White Dragon Warrior

Lore & Background

The White Dragon Warrior is a descendant of one of the four dragon-blooded warriors who joined King Hiryuu two thousand years ago to purge Kouka of evil. After Hiryuu's death, the warriors dispersed, and their legacy shaped the nation into five tribes. The White Dragon's power is a claw capable of cutting through anything, passed down through bloodlines. Kija, the current bearer, was raised in isolation by villagers who revered him as a living legend. His father, the previous White Dragon, scarred him at birth, causing deep-seated trauma. Despite his naive and eager personality, Kija suppresses his romantic feelings for Yona to respect her relationship with Hak. Alongside the other dragons, he can summon protective shields for Yona in battle.
