About Shiro Heida
Shiro Heida was born disfigured, his face was dried up and shriveled looking. Being the third son of a reputable family in Xin, the child was handed off to distant relatives in Qiao. The rice farmers lived simple lives and were rather isolated from the community. As a young boy, Shiro was rarely seen away from the fields or his home and rumors started to spread of a ghost living on his adopted family’s grounds. Realizing that the small community were starting to shun their home, the Heidas allowed their charge to socialize amongst the others. His ‘father’ made him a simple wooden mask and told him never to remove it in public.
The “Masked Boy” was awkward with others at first but eventually came to be accepted amongst the farming community. He was even sweet on one of the girls. They would play together often and seemed to be inseparable. One day though, in private, she asked him to take off the mask. Despite his father’s words, Shiro did so revealing his face for the first time. She screamed and ran, believing him to be some form of undead, like the rumors from so long ago. Shiro, heart broken, ran away from home.
As he ran, the young boy came across an old man on the road. Unbeknownst to Shiro, Old Soeji had finally come to see his grandson for the first time. The old man smiled and asked ”Why are you crying, little boy?”. The crying boy told Soeji his story and the old man dried his tears, giving him a hug. ”They are just afraid, Shiro.” the old man said. ”It’s not you who is wrong. Your appearance is only a small part of who you are. Your heart is what matters.” The young boy had calmed and was struck by Soeji’s words. Together the two of them returned to the Heida farm where Old Soeji was treated to a farmer’s feast.
Shiro tried to continue his life amongst the farming village, but it was difficult for him. Eventually he took on the job of a courier, hoping to visit Old Soeji in Xin. Throughout his early teens, the young Shiro would travel all over Yuanzi, meeting people and getting a lay of the land. So long as the mask remained on, Shiro was actually fairly popular especially with the poorer folk. Eventually, the teenage Shiro was picked up by a cell of imperial agents, recruiting him to act as a spy. He was assigned to Xin, where he would listen in on dissidents and criminals.
He would visit Old Soeji on occasion, though the old man was typically busy with the more prominent members of his family. However, when Shiro first joined the imperials, his grandfather got him a special present. The dog “Gou”. Gou was a loyal dog and was unafraid of his master’s appearance, much to Shiro’s delight. Him and his dog were never very far apart a since then. Still, it came as a surprise when Old Soeji called him to participate in the Celestial Challenge.
