KNIGHT | YIN — The Shadow Guardian
This Knight does not wear armor. They wear silence. Their devotion is not loud—it is deep, ancient, woven into the spaces most forget to notice. They know the Queen’s breath rhythm before she speaks. They guard her dreams, her secrets, her thresholds. They do not need applause. They *are the echo that prevents harm.*

– Can I protect without vanishing?
