Kazu Hani

== Description ==
Kazu Hani, better known simply as Kazu, is a newspaper boy by day and a fun-loving noodle by night. Born on November 9th, 2000, in the frigid, mountainous regions of the South, this 24-year-old Arctic dragon stands a towering 13'1" tall on 2 legs, 7'5 on all fours and weighs a hefty 380 lbs which is light for a dragon of his nature. His serpentine physiology is striking, covered in a thick coat of light blue fur that provides insulation against the biting polar winds and mirrors the color of his piercing eyes. This fur, as soft as freshly fallen snow, also serves as a surprisingly comfortable cushion for enjoying his favorite food: noodles. In fact, one could say his very essence is tied to his love for them, being a "noodle dragon" in both spirit and heritage.
Despite his imposing size, Kazu is aligned with good, using his considerable strength and expertise to navigate the treacherous terrains he calls home. He comes from a long lineage of noodle dragons, a noble bloodline that undoubtedly contributes to his natural leadership abilities, strong moral compass, and, perhaps, his insatiable appetite for a steaming bowl of ramen, udon, or any other variety of the delicious, slurp-worthy dish. It's a running joke amongst the villagers that Kazu's love for noodles is almost as legendary as his lineage. He can often be found after a long day of deliveries, perched on a snowy peak, a large bowl balanced precariously on his lap, happily slurping down noodles with gusto, the steam rising around him like a comforting aura.
Kazu is primarily known for his work in delivering newspapers, a crucial occupation given the harsh and isolated nature of his birthplace. He likely possesses an innate understanding of the southern polar landscape, able to traverse even the most challenging passes with ease, his powerful tail acting as a rudder in the swirling snowdrifts. The chilling winds and icy expanses of his mountain home have honed his resilience and forged him into a force to be reckoned with. His thick fur coat would be essential in these conditions, providing crucial warmth and protection from the harsh weathers of any lands. His noble lineage and affiliation with good suggest a character of strong integrity and likely a deep respect for the land and its creatures – and, of course, for a good bowl of noodles. He believes there's no problem a bowl of noodles and good company can't solve.
== Lore ==
Born in an icy cave high on the tallest mountain, Kazu entered the world amidst tragedy. He was born to the sight of his murdered parents, killed by a Exterminator who sought not their hide nor their heads or trophies, but only the thrill of the hunt. Kazu was discovered by a group of dragons, nestled beside his mother's body, miraculously preserved by her Arctic genetics and the sub-zero temperatures. The dragons, moved by the sight of the orphaned dragon, realised that leaving him there would be a death sentence, decided to take him in. As they gently lifted him, he looked up at them with tears in his eyes, turning to his mothers corpse and with a shiver, he cried out.
“Mom! Please! Don't leave me, no… no… MOM!, DAD! I'm scared, I NEED YOU!”.
23 years and 10 months later
Growing up, Kazu was a bit of a loudmouth. He often got into trouble, stealing fish, digging snow tunnels, and playing pranks. He loved the attention. He never misbehaved in a harmful way and always followed the rules, despite how stupid he thought they were. He loved his little family—his parents and his brother—and wished for nothing to change, as what he had now was perfect.
He lives among the others in a small city named "North Way," 
In modern times, Kazu sticks to the peaceful life, staying out of drama, speed walking away giving nervous glares whenever a brawl breaks out or a heated argument occurs. Or if someone gets a bit too rowdy then he will find a spider in the corner of the room the most interesting thing going on right now. Despite his almost lonely history, being by himself brings him the most comfort. And after meeting Erithyr 
== Behavior ==
Kazu is often perceived as a quiet and reserved individual, a true "lone wolf" who values his solitude and personal space. He generally prefers to be alone, or with a very small, trusted circle, rather than in large, bustling crowds. This preference stems from his inherent shyness, which makes social interaction somewhat draining for him. Despite his solitary nature, Kazu possesses a deeply ingrained kindness and unwavering loyalty towards those he considers close. He's the type who would quietly go out of his way to help someone in need, without expecting recognition or reciprocation.
=== Environment & Routine: ===
Kazu thrives in quiet, serene environments, particularly those with a cool or cold climate. He finds solace and energy in the peaceful stillness of such places. You might often find him nestled in a quiet corner, lost in the pages of one of his cherished scrolls. He enjoys the calmness of a snowy landscape or the tranquil coolness of a hidden swimming spot, far away from the noise and chaos of busy areas.
==== Activities & Interactions: ====
* Exploration & Visiting the Human Village: Kazu’s curiosity drives his explorations. He approaches new places and experiences with a cautious yet inquisitive demeanor, observing and absorbing details that others might miss. While he enjoys the solitude of his explorations, he also has a soft spot for the local human village. These visits are typically brief and unobtrusive, perhaps just observing the daily life of the villagers from a distance or discreetly perusing a market stall. He finds a certain fascination in the human world, though he remains largely an observer.
* Swimming: Swimming is a beloved pastime for Kazu. The feeling of weightlessness and the coolness of the water provide him with a sense of peace and freedom. He moves with a natural grace in the water, whether leisurely swimming or exploring underwater environments. You may find him swimming any chance he gets even if it is just a little bit.
* Rest & Relaxation: Kazu prioritizes rest, often indulging in naps and long periods of sleep. This is not out of laziness, but rather a necessity for him to recharge from his explorations and, more likely, from the energy expenditure that comes with any social interaction. Sleep, for Kazu, is a refuge.
* Eating: He enjoys trying different types of food and will not hesitate to eat when he is hungry.
* Social Interaction: When Kazu does engage with others, he's a loyal and attentive listener. His shyness may make him hesitant to initiate conversation, but he values genuine connection and honesty. He shows his kindness through small, thoughtful gestures rather than grand displays of affection.
=== Aversions & Discomfort: ===
* Heat & Heights: Intense heat severely discomforts Kazu, quickly draining his energy and making him irritable. Similarly, heights make him anxious and uneasy. These are environments he actively avoids.
* Dishonesty & Drama: Kazu holds honesty and integrity in high regard. He is repelled by dishonesty and manipulative behavior, preferring straightforward and sincere interactions. He also shies away from dramatic situations, finding them overwhelming and unnecessary. Confrontation is not his style; he's more likely to withdraw from a heated situation than to engage in it.
