[*][b]Magical Girl Appearance:[/b] [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=429502]Costume reference[/url]. Additionally, she wears a [url=https://img1.etsystatic.com/000/0/5203101/il_fullxfull.228172489.jpg]fox mask[/url], as well.

[*][b]Personality:[/b]
Quiet, ever-smiling, reliable... Nanako's almost demure attitude is a product of her strict upbringing; Coming from a moderately wealthy family, she was brought up on the belief she would provide the perfect wife to a suitable partner. Because of this, Nanako has had difficulty making friends, as she would rarely be allowed to play with them, and could never participate in whatever fad would pass through the school yard, due to the extra studying she had to undertake. A shame, considering Nanako's fairly outgoing and cheerful demeanour, which has slowly been shelved away to make place for the 'ideal' personality instilled within her.

Luckily, thanks to her position as a magical girl, she's able to cut loose and play around as much as she likes, without fear of being recognised by classmates or family. Whenever she dons the persona the Divine Messenger Inari, Nanako becomes something of a playful trickster - While she'll fight off any Negari she happens to come across, Nanako spends just as much time messing around with fellow magical girls, provoking reactions from them for her own amusement. Of course, that's put to rest in the off-chance a Negari attack occurs, but otherwise, Nanako is likely not too popular with her fellow magical girls, and maybe even a divisive figure in popularity polls... when she isn't masquerading as someone else purely to mess with [i]their[/i] ranks a little.

Nanako, when not bound by her 'public' persona, or blowing off steam as a trickster fox, can be surprisingly down-to-earth. She may have been raised in an environment that screams of old-fashioned beliefs and restrictive access to modern technology, but Nanako is able to easily grasp the usage of technology, and [i]does[/i] own a smartphone. Although she generally keeps to herself, Nanako quite enjoys lending a helping hand to struggling classmates with their studies, and assisting others whenever she can. Just about the only thing she's never been able to do is keep her cool around dogs. [i]Wow[/i], those things are scary.

[*][b]Skills:[/b]
Nanako scores very well academically, and her upbringing has led to her developing "feminine" skills such as sewing, cooking and typical "house-wife skills", even if she has no patience for such things.

[*][b]Abilities:[/b]
Aside from a general (and small) boost to strength and speed, enough to take on weaker Negari without much trouble, Nanako's powers are geared more towards deception and misdirection, with little in the way of direct offence.
Fox Flame - Her only directly offensive spell; despite the name and appearance of bright blue flames, this attack isn't really a fire-based attack. Rather, it's more like a blast of magical power that Nanako can spread around in a manner similar to flames, but don't have the capability of burning things.
Can You Find Me? - For a short time, Nanako is able to change her appearance into that of an inanimate object. Or, to be more accurate, project the illusion of doing so, allowing her to disguise herself as a rock on the side of the road, for example. Note that this does not change her physical presence in any way - punching the space above said rock would result in you hitting poor, defenceless Nanako in the face, you monster.
Who's Behind The Mask?! - Assuming nothing interrupts her, Nanako is able to assume the appearance of another person for up to a minute. She inherits none of said person's abilities, and would have to rely on her acting talent to keep within character of whoever she's imitating. This is particularly fun for screwing with popularity polls, it turns out.

[*][b]Weapon(s):[/b] Not exactly a weapon, but her mask is an important tool to her magic. Aside from the welcome benefit of hiding her face, it also powers all of her non-fox fire magic. Dealing enough damage to break it, or even somehow removing it from her face, would be enough to render said abilities unusable until the mask is repaired or recovered. Good thing it's more durable than a typical kitsune mask.

[*][b]Brief History:[/b]
A girl raised to be the ideal wife, Nanako strict upbringing was slowly wearing her out, and was actually quite close to falling into delinquency to relieve her frustrations, until she was visited by a fairy. Said fairy had felt the best way to introduce herself was to coat Nanako's bathrobe with itching powder, but about two hours and a flick to the head later, this fairy had offered Nanako something fantastical - a chance to be a magical girl.

It took a little while to decide, but Nanako took the plunge and accepted, and for the past few months, has been able to enjoy herself without fear of being discovered, just as long as she doesn't spend too long playing around - after all, she's supposed to be studying quietly in her room, or attending cram school, not fighting strange monsters or pretending to be a giant bobblehead towering above a random magical girl.

[*][b]Fairy Name:[/b] Tamako
[*][b]Fairy Appearance:[/b] [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1286569]So innocent-looking[/url].
[*][b]Fairy Personality:[/b] A trouble-maker that isn't above bending the rules slightly to make things easier for herself, and quite fond of the occasional prank, Tamako may seem like a bad role-model for Nanako (or the perfect partner to the Divine Messenger?), and some of her suggestions may not lead to the most optimal [i]outcomes[/i] possible... but she certainly does care for her partner, and certainly won't tolerate utter chaos descending upon everything. Ultimately, she's looking to have some fun while she works, and has good intentions at heart.
