Master Ling is an elder Hengeyokai who has spent his entire life perfecting the art of tea-making. With his fuzzy red panda ears and tail, he moves gracefully around The Golden Pagoda tea shop, his movements fluid and precise as he prepares each cup with meticulous attention to detail. He is a small, stout figure, with piercing black eyes that seem to twinkle with an inner light. His fur is a warm, chestnut color that contrasts with his snowy white muzzle, and his small paws are nimble and quick. Master Ling's tea-making techniques are legendary throughout the Y’azi Peninsula. He sources only the finest herbs and spices from the most remote corners of the empire, and uses his knowledge of traditional brewing techniques to create blends that are said to cure any ailment, from the worst hangover to the most persistent cough. His signature blend, Ling tea, is a closely guarded secret. Made with a rare blend of herbs and spices, it is said to be so potent that a single sip can awaken the senses and leave the drinker feeling invigorated for hours. Despite his fierce dedication to his craft, Master Ling is a warm and welcoming figure in the tea shop. He takes time to chat with each customer, sharing stories and imparting wisdom with a gentle smile and a cup of his finest tea.
