Sainon

That scar across their eye? They got it defending Karuha from river pirates when they were just a child. The fisher at the bottom of Waterfall City will tell anyone who asks, their voice low against the constant roar of the falls. "Sainon used to be one of the quiet nobles from the temple up there, all diplomacy and debate. But that day changed everything." During a raid, Sainon found Karuha alone, their family lost in the chaos. Getting the child to safety cost Sainon dearly. The feather cape is no longer just for ceremony; each plume is a reminder of the vow they made. They gave up their old life of influence and tradition for a new, singular purpose: to be a shield, ensuring no harm ever reaches their ward again.
