Meet the Characters
Zen
The Bear Elder · Wisdom Voice
Ancient, unhurried, and annoyingly correct. Zen sees market cycles the way a mountain sees weather — temporary disturbances in an otherwise long story. He believes wealth is built in stillness, not reaction.
Dhandho
The Bull Builder · Energy Voice
Enthusiastic, loud, perpetually convinced this time is different. Dhandho isn't wrong about opportunity — he's wrong about timing. His energy is real wealth in waiting. He just needs Zen's patience to unlock it.
