  The information in this section as well as the "Likes & Dislikes" section beneath this may be considered character spoilers as they detail Shiori's personality and characteristics. If you would rather discover these through regular roleplay, please skip over them. :)

  
  ☯ religion: Shinto
  ☯ deity: Inari
  ☯ stability: usually quite stable and rational but can be quite emotional depending on the situation at hand
  ☯ intelligence: highly intelligent, as is accustom to her kind
  ☯ memory: she forgets very little, even the most minute of details
  ☯ obsessions: rare scrolls, unique/exotic gemstones and jewels
  ☯ fears: dogs, binding/banishment magic being used against her
  ☯ temperament: quick to anger but not to explode; calmly calculated revenge is much more her style
  
  ☯ submissive or dominant?: highly submissive; though can sometimes switch roles depending on her mood
  ☯ peaceful or violent?: peaceful; though can turn extremely spiteful/vengeful when angered
  ☯ introvert or extrovert?: neither; somewhere in between
  
  ☯ morality: amoral; believing neither in good nor evil she stands as a balance between the two
  ☯ alignment: Lawful Neutral, Neutral and Chaotic Neutral; she can normally fall into any of these three, practicing a balance of each. Like most kitsune she values freedom; namely hers above all others and follows her own code of morals and ethics.
  
  An example of lawful might be closely following an order from Inari without question. As neutral she may make a decision based on her own views on 'right' and 'wrong' and as chaotic she may abandon all care or concern over rules or traditions to act upon her own personal feelings on any matter. She switches between these three alignment types at will and thus is often considered to be some unpredictable company.
  
  She may react accordingly to those who act out before her in that if someone offends what she considers 'right' she may become malicious and disruptive, sometimes even vengeful. While if one acts according to her ethics, she may become polite, kind, and helpful toward that (or those) individuals.
  
  ☯ quirks: overly 'proper' to a degree she may appear stiff or out of place in modern society (i.e.: clasped hands in lap, constantly upright posture, formal manner of speaking, etc), shifts into feral kitsune form and runs when greatly startled
  ☯ peeves: being put on a pedestal, too much attention focused on her at once, people who harshly/inaccurately judge her, being hounded after for promises or wishes without good reason
  
  ☯ merits: polite, fiercely loyal, passionate, confident, intelligent, loving, astute, strong willed, determined
  ☯ flaws: loyal to a fault, emotional, sensitive, easily distracted unless intently focused, paranoid
• 
  
  
  ☯ likes: being treated as an equal, friendly spirits, illusions and trickery, reading, practicing magic, meditating, exploring, interacting with others, eating/feeding (see other information for details)
  ☯ dislikes: being treated as a deity, being begged (for promises, wishes, etc), thieves (namely those who attempt to steal her star ball), genuinely rude/hurtful people

  ☯ Eating & Feeding: The difference between these two are simple. Eating is the act of consuming actual food and drink, keeping her body healthy and alive. Feeding is the process of slowly consuming energy from the world around her, namely from nature itself. However the most efficient form of feeding for any kitsune is through sexual intercourse with a willing partner as it is the most satisfying for both parties. This will not harm the partner in question and will likely leave them feeling more blissful than intercourse with others as a kitsune is no mortal being, but a powerful spirit. This sort of feeding is for the purpose of rejuvenating her magic force.
  
  ☯ Origin: Japan; much of her clothing, mannerisms, traditions and religion along with the appearance of her human face all make this very obvious. She is able to speak, read and write in traditional Japanese (kanji, when writing).
  
  (Although I may use Japanese during roleplay VERY sparingly, feel free to correct me if I happen to get anything wrong. I know very little Japanese, so anything I use will most likely be self-taught or google searched. I mean no offense to anyone if I mess something up, but when correcting me (which I prefer you do since it helps me learn) please do so OOCly as opposed to ICly, as it would be uncharacteristic for my character to get any of her Japanese even remotely wrong. Thank you for your understanding!)
  
  ☯ Star Ball: This is the crystal that is formed upon the birth of a kitsune; the vessel for its soul, its immortality and a portion of its magic. It is a well guarded treasure that is kept on its person at all times. If someone somehow comes into possession of a kitsune's star ball (sometimes referred to as its soul stone), it can be used to bend the kitsune to their will or even be granted special favors for the return of their precious item. If a kitsune somehow loses its physical body, the orb enables them to be reborn. However, if the orb is destroyed... it will take the life of the kitsune and it will be unable to revive, as the stone is not only their very soul, but the key to their immortality.
  
  Shiori's star ball is held within a decorative silver casing that dangles from a sturdy rope necklace, enchanted and sealed so that the metal never turns brittle or breaks; unless the magical seal were to be broken, putting her star ball at risk of loss or destruction. In her human and anthro forms, Shiori will tuck the necklace into her kimono or other clothing. In her feral forms, the crystal is usually barely seen peeking from the fur around her neck.
  
  She is extremely cautious of the whereabouts of her star ball, thus, claiming it would be no easy feat. Be prepared for a hunt (or a fight!) if you're after it, because she won't let it go easily.
  
  ☯ Age: Shiori has more or less stopped counting. Age is an arbitrary number for her, especially when one has lived for so long. One thing is for certain, she's at least 500, as each tail is said to signify at least 100 years. Though she may be much more than this, as it seems (if you get to know her well enough to find out) that she originated from feudal era Japan around the year 1500.
