[h3]Powers[/h3]

[i]Fox-Fire Manipulation[/i] - As a kitsune, Mizuki utilizes fox-fire as her main offensive weapon, including in unconventional ways such as hypnosis and life-force draining.
[i]Hair Manipulation[/i] - Mizuki can move her head hair and each of her tails as if it were another appendage, and use them for various purposes, including combat and comakinetic flight.
[i]Lunar Empowerment[/i] - "Mizuki" means "beautiful moon", and Mizuki is the lunar fox-spirit. When it is night, especially a full moon, her power is augmented.
[i]Trickster[/i] - Enhanced Thievery, Regenerative Healing Factor (slow).
[i]Kitsune Physiology[/i] - Enhanced Hearing and Smell, Night Vision.

[h3]Weaknesses[/h3]
[i]Go Big or Go Home[/i] - Mizuki is an on and off switch. When in a fight, it's all or nothing, which causes her to be far more aggressive than what is necessary for maximum effectiveness and survivability. She will rain down her own attacks without so much as thinking about a possible counterattack. If she sees it, she will counter it, but she's likely to not see it at all. This also applies to collateral damage, which she both doesn't watch out for and views as an acceptable price to pay in battle, so it's generally a good idea to stay far away from her in a fight.
[i]Type Chart[/i] - Mizuki and her fox-fire are very weak to water users, especially as fox-fire can contain electrical properties.
[i]Anti-K9[/i] - As a kitsune, Mizuki is weak to and afraid of dogs.

[h3]Personality[/h3]
Mizuki is a fiery kitsune with a similarly fiery personality. Thanks to her "hood" upbringing, her social filter often goes unchecked. She is sarcastic, snarky and cynical and enjoys playing tricks on people. At the same time she is protective and outgoing with those she likes. She rarely spends a night in, instead preferring to go out and experience the night life. She feels as if she is at her best during this time (and with her being the lunar fox-spirit, this deduction is well placed) and is extraordinarily confident once the sun goes down. She is fairly well known among certain Xiento circles for her club antics and exotic beauty, and she absolutely hates it. She'd much rather just live a normal life under the radar, but everyone else would rather watch a reality TV show about her.

[h3]Background[/h3]

Mizuki was born under the full moon in a small town in the Freelands. From a young age it became obvious that she was not a normal human girl. The apparent abscence of biological parents, the unusual things that she was capable of, and of course the tails that everyone around her lacked presented enough evidence that she was not the same. This, of course, was confirmed by the fact that she was ridiculed for it by her peers almost immediately. The less than civil nature of the culture surrounding her meant that she (along with everyone else) had to learn to fend for herself. As she grew up so did the intensity of the peer-to-peer cruelty, but she was learning the ways of both the world and herself at a rapid pace and she began using her fox-spirit abilities to deal with aggressors. It was when she was forced to kill an attacker in public view that she was told to leave town immediately if she wished to continue living. And so, at age 16, she left under the watchful eye of a full moon to head north and find a more civil place to continue her life.

That "more civil place" was a small town on the northern coast of Kora. It seemed quiet enough, and the populace integrated Mizuki into their society without much of an issue. However, there was a large problem that took a few years to surface: the town was (and is) an active High Roll Mafia area, due to its proximity to the port leading to High Roll Island, and after several run-ins and close calls with the mafia the fox-spirit decided it was in her best interests to leave for fear of a repeat of her experience in the Freelands. Being on the mafia's black list had far worse implications for Mizuki's life than getting kicked out of a podunk town in Okarlai, and so she packed her things and set off north once more.

When she first laid eyes on the seaside cliffs of southern Eqia, Mizuki had a feeling that Oasari would be the right place for her, without any felons or mafia to worry about. After a short period of time in Athalia Academy honing her combat abilities while getting educated a bit more formally than she had in the past, she found her way to Oasari's capital city of Xiento, and armed with her luxurious tails, her quick wit, and boundless amounts of snark and cynicism, the kitsune began to settle down, finally arriving at a sense of peace and security. She remains based in Xiento to this day, spending most of her time running away from people with cameras.

[h3]Further Information[/h3]
Mizuki was first introduced in the second episode of the non-canon Noxonshaw, long before she was introduced in-character. It was written by NarayanK and Driving Park as part of a many-hour collaborative episode marathon, which included the first two episodes of the Noxonshaw (Carmen then Mizuki) followed by the first episode of Carmen's show, Athalian Idol. The pair stayed up extraordinarily late completing the trio of episodes, concluding at approximately 7 a.m. EST.

The name Mizuki means "beautiful moon" in Japanese.

When posting for Mizuki, Mizuki's creator, Driving Park, often accidentally began typing the name Miyoshi, which is the name of a character he plays in a non-Athalia roleplay.

The original inspiration for the character came from a multitude of sources. The idea to link the character to the moon came from HylianRose when Driving Park first considered making a second character. A long time passed between that conversation and when development of a second character (that became Mizuki) actually begun, but Driving Park remembered the lunar suggestion and incorporated it into Mizuki's design. The idea to make Mizuki morally ambiguous came from three reasons:  the fact that it was the creator's apparent knack, the fact that the creator couldn't decide between making a nogitsune or zenko kitsune, and the fact that the two pictures the creator found (and really wanted to use) each portrayed a different morality.

The name "Kelly" was chosen long before Miyabi or even Mizuki, and was entirely chosen so that a certain Eurobeat song by the same name could be used as the character's theme. However, during character development it was realized that the character didn't at all match the extremely uplifting mood of the song, and the theme idea was scrapped but the name kept.
