Motosuka

There's a saying at The Dojo: the heaviest armor protects the deepest secret. Motosuka’s Sparkling Sapphire plates are a familiar sight, polished to a mirror sheen even in the winter snow. Trainees watch them move with the grace of a river, their carved cane a blur that disarms and redirects but never strikes to harm. No one has seen them wield a real weapon, yet the armor suggests a past filled with them. The elders don't speak of it, and Motosuka themself only offers an expressive, unreadable smile when asked. Every morning, they stand at the edge of the lake, watching the spars. Are they a retired master, a guardian in waiting, or a warrior locked in a battle no one else can see?
