Two new OCs!!! Meet Shōmatsu and Saiboku, a swordsmith couple!
While both are expert smiths, they eash have specialties they're known for. Shō specializes in unique nichirin weapons aside from the usual katanas (think axes and polearms, or like Tengen's swords and Gyomei's flail). Sai specializes in weapon alterations and detail work (etchings, design, even additions that assist an impeded wielder)
Shōmatsu was heavily inspired by Eda from The Owl House, and is absolutely the "idgaf Im awesome" older lady that has her cake and eats it too
Saiboku is a large man of few words, but he's very gentle and well loved by the community and especially the children! He's very secretive about his face, even his wife has rarely seen him without it on
