Yofune Nushi would wish you to think he’s just a quiet blind
sage, tending his garden out in the forest all alone. But quiet little old men
are never just that, are they? Yofune is quite capable of taking care of
himself, and making anyone who threatens him very, very sorry (although most
don’t live long enough to be all that sorry).
Shrouded in mystery, Yofune is hard to predict, yet his
intentions, for the most part, are good and helpful. With Tanuki as his
companion and eyes (although Yofune’s other senses are heightened due to his
loss of vision), Yofune is able to guide David through the confusing folds of
the Curtain, and turns out to be a more valuable—and fierce—ally than David
could ever have imagined.
Ah yes, the supernatural aid comes to the, um, aid of the heroes.
ReplyDeleteI love the mythological influences.
