Miyo is a young kitsune that can be found frequenting various locations around Yuriba. Known for her particularly small, waif-like appearance, wanton exploring and investigating, her shy, skittish personality, and excitable, cuddly nature. Hailing from a fantasy-based Feudal Japan, where many of the legends are real and folklore is part of every day life, Miyo is not unfamiliar with the stranger concepts around Yuriba, such as various species of denizens, the types of magic on the island, and the various goddesses associated with the Yuriban pantheon. Miyo received training to be an onmyouji, a practitioner of Onmyōdō (lit. The way of Ying and Yang), a traditional japanese esoteric cosmology, a mixture of natural sciences and occultism. At the same time, she served as a Miko Priestess at a Shinto style temple.

Personality

General

Miyo is a skittish little fox. At first, she often gives the semblance of being rather young and immature, and by fox standards, she likely is. However, at the rough age of twenty-seven, she has a tad more maturity than meets the eye at first. Often stuttering and stammering nervously when she meets and interacts with unfamiliar people, Miyo may seem like she will bolt and run away at any moment. All full of blushes and fidgety as can be, the little fox proves to be resilient in the face of adversity - at least unfamiliar faces of unfamiliar people - and works hard to get along with everyone.

Even among people that she does not know well, Miyo can be a cute little thing. Often doing her best to be nice, helpful, and entertaining, the kitsune's presence is rarely disliked. Though she is not the bravest of sorts, Miyo will often get around her shyness and get close to people, sometimes in a physical fashion, as she greatly enjoys attention, such as being petted, held, hugged, or otherwise. Ironically, she even enjoys when Allya of the Baby Seal picks her up and shakes her.

As a fox, Miyo has some odd habits, or perhaps not so odd when it comes to the denizens of Yuriba. Miyo is a sleepy fox, often napping wherever and whenever she is when the need sets in. This is particularly frequent as she has never shown a deep reservoir of stamina, in fact, she has done just the opposite. More often than not she undergoes preventative safety measures in case she gets tired while doing something, such as wearing arm floaties in the pool in case she wears herself out playing.

In Relationships

Friendships

Generally, once Miyo has lost her usual speedy speech, rambling, stuttering, and rampant blushing, one can consider themselves on a level of friendship with the little kitsune. For the people who have attained this level of a relationship, Miyo is an adorable little companion who is willing and often ready to follow people around and keep them company, help them with anything that can be helped with, as well as receive plentiful attention from those willing to give it to her. Miyo is certainly not shy about cuddling with people, often taking up position on a lap or snuggling with people as they lie down. Beyond anything, the kitsune is as loyal as they come, and will always show that she is willing to do whatever it takes to be friends with someone she likes.

Physical Description

Physique and Static Features

Kitsune

Miyo is a young girl, or at least appears to be young. Seeming to be no older than her mid-teens, she has a rather waif-like and unimposing persona. Standing at roughly four feet and eleven inches tall (including ears), and weighing in at a mighty eighty pounds (on a good day), she is both diminutive and unassuming. Her frame is slight and petite, with a slim waist, flat tummy, narrow shoulders and hips, a small, round bust and a little bottom, as well as slender legs with a slight gap between them.

Miyo has a heart-shaped face with soft features, pretty yellow eyes and thin, pink lips, a small, unobtrusive nose, and well-groomed eyebrows. Her hair is a lovely beige, as are her fox-like ears and tail. The only noticeable difference in her hair coloration are small tufts of snow-white inside the cups of her active, alert ears, and her swishing, fluffy tail that is nearly as large as she is!

Other

Since finding the anyingnyanniichuan spring, the little fox named Miyo has not changed a whole lot outwardly, at least at a first glance. For the most part, Miyo appears to be young. Seemingly no older than her mid-teens, she has a rather waif-like and unimposing persona; standing at roughly four feet and eleven inches tall (including ears), and weighing it at a might eighty pounds (on a good day), she is both diminutive and unassuming. Her frame is slight and petite, with a slim waist, flat tummy, narrow shoulders and hips, a small, round bust and a little bottom, as well as slender legs with a slight gap between them.

Miyo has a heart-shaped face with soft features, pretty yellow eyes and thin, pink lips, a small, unobtrusive nose, and well-groomed eyebrows. Her hair is a lovely beige, as are her fox-like ears and tail. The addition of the shadowgirl spring’s properties has made its mark on her Miyo’s hair, augmenting the beautiful beige locks with tips of shadowy black, as well as the tips of her ears, as if they had been dipped in black. Her large, fluffy tail has acquired similar traits to her ears, proudly sporting a black tip. Very rarely, unless unbidden, do shadows whirl around the fox, but occasionally when she gets a bit excited in some manner she will leave some behind as she moves around.

