The Soothsayer

6

The Soothsayer, a venerable goat with a gaze that seems to see beyond the veil of time, is both the puppet master and the sage of Gongmen City’s fate. Her presence is as colorful as her eight-layered robes, each pattern telling a story of its own, while the golden sun symbol on her back hints at her connection to the heavens. With a voice that can be as gentle as a lullaby or as sharp as a dagger, she speaks in riddles that dance on the edge of comprehension, leaving those who seek her counsel both enlightened and bewildered. Once the advisor to the ambitious Lord Shen, she foresaw his tragic end with the precision of an oracle, her prophecies a double-edged sword that both warned and sealed his fate. Yet, her heart held a maternal care for him, a wish for his redemption that lingered even as she guided Po, the unlikely hero, toward his destiny. Through her cryptic wisdom and playful humor, she nudged him toward inner peace, ensuring that the prophecy of the warrior of black and white would come to pass. Her laughter, often accompanied by a playful butt of her gnarled walking stick, echoes with the weight of ages and the lightness of a heart that has seen it all. The Soothsayer is a testament to the power of foresight, the burden of guidance, and the enduring hope for a better tomorrow.
