Tsukasa

On the morning of the Grand Sun Festival, when the palace spires gleamed so brightly they hurt the eyes, Tsukasa was meant to be guarding the main gate. Instead, they were watching a jeweler from across the white marble courtyard, completely captivated. To appear busy and warrior-like, Tsukasa began practicing elaborate combat stances with their fishing rod. In a moment of sheer panic when the jeweler glanced over, Tsukasa attempted their most impressive move: the 'Whirling Typhoon of Inescapable Thread.' The hook sailed through the air, missed the practice dummy entirely, and snagged the ceremonial sash of a high-ranking minister. Tsukasa spent the next hour apologizing profusely. But that evening, the jeweler found them. 'Your form was terrible,' they said with a smile, 'but your aim is interesting.'
