This hauntingly beautiful Karakuri Geisha is a masterpiece of clockwork elegance and hidden lethality. Dressed in a traditional kimono and masked in a stoic Kabuki expression, she wields a folding war-fan with deadly precision. Perfect for any campaign requiring an elite assassin, a mysterious palace guardian, or a mechanical marvel of the East.
A masked performer pauses mid-dance, their expressionless face and sharp fan suggesting they may be more than a simple entertainer.
An elite urban assassin, a clockwork palace guardian, or a high-level social encounter NPC who can suddenly turn lethal.
