I glossed over it in her backstory, but here are some fun facts about Velvet's world travels: 1) She knows a lot of languages. Most current (and quite a number of extinct, like Norn and Fingallian) Eurasian languages to some level and more than two dozen to fluency, as well as several from the New World like Apache and Navajo. That's right @Xaltwind, she can talk smack to Miyuki in her mother tongue! 正しいでしょ、バカ狐?
Miyuki certainly can speak and read moon runes. I, as a player however, cannot. Just keep that in mind in case you're thinking of communicating with her IC'ly like that. :P
Owowowowow~!! It was a joke, just a joke, puddin'! Ow, let go, you'll stretch it, you'll stretch it! Mark my words, Max, you'll pay for thiiiiiiiiiiiis!

I think Max is my favorite character out of the cast , just due to that post alone. xD
@CitrusArms There were plenty of "Local gods" back in the olden days of Japan. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were subserviant to Inari no Okami. Besides, there's no need to go 10% legit historical accuracy. :P
Height: 5'3" / 160cm Eye Color: Golden Purple Hair Color: Black
Human and Demi-Human form: In either of her humanoid forms, Miyuki stands at a fairly average height (tall for back in the day). She has large expressive and sparkly eyes, smooth unblemished and fair skin, very long and silky black hair that can be a bit unuly, and - of course- a very voluptuous figure. The key differences between her humand and demi-human form is that, in the former, she lacks the many tails, fox ears atop her head and the small markings on her face. Miyuki claims its uncomfortable to stay in her purely human form for too long though, as it's - apparently - kinda like constantly "trying to suck in your stomach". When in her room or just out in the condo complex in general, she typically wears a very well-made, but daring (and revealing), black kimono.
Other: In her true fox-form, Miyuki looks like a bigger-than-average fox, with strange, symmetrical markings and patterns on her face. She also sports multiple tails, just like in her demi-human shape.
When going outside the safety of the Complex, disguised as a human, Miyuki prefers to wear clothes that accentuate her physique and appearance, like tube tops, crop tops, short shorts, mini/microskirts, etc.
Race: Kyuubi Racial Traits:
Shapeshifting: Like many of her kin, Miyuki can transform and change into different guises. Usually though, she only swaps between her true fox-form, her demi-human appearance and her full-on human form. She can do things like change the color of her eyes and hair, but rarely bothers to do so.
Canine Senses: Her sense of smell, taste and hearing are quite superior to that of your run-of-the-mill humans. For better and for worse.
Longevity: As a spirtt-being, Miyuki doesn't age or suffer the effects of time as beings of flesh and blood do. As long as she isn't the victim of a freak accident, a madman with a hatchet, starving or being exorcised, she could - technically - keep on existing indefinetely.
Magic: In addition to her transformation-powers, Miyuki also knows and wields the power of magic. Furthemore, Sse can sense and feel magic around her and from others. In this uncertain and dangerous time for monster-kind though, she rarely ever uses it, except for when she needs to let off steam or to pull tiny, harmless pranks.
Fox-fire: In her human and demi-human form, she may summon blue flames. In her fox-form, she can breathe similar flames like a tiny, furred dragon. She doesn't like using it though, especially in her fox-form, as she claims it gives her a terribly sore throat afterwards.
Cursed Tail: While her many fluffy and fine-plumed tails may be alluring, one of them is actually cursed. Touching this particular tail will cause the unfortunate offender to suffer from bad luck, equivalent in scope and duration to the amount of time and intensity with which they came into contact with said tail. Unfortunately, Miyuki herself has forgotten exactly which of her tails is the cursed one...
Requirements:
Sound-proofed Room: When you've got ears that can pick up on most every sound, loud or faint, you'll no doubt have trouble falling asleep... Especially if you're used to a rural enviroment and then suddenly come yo a metropolitan one with cars, tons of people and other constant noises... While this could normally be done with magic, trying to do so in this day and age can lead to attracting those people.
Fried Tofu: ... This is quite possibly not an actual requirement, but Miyuki insisted that it is a necessary dietary need... Especially sincee she's been proven to be able to eat most things, both fruits, meats, vegetables and grain-based products.
Grooming Tools: To make sure her pelt stays in tip-top condition and remains healthy, various assortments of brushes, combs and other similar items are needed. There's also a need for things to deal with shedding and the like... Claw-trimmers would be nice too.
Eastern Decor: In order to feel at east and at home, Miyuki's insisted that her and her partner's room need to be decorated in a far-eastern style, in regards to everything from the floor, walls and furnishings.
Personality: At first glance and on the surface, Miyuki seems to be a laid-back, calm and easy-going person. While she moves with grace and refinement, and speaks in an eloquent fashion, she isn't obtuse or uppity in her interactions. The kyuubi has a sense of humor and seems good-natured, able to jest and carry a friendly smile on her face.
