Backstory: Jin has spent most of his life in a hidden forest located in Japan. It's a haven for fox spirits, and many spend the rest of their lives there. Untouched by humans, Jin was a rather naive and pure spirit. Although he had heard many stories of pipe-foxes like him being kept shut in bamboo pipes and the like, he was always curious of the outside world.
His curiosity drove her to leave home but he never gathered up the courage to directly interact with a human. Instead, he stayed hidden in the mountains and played pranks on travelers. During this time, he met many creatures and developed a keen sense of detecting energy. Unfortunately, his little vacation was cut short when he found herself caged, just like the stories she was told in her child-hood.
Luckily, he managed to free himself with a bit of dumb-luck and set out to head back home. Humans were dangerous things and Jin preferred to live without fear. However, a strange human approached him offering admission to an academy that was safe and provided an education. Eager for an adventure and tempted to find a suitable master, he accepted the invitation from Montagne Academy.