Known Outfits

Miyo, the kitsune, is dressed in a fashion that might lead one to believe she is a Miko priestess of Japan, with a red and white theme. A sleeveless kimono-top starts the ensemble, paired with detached sleeves that bare her shoulders and droop down beyond her fingertips with their voluminous cuffs. Her bottom half is concealed by a short, pleated skirt, trimmed along the bottom hem with red. The complete the outfit, she wears a pair of simple white thigh-high stockings, leaving a slight bit of thigh between the skirt and the top of the stockings bared, coupled with simple, yet practical sandals.

The tiny fox has selected a traditional black kimono for her garment. Beneath the kimono, Miyo wears a white nagajuban, the consequently white han-eri pairing well with the black eri of the kimono worn over it. Upon the shoulders of the kimono, and descending down the sode and onto the voluminous tamoto are beautiful floral designs of gold and pink flowers that contrast beautifully with the black field they are presented upon. Holding the kimono in place is white obi with red and gray patterns upon it, a golden obi-age is partially hidden by the obi, which is then tied in a taiko masubi style knot. A reddish colored obi-jime is fastened around the center of the obi, with a golden obi-dome front-and-center. The one other thing to note about the kimono the foxgirl wears is that it lacks an ohashori, indicating that the kimono was tailored specifically to her, and not designed to fit anyone else. Miyo wears her kimono with a pair of white tabi, as would be appropriate, as well as a pair of black zori with red thongs to hold them in place.

Biography

Pre-Yuriba

Post-Arrival

Miyo arrived in Yuriba, bewildered and confused, soaked from the rain and lost in unfamiliar terrain. She had awoken from a nap beneath the statue outside of the Sleepyfox Bakery owned by Rockpath, and thankfully met the owner shortly afterwards. Rockpath invited her inside and the little fox binged on sweet treats and napped on bean bags until she recomposed herself. It proved to be a fairly rough time for the fox who had no idea what was going on and was worried about never seeing her family again, but Rockpath consoled her.

After the first day, Miyo spent a few with Rockpath and her girlfriend, Kenina, and stayed in their guestroom. The three bonded a bit and Miyo now considers them both good and reliable friends. More friends were soon to come, though, as Miyo began to explore. She came across a shrine prietess named Asuna who showed her around her shrine and helped her have a nice day, and then Miyo ended up in the Baby Seal. There, she met most of her new friends, such as Allya, Atropa, Belialtrix, Fea, and more. Miyo often enjoys swimming in the pool or playing games with the usual customers.

Miyo's exploration continued as she branched out, hunting down the suspicious tarot cards, the Jusenkyo springs, as well as other mysteries such as the lost woods and the folding house, neither of which she solved thusfar. Miyo even found several springs, though they were mostly common, 'public' springs, she did manage to find the shadowgirl spring, and is now intent on finding the lightgirl spring.

Powers

Kitsune

As a Kitsune, Miyo is likely to live a rather long life unless something unfortunate occurs. Her arrival on Yuriba was not far from her twenty-seventh birthday, but to many, she does not appear to be that old. Like other Kitsune on the island, there is a good chance that she could live several centuries, perhaps as old as eight-hundred years or more.

OOC Notes
Miyo is able to create servitors up to a human size out of handcrafted paper dolls that can perform various tasks. They are autonomous, but must remain in the same grid room as her. She can summon more than one if they are smaller. She can also utilize minor elemental spells based off of onmyouji techniques using paper tags, mantras, and various mudras (handsigns).

One of the few powers common to kitsune like Miyo is the ability to manifest foxfire. Foxfire is blue fire, seemingly an illusion as it does not produce scorching heat like normal fire, but it does produce its own light and can be controlled consciously to some degree.

Onmyouji

Miyo is an onmyouji trainee, but shows promise in her techniques. Thusfar, she has only displayed a couple of her techniques to the other denizens of Yuriba.

Priestess

Note: Miyo is not serving as a priestess currently, and as such has no notable powers associated with her status.

Other

Though the springs frequently impose alterations upon those who acquire their traits, Miyo does not show a great deal of outward changes, aside from a little tinting at the tips of her ears, tail, and her hair. Instead, she seems to generate shadow based on her emotional output, most noticeably when she is embarrassed or overwhelmed by shyness, in which case she will generate a shadowy fog around herself.
