Raishin
Raishin comes from the Akabane clan, one of the most respected puppeteer families around. He's one of the few survivors—the rest of his clan was wiped out, which drives a lot of his motivation. He enrolled at the Royal Academy partly to sharpen his puppetry skills and partly to hunt down whoever destroyed his family.
What's interesting about Raishin is the gap between how he looks on paper and how he actually performs. His test scores are pretty rough, and he basically has no formal training to speak of, yet he's genuinely formidable in a fight. His real strength lies in his unconventional approach—he blends magic with hand-to-hand combat in ways that catch people off guard. Rather than relying on traditional puppet mastery alone, he's developed his own hybrid fighting system that makes him unpredictable.
His goal is straightforward: become the world's best puppeteer and get revenge on those responsible for his clan's destruction. It's the kind of motivation that keeps him pushing forward despite the odds.
