Byakko

byakko is the ancient, celestial tiger spirit that governed not only the western skies above Battle CIty, but the entire universe. During the manefestation war, Byakko and the other celestial spirits agreed to remain neutral and stay out of the conflict lest they lose their positions in the mythological hierarchy. At first, Byakko was happy to oblige this agreement. WHat did a conflict amongst mortals and their stories have to do with her? she had her tiger cub to protect after all. THe mortals could solve their own problems.

One day however, while Byakko was prowling the stars in the celestial realm, her cub got curious about the clashing mortals and the metals he heard in the mortal world. Curiousity got the better of the young cat, and he wondered down only to be mistaken for a manefestation and captured by blood lusted humans. WHen Byakko returned and saw that her cub was missing, she tore through the barrier to the mortal realm to save him. Luckily he had already been rescued by a human who had seen the young cubs capture, but while the cub was saved, the human was at death’s door. BYakko immediately returned her cub to the edge of celestial realm, but having broken the neutrality pact, Byakko could not return herself. SHe then relinquished her role as the guardian of the western sky to her cub, bound her soul to the man who had saved her cub, and vowed to stay with him until all manefestations were defeated and could then return to her cub. THus, THe Guard was born.
