Mayuma

The lanterns Mayuma carries were crafted for celebration, yet their light has only ever illuminated paths of vengeance. They once patrolled the bamboo-lined avenues with Jinrou, two silent guardians under a perpetually purple sky. But after a mission went wrong in the city's highest corridors, their paths fractured. Jinrou embraced the shadows between buildings, believing true strength lies in what is unseen. Mayuma disagreed, convinced that some darkness must be confronted by a blinding, unforgiving light. The lanterns, once a symbol of their shared duty, became a tool of singular purpose. Their delicate cherry blossom patterns are a mockery of the furious glare Mayuma now wears, their flame never flickering in the biting wind.
