Kuga Yuma, Wyndhaven Neighbor

Today's Swordtember prompt was Anchor and I designed a shortsword that, upon wounding a victim, creates a heavy weight like the Lead Bullet trigger from World Trigger. I immediately had the image of Kuga Yuma wielding the anchor sword and skulking about Wyndhaven, surviving as a thief and maybe assassin.

Yuma is a Neighbor in World Trigger; who would a neighbor be in Wyndhaven? Well, off the coast from Wyndhaven is the merfolk kingdom, so Yuma must be a merfolk who shifted into a human guise and came ashore. No idea yet how he got there or what he is doing, but he uses his anchor blade to steal without having to kill his victims; just a few minor scratches and most people are immobilized by the weights (which fade over time).
