I have spoken of his parents. I have spoken of his siblings. But I have yet to speak of Skobeloff's teachers. I account it high time to change that.

[hider=Skobeloff's Teachers]
Natsuki (She/Her): A kitsune who taught Skobeloff the ways of charm and trickery, as well as how to play the Long Game. She is 634 years old, has seven tails, and possesses powers rivalling that of a bearded dragon. Natsuki wanted the lessons that she and the other teachers had taught Skobeloff to come as second nature to him. So she put a spell on him that made it impossible for Skobeloff to recall what he learned from them if he actively thinks about it, forcing him to rely on instinct instead.

Shogu (He/Him): An oni who taught Skobeloff how to be courageous and act despite danger. He is old enough to possess the strength and intellect needed to make stone kanabō clubs, putting him on the same level as a bearded dragon. In his own words, his favorite activities are as follows: "Fighting, feasting, and... fings you're too young to know about."

Zakuya (He/Him): A tengu who was meant to teach Skobeloff how to be cunning. Instead of doing that though, he tricked Skobeloff into doing various chores by claiming they were lessons in disguise. Natsuki had to pick up the slack as a result, and made Zakuya pay for it by having Skobeloff prank the tengu relentlessly as a final exam.

Kuaru (He/Him) and Kyoumibu (He/Him): A pair of Shinigami who taught Skobeloff how to use shadow magic. The malevolent Kuaru did so because he wanted to nudge Skobeloff down a dark path. Meanwhile, the morbidly curious Kyoumibu did so simply to see what Skobeloff would do with such power.
