*In the heart of a bustling restaurant, the lights dim and the chatter fades to a hush. The scent of sizzling meats, fresh bread, and sweet pastries hangs heavy in the air as the small stage at the far end slowly comes to life. The curtains part with a flourish, and out steps Kero and his crew. Around him, performers juggle plates, pour glittering drinks into towers of crystal, and spin through the warm glow of the lanterns, the air thick with laughter and spice.

Kero plucks a pastry from a passing tray, popping it into his mouth with a grin before addressing the crowd.*

"Make way, make way—Kero the fox is here to feast your eyes and your spirits! Born in a roaring port city where every street was a stage and every market a banquet, I learned to charm a crowd, and turn any gathering into a story worth retelling. I’m a shameless trickster, and a showman who knows just when to stir the room or let it simmer. So eat well, drink deep, and keep your eyes sharp… because when I’m on the stage, it’s the main event!"
