Seishirou

The Pilgrim of Ghosts was what the few travelers in The Dragon Wastelands called them. For years, Seishirou did little more than walk, a small friend on their shoulder, their ancient katana treated as a relic for study, not a weapon for war. They pored over scorched plateaus and skeletal remains, believing wisdom was found only in the past. That belief shattered when a corrupted beast, drawn to the blade's dormant energy, cornered them and their companion. In that moment of terror, Seishirou drew the sword not to analyze it, but to save a life. Power erupted from the steel, a blinding evolution that turned the monster to ash. These days, they wear makeup to honor the blade's awakened spirits. Their power is spoken of in the same breath as Washi's, but the specs on their face are a reminder that they are still just a student of a much larger world.
