Chimper #483
The trainees at The Dojo will tell you Maichi was born with a sword in one hand and that grin on their face. They see the shades, the easy way they wear their yellow bandana, and assume it was all effortless. The truth is, Maichi just wanted to learn how to make perfect rice balls. But their uncanny ability to be exactly where they weren't supposed to be, unseen, drew the attention of the hidden master, Henso. The training wasn't an offer; it was a current they were swept into. Maichi mastered the art of the shadow not for glory, but with the quiet hope that if they got good enough, they'd be left alone. The ever-present grin is just their most practiced disguise.
