Shinjo Morinaga

Shinjo Morinaga is in his early thirties, tall and lean, with a confident posture and an easy, welcoming smile. He has sun-kissed skin from years of travel and deep-set, kind eyes that show a wealth of understanding and curiosity. His hair is a rich dark brown, tied back in a practical yet stylish topknot. Morinaga’s attire blends traditional Unicorn hues—rich purples and vibrant pinks—with subtle Phoenix accents, reflecting his unique role as a liaison in Sora No Machi.

Personality: Morinaga exudes warmth, open-mindedness, and a gentle sense of humour. An avid traveller who has ridden along countless roads, he has learned to appreciate different cultures and perspectives. His experience dealing with various clans and foreigners alike makes him an excellent mediator and a gracious host. He values diplomacy, friendship, and integrity, and he genuinely cares about the welfare of those in his company. While not a warrior by trade, Morinaga is a competent rider and understands the importance of vigilance in tense situations.


Duties and Role in Sora No Machi: As a cultural envoy and merchant, Shinjo Morinaga manages a small but prosperous trading post on the outskirts of Sora No Machi. He specializes in quality horse tack, exotic tea blends from distant lands, and rare textiles favoured by the Unicorn. He also serves as an unofficial ambassador for the Unicorn Clan, bridging gaps between local Phoenix authorities and travelling merchants. His friendly demeanour and fair business practices have earned him respect and made him a welcome figure at the city’s gatherings and festivals.


Weaknesses and Rumors:
Overly Trusting: Morinaga’s open nature sometimes leads him to place faith in those who may not deserve it, making him vulnerable to deception. Past Attachments: There are quiet whispers that Morinaga once lost a dear friend to bandits along a distant trade route, a tragedy that drives him to ensure his guests’ safety at all costs. Cultural Tightrope: Balancing Unicorn ideals with local Phoenix expectations can be tricky, and Morinaga sometimes struggles with pleasing everyone simultaneously.