... But that's where the pleasantries end. In truth, Miyuki's a lazy, selfish, petty and often-times child-like individual. She holds grudges foreverrrrrrr and is nearly impossible to earn any (sincere) forgiveness from if she feels that you've sliighted her. While she may carry herself with a smile and act as if she can laugh off any insult or back-handed comments, she's the type to never forget. Her laziness extends to pretty much everything, almost to the point of needing a full-time babysitter or attendant in order to just get her out of bed in the mornings - she likes to sleep in after all. But it isn't just getting out of bed, it's everything - from getting dressed to preparing meals to even taking care of her own hair and/or fur! Which is ironic, as she's also quite vain and proud of her physical appearance...
The fox spirit is also a glutton, and a lush, loving good food and good drink. And, as you might've expected, she's not exactly a graceful drunk. While normally physically playful and enjoying stringing people along by the nose, it gets so much worse when she's drunk. The prime target of these highly intoxicated affections unfortunately happens to be her roommate, Yumeiko, who is forced to endure these shennanigans, as well as the many other flaws Miyuki has.
That said, while she may not be (even close to) perfect, the fox does have some redeeming qualities. She's for one quite honest and doesn't care for giving out false hope or tired platitudes. She's a good listener when people want to talk or have someone to just hear them out. Finally, her selfishness often encompasses making those she likes or loves be happy, which means that those who can call themselves her friends or family will often find that she's actually quite caring, loyal and generous. Additionally, while she can enjoy pranks or causing mischief, she never does anything that'd cause any real harm or put anyone in real danger. She has some sense, after all.
... Plus Yumeiko would scold her otherwise... She doesn't like getting scolded...
Background: Born/Created(?) in Japan a fairly decent tiem ago, Miyuki has travelled the length and breadth of her homeland several times over. From having made herself a pest to tiny farming communities to swaggering about in towns and cities, she's a lady who's been, done and seen her fair share of things. Bickered over turf with both oni and tengu, posed as a local deity to pilgrims and wandering monks, ransacked chicken coupes and more, this many-tailed fox spirit has had a storied and colorful past.
At one point, while posing as a young human, sshe attracted the attention of a certain nobleman, who brought her with him back to the Imperial court. There, she received training and education in how to be a proper lady as well as a high-ranking courtesan. Things were good. Until they weren't. As she grew in popularity and fame, her true self began to shine more and more. Lazy, indulgent, spiteful... it didn't take too long to become the enemy of every other woman in the entire palace. And, after a particularly lively night of drinking and partying, she made the mistake of transforming into her demi-human form when she thought she was alone... Except she wasn't. Another courtesan had seen her, and was quick to report this news to the proper authorities.
... Needless to say, Miyuki's high-end lifestyle at the royal court came to a screeching end, as onmyouji, excoresists and holy swordsmen all came barreling down to try and apprehend and dispose of the heinous trickster fox. Forced to flee, she managed to elude her pursuers and wandered for a time, before eventually coming upon a small mountain village and a certain temple. This is where she encountered her lovely miko, Yumeiko. After retelling the events of her life and recent history - with certain bits slightly altered or omitted - she was offered sanctuary and refuge at the fox priestess' home. While Miyuki herself never too to the worship or teachings of Inari no Okami, she nontheless helped out - somewhat - with taking care of the shrine and helping Yumeiko.
Eventually though, the village disappeared, with all its residents moving away or dying off, leaving the two fox spirits to take care of a lonely shrine in what was now a gohst town. At some point, some ne'er-do-wells came and tried to claim the land for themselves, to do whatever silly things humans do when they show up. This didn't sit well with the local priestess, nor Miyuki - who had grown very fond of her caretaker fellow fox. So, glorious battle was joined! ... Or well, something like that.
In the end, be it the arrival of heroes or the modernization and industrialization of Japan, the pair was eventually forced to move and relocate... And that's pretty much Miyuki's tale, up until now.
Building, Floor, and Room: Building #1, Floor #4, Room #1-407 (corner-room). Room Description: The front door opens to a stone-floored foyer with a step up to a wooden hallway, slightly elevated over the stone floor underneath. At one end of the step, there’s a fox-sized hole. The hallways of the condo aren’t too spawling, and they’re lined with the paper walls and doors you might find in a traditional Japanese home. Tatami mats and a closet full of deployable furniture and other things particular to that space are found in most rooms. There is a courtyard and, on the far side of that, the main shrine.
In one of the off-shoot rooms, behind a sliding door, is Miyuki's room. Which, basically, consists of a standing full-body mirror, a nightstand with a traditional lantern on top, and a lavish, unnecessarily-large-for-one-person bed. Complete with silken sheets and pillows.
