Le Petite Bouche

Le Petite Bouche, which translates from French as The Little Mouth, are a historical band of rebel practitioners of Martial Arts Dining who sought to achieve victory in combat without having to disfigure themselves to better aid in their gluttonous repasts. They succeeded in doing so by developing the technique Parley du Foi Gras, which consists of using speed and stealth to forcefeed your food to your opponent, and for this they became quite reviled by the orthodox practitioners.

The fate of Le Petite Bouche was tragic; due to living in a lifestyle where every meal was served under the rules of Martial Arts Dining, and where they could only achieve victory by giving away their own food, the members are implied to have all either abandoned the style altogether or else starved to death.

Whilst the orthodox practitioners of the style sought to suppress all knowledge of these radicals, lore of their existence was passed down in certain old martial arts-related texts. The occupants of the Tendo Dojo became aware of Le Petite Bouche's existence whilst they were engaged in a contest with Picolet Chardin II, with the stake of his wedding a Tendo or Saotome daughter should they be unable to best him in Martial Arts Dining. Through their efforts, the secret behind Parley du Foi Gras was rediscovered, and the forbidden knowledge of Le Petite Bouche lives on after their death.
