Yoshia

Yoshia is the only noble in Waterfall City to have ever officially retired. For decades, their charm was a civic resource, smoothing over deals between fishers and merchants by the grand statue plaza. They navigated the politics of the pale stone temple with an easy grace, their words as vital as the rushing water itself. But every settled dispute felt like another anchor. The day Aoi's strange flying craft drifted over the falls, bringing with it stories of a future unbound by tradition, Yoshia felt a pull stronger than the current. They didn't abdicate power; they simply walked away from it, trading formal robes for a feather cape. These days, they drift alongside Aoi, offering seasoned advice not on treaties, but on the best clouds for an afternoon nap.
