever since, cane tapping out a rhythm of quiet resignation on the forest floor.
