[hider=Bunny][list][*][u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Minamoto no Soushi [*][u][b]Age:[/b][/u] Her name certainly dates back to the Heian Period and Soushi is quite clear that she's been around since the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter... which is about as close an age as you're going to get from her. [*][u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Female [*][u][b]Race:[/b][/u] Moon Rabbit. Technically a type of youkai, but she'd be quite offended to be lumped in with the rest of them. [*][u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] [url=https://i.imgur.com/GqA5JnN.png]Quite done with dressing in traditional clothing, thank you.[/url] [*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Polite and demure, it's easy to underestimate how much Soushi observes and how persistent she can be in the face of adversity--quite unlike the normal animal that she resembles. Her most notable quirk is a habit of treating [i]everyone[/i] else like a child to some extent or another, save for a few lunar inhabitants, even if they're a centuries old oni. On the plus side, this seems to extend to offering any and all visitors plenty of sweets on top of other food and drink. [*][u][b]Abilities:[/b][/u] As a moon rabbit, Soushi has two natural abilities: the ability to form illusions, and the ability to speak with rabbits. Of course, she's very good with the former--having had years to work with it--and can do far more than the common "make someone see something that isn't there." Whilst looking into her eyes is the easiest way for her to manipulate any of someone's senses for long periods of time, she's capable of influencing people simply from seeing her, or keying the illusion to a particular item--which is handy if, for instance, you aren't aware of exactly how many people are around. They're particularly strong illusions; knowing of their falseness won't dispell them even if they can be ignored, and illusory pain is no less incapacitating than actual pain. As an expert of applying illusions, it's not surprising that she's nearly impossible to place one on, and detecting light-based illusions is comparatively easy for her. As is magically breaking them. [*][u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] Do you need gardening, someone good at ceremonies and court protocol, or a supply of information? If yes, then Soushi's a good source--either because it's something that the moon rabbit herself knows (which is more often the case with simple knowledge) or because she probably has some way of finding out, so long as you can sufficiently persuade her. It should be noted that she is completely hopeless in fighting should her illusions fail. [*][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] She has a house/office, all nicely furnished. It's also full of strangely well-behaved and fearless rabbits. [*][u][b]Brief Backstory:[/b][/u] Like other moon rabbits, Soushi is on Earth to gather information--though that was far from her original purpose in being here. Instead, she was one of those rabbits to accompany Princess Kaguya in what would go on to develop into the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. However, when the princess returned to the moon, not all of her entourage did--Soushi, for one, ended up being part of the nobility in those periods, even getting married but generally concealing that she was a moon rabbit. Courts, of course, were the place to gather more information, and she's quite glad that such things no longer need to be done. With the development of more advanced communication methods and changes in society, the rabbit has been quite happy to independently supply any and all information that she can get her hands on, as well as passing it onto the moon. Though her primary role is to gather information, she also works as a point of first contact when new rabbits are sent: very few have the experience that she does (nor the wealth) to help with such a thing.[/list][/hider]
