Kizuho

Kizuho carves a perfect leaf into a stalk of bamboo, ignoring the schematics of a hidden city entrance flickering across the screen fused to their head. Before this, life was simple in The Great Panda City; their hands were known for creating art, not for their silent patrols through shadowed streets at night. That changed when they found a strange relic on an expedition. It activated, grafting itself to them and flooding their mind with data—maps, enemy movements, and tactical weaknesses. Their hands still remember the patient work of a bamboo artist, but the artifact forces upon them the instincts of a spy. They walk the city as a wanderer, a living contradiction, wondering if the legends of Taihi's dual nature hold a truth similar to their own.
