DRK in training:
Tsuba's calm strength was never born from ease but from surviving what she rarely speaks of. The path of the Dark Knight called to her not because she sought vengeance but because she needed a way to protect others without denying her own pain. Where Paladins fight for order and tradition, she chose to fight for those the system overlooks, even if it means standing alone. Embracing the darkness was not surrender; it was reclaiming herself."They say worth is measured in loyalty,
but in the end I was just a sword-pawn,
moved across their board for wars and politics they never bled in...
when the commands fell silent, the glass shattered.
Let them keep their titles and thrones, as I will no longer be a knight by their grace.
My darkside has taught me truth.
I need only myself."Tsuba stands at a crossroads, where the line between salvation and damnation grows ever thin.

Hooks:
- [DRK trainee]
Baby tank for hire...- [Broken naivety]
A powerful concept for Tsuba. She doesn't stop dreaming, it's that the dreams start to look different.- ["Criminal/'bad'" group recruit]
(Friend), trying to reason, “That group... they're not who you are. You know that."
Tsuba, firm but quiet.. "Maybe not. But at least they believe in something. That's more than I can say for most people. Even chaos has conviction."- [Break from adventuring]
Cafe, Library, Tavern settings.- [Journal misplaced]
Tsuba's heart sinks when she notices her familiar leather binding of her journal is missing. Where could it have gone?
<"'Found something interesting...' 'This belong to you?' 'Price is non-negotiable.'" etc.>- [Or more...WIP]
