Kohono

If one were to ask about the scholar Kohono in Waterfall City, they wouldn't be sent to the temple, but to the noisy docks below. Kohono's real school, a serene library of priceless scrolls, burned to the ground years ago, an act of jealous rivals. They fled with nothing but the clothes on their back and a quiet, searing rage that etched lines around their mouth. For a time, they were just another bitter soul lost in the city's roar. But the city had its own lessons. They began by correcting a boatwright's faulty design with a furious scrawl, then showed a fisher a more efficient knot. The hot temper that was once their ruin became the engine of their new purpose: a fierce impatience with anything less than perfect. They lost a place of quiet reflection, but found a classroom in the chaos of daily life.
