Shizuna

When the sky over the imperial docks flashed with a colour that wasn’t sunrise, Shizuna learned the limits of charm. A deal for enchanted minerals devolved into a blast of raw, uncontrolled energy, leaving them with a scar across their face and a profound fear of beings like Eirian who wield such power. From the wreckage, a dockworker, broad as a temple door and just as silent, pulled them free. Shizuna, bleeding but ever the opportunist, offered them a job on the spot. Now, they are the most peculiar pair in The Teikodian Empire. Shizuna glides through gilded halls, their words a silken net for rivals. Their partner follows, a grim shadow who has never spoken a word. Shizuna handles the contracts; their partner handles the consequences. They share no common language, only a mutual understanding born in chaos.
