Info
Type Stat Ancestry Griffon Age 19 Gender Female Class Monk Affiliation Fists of Mercy
Tsavo is a griffoness monk and founding member of the Fists of Mercy, known for her direct approach to problem-solving and formidable combat abilities. Born into nobility in the Marrow Kingdom, she abandoned her aristocratic obligations to pursue adventure and freedom on the surface world.
Background
Tsavo was born into a noble family in the Marrow Kingdom, where she was expected to fulfill the traditional duties of aristocracy. Despite her privileged upbringing, she found noble life confining and sought escape through martial arts training with her mentor Mr. Hoofstrong. His death in a training accident deeply affected her and intensified her desire to leave the underground kingdom behind.

Tsavo enjoys a relationship with Ping Wing
During her youth, Tsavo frequently bullied Ping Wing, displaying the aggressive tendencies that would later serve her in combat. When she discovered Ping Wing and Marcerine’s plans to escape to the surface, she immediately volunteered to join them, eager to abandon what she described as the constraints of her “small known world.” Her noble background proved advantageous during their adventures, as she could convincingly adopt aristocratic mannerisms when infiltrating high society, such as when she posed as royalty from the “House of Secretary Birds” to gain palace access.
Tsavo is now the wife of Ping Wing after they married at the end of Mercy.
Abilities
As a monk trained in martial arts, Tsavo possesses exceptional physical capabilities including tremendous strength, advanced hand-to-hand combat skills, and surprising agility despite her muscular build. Her natural talent for intimidation serves her well in confrontations, while her remarkable resilience allows her to recover quickly from injuries that would incapacitate others.
Though lacking magical abilities, Tsavo compensates with sheer physical prowess and an instinctive understanding of combat dynamics that makes her the crew’s primary frontline fighter. Her training under Mr. Hoofstrong provided her with both the technical skills and mental discipline necessary for her role as the group’s main combatant.
Exploits
Tsavo played a crucial role in the Sock Pirates’ escape from the Marrow Kingdom, participating in the dangerous journey through the Maw of Innocence and helping coordinate their infiltration of the royal castle. Her relationship with Ping Wing evolved from childhood antagonism to romantic partnership throughout their adventures, culminating in their marriage at the end of the Mercy Saga.
During the conflict with the Swamp Pirates, Tsavo’s combat skills proved essential in numerous battles, including the rescue operations at Henge and the final confrontation with their leadership. Her physical strength and fighting prowess consistently provided the group with tactical advantages in direct combat situations.
In the Archibast Saga, Tsavo participated in the tournament competitions and helped investigate the Red Eye incidents affecting the local population. Her experiences culminated in a direct confrontation with the villain Vida, who tried to eat her and isolate her from the party in increasingly cruel ways.
