Just a little story of hair

We all saw why Yuan Ka-Fai took a very good care of his hair. For Martel. But there are others secrets under this turquoise hair.

Why does Yuan dress his hair up as he usually do? Why into a ponytail?

The story begins four thousands years ago. It was war. Asclepios' land, which is now Meltokio's lands, had become morbid and deadly. There was blood everywhere, tripes taking a sun's bath, solitary heads... and one single survivor beyond his control: Yuan Ka-Fai, soldier of Sylvarant. Kratos finished his military service and he decided to stop playing to the good and obediant soldier. He found Yuan dying and he helped him. Because, even if he had been given a racist's education towards half-elves, Kratos had a heart, a sense of Justice, and more important, he had a brain. So he helped Yuan. He healed him, he took care of him even for things that seemed trivial. Being hurt, the half-breed man could not do many things. Even the simple fact of washing his hair was impossible for him since every movement a bit too ample made him suffer. So Kratos, kind-hearted, helped him. He did that softly, making sure he was not hurting his « friend ». He washed his hair and then brushed it with an amazing precision. Finally, he asked him how he wanted him to dress his hair up. Yuan did not know what to answer. He was not used to friendship coming from a human.

' I do not know... To tell you the truth, I don't mind. I never had the occasion of wondering about that. As long as it is clean...'

Kratos smiled. He searched in his stuff and found a white ribbon. Suddenly, he had an idea. He tied the turquoise hair up into a ponytail, letting a simple lock of hair fall upon his right temple. The half-elf had difficulties to admit it but Kratos had an excellent idea.

Since this event, Yuan always dressed his hair like this, in memory of this friendship litteraly born on a battlefield. He thought he would die there, somehow, he was reborn there. He will continue to dress his hair like this, even if their friendship went through many troubles, even if sometimes they do not understand each other anymore. Because Yuan is not ungrateful. Moreover, his ribbon is still the one Kratos used. Sometimes, he thinks of it and his heart hurts him. But then, Kratos arrives and he sheds his tears.

Today, Yuan still dresses his hair up like this but there is now another reason to this. Friendship but also Love. Honestly, Kratos is not a human between all others! Formerly, Yuan would have never loved a human being.
