Attire Description:Menzai wears the haori of the wolf guardian, white as pure snow with billowy sleeves and pants offering freedom of movement. Made up of special materials from beasts and rare plants hunted and scavenger that offer it higher resistance than normal clothing allowing it to better withstand slashes, cuts and burns and moderate protection against the usual elements. Making for a truly sturdy light garbed outfit but extremely time consuming and difficult to make and is thus only given to those made a guardian before setting forth from the village.

PersonalityMenzai is a quiet and calm individual that does not talk unless needing to or actually has something to say. Emotionally distant and stern, often keeping others at arm's length save for the very few he trusts such as his family and childhood friend, Elizabeth. As such, he speaks in the traditional formal manner while referring others to their family name to prevent closeness and familiarity. He is typically indifferent to the whelms and troubles of others, choosing to avoid getting involved unless absolutely necessary as he prefers being a neutral observer. Menzai also holds an endlessly growing curiosity to magic and customs of other races. These topics if brought up or discussed are the few times Menzai will openly talk though refrains from talking about himself. Proud as the wolf he is, he does not take well to insults to his kind or towards magic and books nor does he much care for humor with Eli as one of the only few exceptions.
He is direct and prefers to get to the point, finding casual chatter an annoyance and waste of time. Often focused on the tasks given to him; even when sleeping he does so by sleeping up in a tree where he can get better lay of the land for any possible threat. When given free time he will do so either by meditating or relaxing under the shade of a tree. Menzai typically keeps his guard up to remain alert and distant at nearly all times and views most emotions unneeded and troublesome as they only get in the way and make handling tasks difficult.

History
The village of Guarav consists of a tribe of wolf demi-humans with most being partial and a few rare halfs that have long since lived in seclusion. Nestled deep within the woods in between River port and the fairy kingdom, the people while not hostile are mistrustful of most outsiders and races. Due to this they seldom get visitors and on the rare occasion will be welcome but on constant close watch. As within the village they hold a library containing a wide myriad of books on magics as the Guaravians have an innate curious desire to study magic as the most trained of the villages would venture out to observe and seek knowledge that they deem worthy to be documented and saved for future use.
Their way of life would change upon the appearance of humans; scared, confused and lost when finding themselves in a wholly new world completely different and foreign from their own. Yet, unexpectedly found no ill will or animosity towards them unlike the other races; in fact, felt a kinship with them as if they were long lost friends and with it came a desire to watch over and protect them. A meeting that led to a close bond and friendship as those of Guarav venturing from the village slowly become more common, even becoming more open and friendly to other races as they traveled with the human companions who seemed naturally capable of using magic which might have part in such kinship.
The day of Guarav ending their seclusion may have been accomplished, but then the humans vanished; disappeared without a trace. A great and terrible lost that affected the wolf tribe especially and with it the progress made became naught as it was of belief the elves; both light and dark were at fault along with other races possibly having a hand. Thus, the Guaravs once again secluded themselves, this time closing access to the village completely and the guardian role created for the human no longer given. Blocked off from the world with a lone white sphere kept and watched over at all times to await news on the return of human, but the days passed then years then decades; whatever important news was broadcasted went ignored for none of the issues of the outside world were of any importance to them.
Life in Guarav maintained their secluded lifestyle for years. Keeping to their forest where they remain hidden; guarding the vast knowledge gained from over the years and possibly more secrets that lie within the mysterious village.
As time went on, memories of Guarav would be forgotten with countless rumors made from foolish travelers and adventures unknowingly aiding in their carefree life. That is, until the night came where hunters stumbled upon a lone, scared elven female wandering alone within the forest; somehow surviving all the dangerous beasts and monsters that stalked through the territory, but once it is learned that she was in fact the river fairy kingdom's supposed dead princess that it seemed to be some form of magical protection or merely luck.
After much discussions and debates it was decided to have her stay with them though was always intended to be temporary. Yet, Phia as she mistakenly called herself by (which none of the Guarav saw any need to correct her to better maintain her secret) proved far more sweet and loving than expected. She was not like the rest of the elves who have lost their purity and ways over the years which led further credence to Gaurav not trusting outsiders.
Now part of the village, Phia would be placed under the care of the Isanami household due to their long history of being top of the line guardians. And to Menzai's dismay found Phia under his care; a job the young wolf had no choice but to reluctantly accept. A job that while not ideal also came with the opportunity to train and practice how to protect as he took to watching over Phia more seriously as time went on. And though he was slower to accept or like the unknown fairy girl, he came to care for her eventually, but always maintain some semblance of distance to avoid getting too close, some might suggest another reason for this yet none are foolish enough to speak aloud.
The Isanami family were the keeper of the sphere who have watched over the sphere for generations and of this clan, Menzai was born to. Like most Wolven cubs, Menzai took a great interest in magic and humans, but his was almost that of an obsession. And for the first few years he became capable of reading; all his time was spent reading at the library as he found the magic and stories on the guardian's adventures alongside humans immensely fascinating. This left him becoming the quiet outcast as the others came to find him weird and foolish to hold onto any hope that humans may one day return as Guaravians have steadily lost hope in them ever coming back. His only friend, Elizabeth the one person who shared in his beliefs often joined him in reading though also worked to get Menzai to try other things as well, to be more outgoing and social. Stating it to be training for the inevitable day he takes on the role of guardian to try and get Menzai to be able to better open up emotionally; an endeavor he found unneeded for when he does so intend to accept the emotional seal. Choosing logic to focus on the tasks than friendship since emotions to him proved to nothing but trouble and often made controlling bestial ascension that much more difficult. His disconnect to his emotions and connecting has allowed him to attain ascension at a far younger age than required and has since achieved maintaining it for five minutes; a feat even full grown ascension users struggle to do.
All of this was for the sake of becoming a guardian; one that can truly protect their companion ward. Now of age with years of training, researching and enduring a certain overly excitable river fairy, Menzai was ready to become an official guardian and venture out.
The was just one question. How to do so without Phia trying to tag along?

Best AbilityBestial AscensionDue to wolf's innate pack mentality and strong desire to protect, Menzai and his tribe has learned the ability to force their body to transform from partial wolf into full humanoid beast form. To do so requires both a strong will to protect and inflicting some form of harm to bring out their predatorial instinct. This transformation causes the user to be covered in wolf fur and their body to enlarge, sometimes to twice their original size which gives a huge boost in physical attributes for as long as it is active.
The form comes with heavy risks, however, as it is extremely difficult to control and can be wildly unpredictable. It takes years simply to be able to control one's self without losing control and being overtaken by the beastly instinct and years more to hold the form for more than a few minutes. Using ascension eats up a ton of stamina and is heavily draining that can leave the user immobile for one to three days depending on how long they used the form. Going pass the time limit is highly discouraged as the chance of losing control increases dramatically or worse becoming stuck in the form which will leave the person in a constant tired and weakened state until reverting is achieved. Due to these risks, ascension is normally only done as a last measure since it is a risk to both the user and allies.
Menzai has achieved ascension with a current max time limit of 5 minutes, a feat not normally attained by one of his young age as the longest ascension recorded has been seven minutes as of the current time.
