Saitako

Every morning, Saitako adjusts the perfect knot on their red bow and leaps from the highest tier of Waterfall City. They are a blur of white fur and pink canvas against the roar, plummeting past the pale stone temple towards the churning mist below. Others see a reckless stunt, but Saitako is on a mission. They were raised on tales of Aoi, the rebel who found knowledge of the future by rejecting the old ways. Saitako, however, believes the future of their home is buried in its past. They are convinced that forgotten aqueducts and ancient mechanisms lie dormant behind the crushing curtain of water. So they leap, searching for the one hidden entrance, the one hollow echo that proves them right. The grin is for the chimps who watch from the plaza; the fierce, thoughtful gaze is for the secrets only the waterfall knows.
