Description
Hashi (a Japanese word for Chopsticks, his nickname), a blind panda monk with a high affinity toward reading the surroundings with his remaining senses. He is a proprietor of hidden hot springs in the middle of the forest, called the Sanctuary for wayward adventurers passing through. His true name is unknown, but how he earned his nickname is legendary: he can catch a fly with his chopsticks. Calm and kind, yet stern and polite, always ready to discipline when someone steps out of line. He also adopted a daughter who very much tests every ounce of his patience.

His robe is based on a Buddhist monk, which the majority of his mannerism and background is based on. The design is a half-robe and is closed just under his left pectoral, leaving his left side open. I want to mix his Buddhist influence with some Japanese features, which is the knot pattern holding his robe closed, and the geta on his feet.
