[b]Name:[/b] 
Niko Kodomo
[b]Nicknames:[/b] 
The little one, sunshine girl, Cat/Neko
[b]Age:[/b] 
15
[b]Gender:[/b] 
Female
[b]Sexuality:[/b] 
Heterosexual 
[b]Appearance:[/b] 
A short child at 5’3”, Niko would be easily brushed over if not for her energy. She has long blue-black hair down her back with choppy bangs, it usually appearing a mess because she’s too preoccupied to fix it. Her hair is usually pulled forward to leave room for her staff strapped to her back. Niko has wide hazel eyes, thin black eyebrows and a cute button nose with cute round ears to match. Her lips are fairly thin, and her cheeks are always rosy. Niko is thin herself, as well flat chested (which she is embarrassed about.) Her miko garb is big on her, but she doesn’t seem to mind (except when she trips.)

[b]Alignment and Fighting Style:[/b] 
Niko is Yang Water, meaning she stays in the back of the group and enhances her other peers abilities. She can boost magical power, summoning ability, and mental stability as well as clear any visual or mental tricks a yokai has cast. Niko can also increase physical attributes, such as giving someone a sudden burst of speed or strength. Because of her alignment, she isn’t a fighter, but can wack yokai on the head if she is left alone.

[b]History:[/b] 
Niko was a pretty unsuspecting little girl. She had an average middle class family, attended school and got average grades, and basically just lived a normal life. Niko was always curious and fascinated with magic, pretending to be a wizard when she was younger and sneaking into shrines when she was older. She always sad when she didn’t see anything, and returned home empty handed.
A little more than a year ago, Niko’s best friend died in a car accident. Heart broken and unable to keep up her usual happy character, Niko ran off into the woods to be alone. She stumbled upon a broken down shrine to some spirit, seemingly abandoned. As she sat down to weep on the cobblestone, she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was the spirit of the shrine with a concerned expression, who knelt down to comfort her.
From then on, this shrine spirit became her friend. Niko would visit every night with treats, and even helped clean up the place. But being able to see the spirit of the shrine meant she could see others, and they knew she could see them.
Niko was attacked by a wild spirit on the way to the shrine one night, her friend making it just in time to protect her. No longer safe on her own, the shrine spirit contracted themselves to her and they joined the nearby Obake shrine to protect Niko.
[b]Personality:[/b] 
Nicknamed the “sunshine girl” for a reason, Niko seems to bring light and joy wherever she goes. She can be a bit of a klutz and a pretty big airhead, but she’s one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. Niko is easily frightened and childish in manner, but some say this just makes her that more precious. Niko gets along with most anyone, and will be personally offended if she cannot get to be someone’s friend. She is a very obedient and rule following person who gets anxious around those who like to stray from order. Niko is a very caring and emotional girl, but can almost always be seen with a big goofy grin on her face. She is curious against her own good, and often gets herself into trouble because of her drive for adventure.

[h3][color=lightgreen]”Ah, don’t worry my dear. All is under control. *Glug glug*”[/color][/h3]
[b]Name:[/b] Tsugu (given to him by Niko)
[b]Nicknames:[/b] The drunkard, the tanuki, the thief 
[b]Preferred Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Sexuality:[/b] Pansexual [s]lolicon[/s]
[b]Appearance:[/b] A “gentleman” in his late thirties in Appearance, Tsugu just seems like your average drunken wanderer. Somewhat tall at 6’4”, Tsugu has messy blond hair haphazardly braided into a shorter amount with matching dot eyebrows. His purple eyes are a bit droopy in a sleepy look at all times, his lips often curled in a dopey grin. He wears common wanderer clothing in reds, greens, beiges, and black including black mesh fingerless sleeves. He has a straw hat tied around his neck loosely, and giant gourd of sake on his back with the symbol for “tanuki” on it. Most times he will allow his ears and tail to show, but can hide them if he pleased.

Though Tanuki can take on many forms, this is the only other consistant form he portrays. A fluffy little animal, with a white belly and a darker brown tip of his tail. His mask is also a dark brown. In this form he still has his straw hat. Usually he uses this form to be carried easily in Niko’s arms [s]and to attract children to pet him.[/s]

[b]Shikigami?:[/b] Yes
[b]Onmyouji:[/b] Niko Kodomoppoi
[b]Tier:[/b] Originally Tier 2, recently raised to Tier 
[b]Alignment:[/b] Yin Wood, Tsugu is a hard hitter. He is somewhat of a tank, with high defense (usually because his pain receptors are so shot due to him always being wasted) and real power behind his punches. Though he is a slow attacker, anything he does land is sure gonna hurt.
[b]Sigil:[/b]

[b]Powers:[/b]
[list][*][i]Shapeshifting[/i] is a common characteristic of Tanuki, in which they can copy any form they see. However, Tsugu can only copy. He cannot create his own unique appearances besides what his two different forms. He can also change other’s appearances by infusing a leaf with his powers and placing it atop their heads.
[*][i]Drunken Fist[/i] is a martial arts that tanuki have mastered. The more drunk he is, the more invincible he seems to be. You can keep knocking him down but he won’t feel a thing. His attacks are so wobbly that most cannot predict the movements, making it hard to block.
[*][i]Super strength[/i] is as it sounds, but also boosted by alcohol. The more he drinks, the more he can lift. On his normal consumption, Tsugu can move a boulder twice his size without thinking about it. A terrifying drunkard indeed. [/list]
[hr]
[b]History:[/b] Tsugu has been a wanderer for hundreds of years, stealing sake from humans and picking food off stands. He was caught one night and had to run off away from store owners he had “borrowed” goods from, finding an abandoned shrine to hide until they were gone. His plans were ruined when a little girl came running towards the shrine, causing the tanuki to squeak and hide.
Tsugu won’t admit that he was worried for little Niko when he saw she was alone and crying, but he did go out to comfort her. He offered her a cup of stolen sake, to which she giggled and said she couldn’t drink.
The little Niko kept coming back. Tsugu couldn’t bring himself to leave, knowing she would be heartbroken. So he sat every night and all day waiting for her and her treats. She even gave him the nickname “Tsugu” because he was always pouring himself more sake.
Then, she was late. Really late. Tsugu went out into the woods and found her being attacked by a Black Dog spirit. With one swift swipe, the dog was smacked hard into a tree and ran off whimpering.
Tsugu went with Niko to the Obake shrine after placing his sigil on the back of her shoulder, becoming her shikigami.
[b]Personality:[/b] A very calm and relaxed fellow, Tsugu is the kind of person to go with the flow. Very charming and amiable, he gets along with most, especially over a good few cups of sake (or in his case, a few bottles.) He’s very kind and gentle, but can be quite passive aggressive and snarky. Tsugu is a trickster and likes to play mental games with people, tending most to pester the dog spirit Inugami. He’s usually seem very relaxed and sometimes even sleeping with his gourd of sake on his belly. Like other tanuki, Tsugu is an entertainer and if you’re lucky, he may even play his belly drum for you. He can be a thief, and if you leave anything he wants out you can bet it won’t be there when you come back for it. 
[b]Other:[/b] Has a... vague interest in little girls.[/center][/hider]
