Suzaku · 朱雀 — Sacred Red Bird of the South

The divine red bird that guards the southern direction among the Four Symbols of East Asian mythology. Similar to the phoenix but fundamentally different: while the phoenix symbolizes rebirth, Suzaku is the guardian deity of summer, fire, and war. Its five-colored plumage causes all southern flames to surge in unison when its wings are spread. A celestial entity directly linked to the southern star mansion.
