Personality: Izayuki is extroverted, bubbly, with a funloving, silly air, and playful demeanor, all on the outside. Though she may seem childish at times and upon first impression, she does exert maturity and knows when to take a situation seriously or not. She is very optimistic and enjoys a good hearty laugh, joke, chitchat, and personal interaction in general. To others, she often seems overly-cheery and very positive in her honest words. This young mage is also very practical and observant. Despite what she may seem, she is good at living in the present and focusing on the realities over dreams and fiction. She has sharp senses and can pick up on cues in her surroundings, physical and social. However, Izayuki tends to not use her sensual functions to their fullest extent, making her a bit airheaded to a small degree. In general she can be quite forgetful and ditsy, or simply flares those traits simply for attention, for fun, or to purposely hide behind a small mask of sorts. She is very bold, however, and usually is not afraid to speak her mind when it comes down to it. While she can dance around things to a degree, Izayuki is honest and bold, ready to step out of her comfort zone at every time and happy to experience anything and everything.

To throw a monkeywrench in this lovely clockwork of positives, however, comes a good array of lesser qualities that most would be ashamed to mention. For one, Izayuki is very sensitive and thus extremely vulnerable to criticism. She can be very emotional and when backed up into a corner, can explode in very dramatic ways resulted from a feeling of being crushed. She completely loathes social conflict deep inside, but sometimes dismisses that by pulling another 'mask' which typically and unfortunately only seems to add fuel to a fire. Another fatal flaw is her short attention span and the fact that she is so easily bored. Izayuki craves experiences and motion, and going too long without action or intriguing subjects sets her on risky behaviors in many regards. Along with that short span of attention goes her unfocused behavior and inability to do longterm planning. She is by no means a good organizer or administrator, though will step up to the plate and do her best. Hyoujin despises the idea of failure or losing, being fiercely competitive almost to a fault- where it can become loathing. Friendly competition is good, but going farther than that sets dangerous grounds when it comes to Izayuki.

Character, charisma, and disposition do not end there, however. While it seems that this young adult is an average and balanced individual, darkness lies deeper. On the inside, a hardened and colder heart remain buried, yet ready. Izayuki has no problem with killing, and carries with her a wild hunger for revenge on the one who did her wrong in her past. Despite this, she remains in denial of her bloodlust and vengeance, which only makes it worse. In a way, she fears losing her bitterness and failing to reach her desired endgame, on top of everything else. In battle, she drives to meet the finish victoriously, regardless of any negativity that plays out in the aftermath. In a way, she has become apathetic to the world around her, and numb to almost everything anyone has to offer, be it good or bad. This is ultimately her true nature, and remains unseen to the rest of the world, and even the eyes of those whom are closest to her.

Name of Species: Tanuki Yokai | Bakedanuki

Baseline Dimension: A little under a foot tall, a little over two feet long in their true form.

Baseline Appearance: Natural fur shades of brown, tawny, or pure white. They are basic Japanese raccoon dogs with magical powers.

Culture/Origin of Species: The Tanuki Yokai, also known as the Bakedanuki, is a magical raccoon dog known for deception and playfulness. Neither dog nor raccoon, the tanuki is known for its skills in shapeshifting and playing pranks on others. Despite their love of a rather shady craft, Bakedanuki are generally more playful than malevolent, and have a knack for bringing good luck to those that win their favor. Favorite pranks include disguising dried leaves and pebbles as money, along with using illusions and shapeshifting for some "harmless" trick.

Traits:
• Shapeshifting | Bakedanuki are masters of disguise, and as such can freely shapeshift into almost any form they wish.
• Illusions | Along with shapeshifting, Bakedanuki can utilize various small and large scale illusions.
• Tanukitsuki | Like their fox counterparts, Tanuki have the ability to possess and unsuspecting individual.
• Good Luck Charm | Those who find favor in the eyes of a Tanuki, when around them, will gain +1 to their vitality aspect for a temporary amount of time.
• Curse Seal | Those who find themselves in a position of disfavor or anger of a Tanuki, when around them, will experience -1 to their vitality aspect for a brief amount of time.

Flaws:
• Bakedanuki cannot sustain shapeshifting for long, and many times when in human form, are unable to fully disguise their tails, ears, claws, or fangs.
• Tanukitsuki can sometimes be ineffective as features of the fox's physical form, such as tails, ears, claws, and the like can manifest. They are also easily purged from one they possess.
• Tanuki will often have something or someone they cannot see without changing back to their original raccoon dog form and being left unable to shapeshift. This could be an object or person they hold in very high regard, or in extreme fear.
