Tokine
ときね (In Japanese, Tokine's name is written in hiragana.)
A nine-tailed fox yokai that dislikes humans.
Estimated ~110 years old. Known for her scowl.Kitsune are typically more powerful than humans;
Tokine herself is an unusually strong specimen.She has a harsh demeanor (and is slightly
dangerous). She's what's known as a tsundere.
Sound effect
•Tokine prefers natural settings. From what we've observed, she strolls through places like forests, mountains, and secluded riversides, and would avoid human cities.
Note: Tokine usually distances herself from humans;
recently, she seems to be trying out an urban lifestyle..?
•Traditional Japanese is her main aesthetic, referenced with visuals or even music (her sound effect is a biwa). After integrating into human society however, there may be hints of Y2K aesthetics.
•Independent•
She insists on doing things her way.
What may come across as stubbornness is simply Tokine's fierce sense of self-reliance.•Quick-Tempered•
Tokine is an impatient type, and quick to annoy. Aggression is usually spontaneous, so please exercise caution when nearby.
•Fearless•
Tokine is difficult to intimidate.
She's a powerful yokai, not a human!... She is unfazed by most physical dangers.•Reserved•
Getting to know Tokine is difficult.
She often acts distant, refusing to verbally communicate what she is thinking or doing.
Physical Boons
Similarly to a fox, she has good eyesight, hearing, and is incredibly agile.
She is known mostly for her devastating kicks, though her punch isn't much worse!Magic ability: Clones
Tokine can create independent clones of herself.
Each copy only has one tail, and there can only be up to 9 of Tokine total.
Magic ability: Intangibility
This manifests as a pink cloud of smoke wherever Tokine was standing. Poof.
Tokine can seemingly teleport, avoid attacks, or sneakily appear where you'd least expect.Magic ability: Shapeshifting..?
...She doesn't actually know how to fully change her appearance. The best she can do is transform into a giant, which (to her credit) is still very threatening.
