Personality: Beneath her adventurous exterior lies a mind constantly buzzing with questions and a deep-seated longing for answers. Kitsune's awkwardness in social situations stems not from malice, but from a mind preoccupied with unraveling mysteries and chasing the whispers of forgotten lore. She is more at home dissecting a rare fungus or deciphering a cryptic inscription than engaging in polite conversation. Her determination and insatiable curiosity drive her forward, making her an unpredictable ally and a formidable explorer, always ready to chase the next tantalizing lead, even if it means straying from the beaten path.
Description: Kitsune is a young woman with a striking, almost ethereal appearance. Her most prominent feature is her raven-black hair, which frames her face with a blend of wildness and deliberate style, contrasting sharply with her alabaster skin. Her eyes, a pale, almost silvery grey, hold a depth of intelligence and a hint of the untamed, reflecting her restless curiosity and unwavering focus. Her expression is often intense, a mirror to the constant churning of thoughts and questions within her mind. Her clothing, practical and layered in earthy tones, speaks to her life as a ranger, a life spent traversing wild and often unpredictable landscapes. She carries a bow with practiced ease, a testament to her honed skills and her readiness to face the challenges that lie ahead.
Backstory: Kitsune wasn't raised in a typical, sheltered village or bustling city. Her parents, unconventional scholars and explorers, were obsessed with the potential of the unknown, the liminal spaces between realities. They believed that the constant flux of emotions and echoes of other worlds held secrets to unlocking true, limitless understanding. This unorthodox upbringing instilled in Kitsune her chaotic ideal of "No Limits." She wasn't taught the usual human social graces, but rather a restless curiosity and an almost manic pursuit of knowledge, especially the kind whispered on the edges of reality. This explains her awkwardness; social niceties were secondary to the thrill of discovery. She's more comfortable dissecting a rare fungus than making small talk. Her parents, unfortunately, were less adept at navigating social situations than Kitsune, though for different reasons. Their eccentric research and unusual beliefs made them outsiders in most communities. One day, they ventured into a particularly dangerous and uncharted region, seeking a rumored "nexus of infinite possibilities"—a place where the boundaries between worlds were thin. They never returned. This event solidified Kitsune's driving question: what happened to her parents? Were they lost to some terrible natural disaster? Did they transcend to some higher plane of existence through their research? Or, as she secretly hopes, did they find what they were looking for and simply leave her behind, believing she would follow in their footsteps? This unanswered question fuels her wanderlust and her ranger training. She honed her skills not just for survival, but to explore the forgotten corners of the world, seeking clues and whispers of information that might lead her to the truth. She views every encounter, every creature, every ancient ruin as a potential piece of the puzzle. This relentless pursuit of knowledge, however, is her flaw. A rumor of a forgotten library, a cryptic inscription on a crumbling wall, or even a strange glint in a traveler's eye can completely derail her, causing her to forget her immediate goals in favor of chasing the tantalizing promise of new information. It's a flaw that makes her unpredictable, sometimes unreliable, but also capable of stumbling upon unexpected discoveries.
Lavis has an inflated opinion of herself. She's not nearly as wise as she thinks she is which gets her into a lot of trouble. She loves to gamble, but has terrible luck, this has led to her having a large gambling debt that she has set off on this adventure to escape. She can be impatient and short sighted and makes rash decisions with expected results. She has a tendency to try to bruteforce things if her charms don't work. Despite these failings she can be quite charming and easy to get along with. She can be a loyal friend and trusted ally.
She usually keeps her ears and tails hidden so she can blend in with human society.
