[@AnaSilan Sunja] [hider=Ayane][b]Name:[/b] Ayane Shinimura [b]Age:[/b] 103 [b]Supernatural Race:[/b] Kitsune [b]Ethnicity/Race:[/b] Japanese [b]Appearance:[/b][hider=Human][img] http://orig14.deviantart.net/20e3/f/2015/127/5/9/kitsune_mask_by_jollyrose-d8sgmlz.png[/img][/hider] [hider=Fox] [img]http://www.pdza.org/files/library/arctic-fox-002_m.jpg[/img][/hider] In her human form, Ayane wears a leaf hair pin, which is a part of her concealment spell. The spell hides her ears and tail, and makes her hair appear to be an ordinary shade of black, making her look no different from an ordinary human. When she wishes to reveal herself, crimson markings appear around her eyes, down her arms, and down her back, signifying her divine nature. [b]Personality:[/b] Curious, optimistic, and aloof. Ayane is an impulsive fox with little concern for long-term consequences. She does what she feels like, though she is a kind-hearted creature, so this rarely involves causing harm or mayhem. She is accepting of all kinds of people be they sinner or saint, and enjoys learning about the way other people think. However, she has a ruthless side should she conclude that you are her enemy and has no qualms bloodying her hands should the need arise. [b]History:[/b] Ayane was born in an ordinary litter of fox cubs, raised by kind and loving parents. She was protected while her parents taught her how to fend for herself as well as how to use her magical abilities, but the urge to venture off is stronger than familial ties among kitsune. She was neither the first nor the last of her litter to break away, but one day she felt she was able to take care of herself, and set off to see the world. She flitted from place to place, sometimes living as a fox in the wild, other times mingling among the humans. The city of Gravette, though, intrigued her. She found the turmoil that existed under the city’s mundane surface fascinating, and so decided to settle down and stay for a while. She got a job at a local Starbucks, and has been living in the city for about a year. In that time, she occasionally got herself wrapped up in the war. She befriended some fellow supernaturals, helped hunt some rival supernaturals, and even fended off a hunter or two. To her, it is all one big game, and she’s found herself a little niche. [b]Strengths:[/b] -Ayane has been taking self-defense classes at a local gym, and has proven to be a rather tough girl despite her dainty appearance. -Ayane is a survivalist and knows quite a lot about nature and how to live in the wilderness. She also has a green thumb. -Ayane has sharp senses, including a keen nose, eyes, and ears. While she can’t track an individual’s odor, she can identify scents that the average human cannot. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] -Ayane is careless and aloof. She is still young for a kitsune, and her reckless actions can easily get her in trouble. -Ayane has quite a bit of “street smarts,” but “book smarts…” not so much. Her reading comprehension and math skills would probably be too weak to get her a GED. -Ayane is good at getting out of tight situations, but she is prone to panic when she’s cornered or outmatched. [b]Stance:[/b] Officially inactive, though she has been known to help people that she likes on both sides of the war. She is perhaps a bit too naïve to fully process the consequences of such actions… [b]Special Power/Skill:[/b] [u]Foxfire[/u]: The fundamental force behind all kitsune magic. In its raw form, foxfire is a pale blue flame that can either give off a warm light, or burst into a blazing inferno. The flame is divine in nature, so it is effective against even creatures that are immune to mortal flames. In addition to combat, foxfire is also used in illusory magic. Ayane coats herself in foxfire to make herself appear human; she can also change her appearance as she likes. She can create false sounds and images, and has learned to use the flame to forge legal documents. [u]Kitsune Movement[/u]: Ayane is more swift and agile than a normal human. She is capable of all manner of acrobatics, can leap great heights and distances, and can even land lightly from great heights. She has impeccable balance, capable of standing on tightropes with a single foot, and can even walk across bodies of water. [b]Other:[/b] All kitsune possess a glass sphere called a “Hoshi no Tama” or Star Ball. This glass sphere is the source of a kitsune’s magical powers, and if one manages to steal it, they can neutralize a kitsune’s powers, potentially enslaving them until they decide to give it back. Yukine keeps her Hoshi no Tama in her apartment, disguised as a cheap necklace in her jewelry box. [/hider]
