Misame

The Great Panda City runs on discipline; its people are famously unaffected by the freezing mountain winds. Misame, however, is affected by everything, especially the steam rising from a bowl of noodles. They were sent as a shadow agent to observe the Panda Council, their polished platinum form meant to be an asset—a brief, elegant flash in the city's purple twilight. Instead, it makes them a very shiny, very obvious target. Their handlers expected reports on border patrol routes. They receive detailed critiques of dumpling fillings. The carved cane at their side is a high-frequency transmitter, but Misame mostly uses it to reach for the last piece of tempura. They complete their missions, but always with a full stomach, leaving a trail of empty bowls instead of bodies.
