[Kossage]

For Outworlders...
NAME: Haruko Mizushima
ORIGIN: Kingdom of Barjassil in an unnamed world. It is a fairly similar world to the current one she's ended up in, but magic is a common and established thing in her home world.
RACE: Kitsune (a magical, shapeshifting and intelligent fox).
GENDER: Female
AGE: 18 as she appears in her human form; 40 in kitsune years
JOB/ROLE: Mix of a Rogue (basically a thief with magical abilities which are low-key) and a Bard. Basically leans more on being a rogue but knows songs from her world.

SKILLS/POWERS/ABILITIES: As a kitsune she can potentially shapeshift between two forms: her native kitsune form (a fox with many tails; she has two due to being young and not too powerful), and a humanoid form (basically indistinsguishable from a human except for her strikingly golden eyes, and the form she currently prefers to use to blend into society).
She has a keen sense of smell, capable of tracking one target at a time (although she can be fooled like you'd fool bloodhounds with herrings etc.). She presently possesses minor magical abilities which mainly help her with thievery, although she has trouble accessing them in this world where her goddess's influence doesn't seem to reach, which makes her struggle from time to time when her magic fails her.

WEAPON(S): A pair of elaborately carved daggers which she's moderately proficient with so she can hold her own in battle but is nowhere near master level. She also has a blowpipe with which she can shoot poison darts which will put the target asleep after a minute or so; however, the ammo for the latter is limited, and the sleep effect takes time to kick in, so she's conserving them only for situations where there's no other way out alive).

APPEARANCE:


A pretty young Asian-looking woman with pale skin, curious golden eyes, and raven-black hair tied in two buns. She's clad in a dark purple dress with some runic symbols, and the cloth is loose enough to let her move in an agile manner if necessary.
In her kitsune form, she looks like an otherwise ordinary red fox except with two tails.

PERSONALITY: Curious, charming, occasionally mischievous. Ruthless when she needs to be and if she feels she's threatened, although she prefers to manipulate people to get what she wants instead of resorting to force or her magic. Despite this seemingly confident exterior she's also confused and scared, lost in a place which is foreign to her and where she believes anyone can be a potential enemy, so she might just as well exploit them first before they exploit her.

BACKGROUND: Haruko was raised by a local kitsune elder in forest which worshipped the Goddess of the Earth. For reasons she can't remember at the moment, she left the safety of her grove, took human shape and became a rogue in the human kingdom of Barjassil until she somehow ended up stuck inside a strange magical crystal before blacking out. The next thing she remembers is waking up in an unfamiliar location, and she doesn't remember much of her past except glimpses here and there which come and go irregularly.
She's aware of her true nature as a kitsune and vaguely recalls that showing her true form might lead to trouble (as people tend to fear what they don't understand). So, she has decided to stay in her human form for now while trying to figure out where she has ended up in and what role the strange crystal from her dream-like past plays in all of this...if any.

I'll think of a native human later. Right now just wanted to get this profile written down.
