Takoho

The sharp crackle of singed fur, followed by the high-pitched yelp of someone who has just set their own head on fire, is not how most legends begin. But it’s how Takoho’s did. They were just another trainee at The Dojo, trying a complex fire-scroll technique far above their skill level. The goal was a controlled spark. The result was an uncontrolled inferno centered entirely on their scalp. The transformation, the surge of power that left them evolved and smoldering, wasn't born of righteous fury but pure, undiluted panic. Their legendary ‘roar’ was, in truth, a shriek of profound embarrassment. When the great Washi arrived, they saw not a clumsy student but a warrior reborn in flame, a feat they declared few could achieve. Who was Takoho to correct them? They just try to avoid mirrors now.
