I hope this is alright. I tried to stick as close to an Inugami's mythological lore and the like as possible.
Name: Exoris "Exo" Magnolia (例又はす 朴の木)
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Role: Bodyguard
Apartment No: 5A
Appearance:
1. Human Form:
2. Yokai Form:
Race: Inugami (犬神)
Abilities: Able to possess emotionally unstable/weak individuals. Able to bring great fortune or misfortune depending on how she is treated. Able to induce intense hunger, jealousy, and uncontrollable urges to act and behave like a dog in weak/unaware individuals. Able to inflict "ghost wounds" on an individual, creating intense pain in their chest, hands, feet, and/or shoulders. Able to possess inanimate tools to render them unusable. Able to detach head whilst in Youkai form. Enhanced sense of smell, hearing, and taste. Enhanced speed and strength. Able to consume anything without suffering from anything worse than a stomachache, despite normal (mortal) poisons or components made in the food. (I.E, food poisoning and the average date rape drug won't work on her.)
Strengths/Weaknesses: Inugami serve their masters loyally, performing tasks just like a faithful dog. They are loyal to one person or one family only, and unless seriously mistreated they remain loyal forever; these spirits can be passed down from generation to generation like an heirloom.
Inugami are very strong for what they are, able to take down other Youkai twice their size through sheer devotion to their masters when they are threatened. They never back down, and will never stop at the task they have been given unless their master has called them off.
Inugami have a terrible appetite and can easily eat through twice the amount of a normal Oni if given the chance.
Inugami do not know what it means to stop serving, and thus can suffer from heavy amounts of confusion should they be offered services that they would normally perform. This can even bring the Inugami to being stunned as a result.
Inugamis share many dog-like traits, being labeled as "dog gods". Therefore, Exoris can be quickly distracted by food of any edible variety and high-pitched noises such as dog whistles, the latter of which can render her incapable if loud enough.
Bio: Exoris is a strange case of a stranger case. She actually was not a bodyguard initially upon coming to the Primrose, like others might have been. She was an Inugami that followed a Youkai that had taken her on as his familiar instead. It was a peaceful existence that she took seriously, her freshest memories being of her doing whatever tasks she could as she learned and grew and figured out how to perform more and more abilities that her kind were renouned for.
...Well. He passed away. Unfortunately so. Messing with an aggravated Oni.
And that was what spurred her on. With no master, she had no meaning, and her literal creation -- to be a guardian towards another individual -- would render her useless with no one else. So she became a bodyguard after a time floating around -- her reason of origin gone and the need to find a new master driving her onwards.
Other: Exoris enjoys bone-shaped cookies and dog treats alike, and will eat both if offered.
Beware of leaving food around when she's present. It will disappear.
There's a poor tendency that's translated over to Exoris' human form from her Youkai form: she gains uncontrollable urges to begin barking at those that might cause her master undue worry -- and sometimes will begin acting on it. She's quite much like a dog.
