Bojji

Lore & Background

Bojji is the firstborn son of the king of Takunaha, but his birth defect—an inability to hear or speak—marks him as a disappointment in the eyes of the court. His stepmother, Queen Hiling, sees him as a stain on the royal line, and his half-brother, Prince Daida, openly mocks him. The kingdom's people jeer at his silent stumbling, calling him a fool unfit for the throne. Yet Bojji never lets their cruelty extinguish his gentle spirit. He finds a rare ally in Kage, a shadowy creature born of loneliness and scorn, who becomes his closest friend and fiercest protector. Together, they carve a fragile sanctuary in a world that rejects him, revealing the quiet, unyielding strength that lies within.

He forms a pivotal bond with Kage, a shadowy being who mirrors his own loneliness and becomes his ally and friend.
