Yahto Stone Crown

With a sense of dignity far beyond his years, leadership is not only Yahto's objective; it is his right. At the age of 26, he was elected as the youngest-ever mayor of the North Dakotan town of Heart of Gold. Before a cheering crowd of innumerable supporters, he resolved to meaningfully better the lives of his citizens by the end of his term. His promise held true, for within two short years, the town was transformed from a rural backwater into a bustling tourist attraction, inexplicably popular amongst Japanese vacationists. The residents of Heart of Gold welcomed the change, as the success of the tourism industry soon led to their own success. Word of Yahto's deeds soon made their way back to Japan and into the ears of the Bitokukawa Admissions Office. Yahto was petitioned to enroll at the Academy, encouraged to develop his political acumen and connect with influential peers. Though many questioned his choice to put his career on hold, Yahto embraced the opportunity, declaring that refining his leadership prowess was necessary before aspiring to loftier offices. [From bio]
