Yachiru the Ally

Three days after their meticulously carved cane failed to locate the Tome of Eternal Silence, Yachiru found themself in the grimmest corner of The Underworld, staring at an empty pedestal. The ancient text, their life's quest, was gone. All that remained was a single, slightly confused-looking salmon. Yachiru, whose war paint was meant for intimidating demons, simply blinked. They had lost their purpose. But then, inspiration struck. They picked up the fish, placed it reverently on their head, and declared it a far superior oracle. Since then, Yachiru has become an accidental savior, earning their title after loudly offering salmon-inspired culinary advice to a squad of Soul Chasers, distracting them just long enough for their quarry to escape. The salmon, they insist, is a much better listener than any book ever was.
