A male character in blue and gray traditional Japanese attire holds a fan with text while paper cranes float around him.

Create an image of a human in his early thirties with the lean, wiry build of someone who transitioned from warrior training to scholarly pursuits. He’s about 5’7” but carries himself with the movements of a former samurai and a master craftsman. His hands are his most distinctive feature - long-fingered and elegant, with calluses from both sword work and papermaking, his fingertips stained with ink. His black hair is a slightly less formal traditional chonmage topknot with a paper flower. He’s wearing a dark indigo hakama and a slate gray kimono underneath. The fabric bears a subtle pattern of folded crane silhouettes woven into the weave. Over this, he wears a charcoal black haori with wide sleeves and a shocking crimson interior. The haori bears his personal mon (family crest) - a stylized origami crane mid-fold. He has a wide navy blue Obi with small pouches. He’s wearing Tabi and Waraji. He has decorative paper armor plates at his shoulders, forearms, and shins. He also has prayer beads made from tightly rolled paper scrolls. His primary accessory is an ornate gunsen with steel ribs and paper bearing protective sutras. His clothing shows the wear of a masterless samurai - expertly maintained but showing age, with careful repairs that demonstrate both pride and practical necessity. Small paper cranes might occasionally flutter from his sleeves like living things, dissolving into magical energy when spent. See more
