Backstory
A Stage 7 Aether Refiner from Tenkoku Island and the de facto supreme authority of the Canopy Council. The name "Ishinochō" (Stone Butterfly) derives from a refinement technique for manipulating Aether Crystals as lightly as butterflies.
Ishinochō themselves most accurately grasps the omens of The Great Fall, but fears that making this information public would cause panic in The Canopy Isles and destroy the Council's authority. Believing "controlling information is the essence of governance," they view Sora's activities as dangerous and have placed her under surveillance.
