Cunning | Sly | Mischievous | Tricky | Dangerous
Minako was born to a family of foxes living in the southernmost forest of Japan, before the soft soil turns to rock and sand at the shoreline. She was said to be the most beautiful fox the forest had ever seen, and she was prized above all others, for foxes are vain and selfish creatures.
However, even the creatures most enchanted by her beauty and grace could tell that there was something suspicious about her. Minako seemed to feel no attachment to the forest or its creatures. It was said that her heart was made of black stone, and sat heavy in her chest, absorbing love and light, giving nothing in return. All eyes turned to the mother, Erusa. At first, it was suspected that Minako had been the product of an unfaithful union, a fox and a devil. But soon, the family began to show its true colors. Erusa herself was heartless, a cruel and powerful thing. Had she always lived in this forest, or had she simply shown up one day with her kit, enthralling all other creatures and luring them into her web?
Who was Erusa, anyway?

Species: Kitsune / yokai
Abilities:
- Dance of Allure/Dance of Death – Minako is skilled in traditional Japanese dancing. For the most part, this is performed for New Year’s. However, Minako has the ability to perform specific dances, either with the effect of killing a victim or forcing one to be enchanted by her
- Beauty and charm – it is no secret that Minako is beautiful and charming. She uses these blessings for her own gain and power. She isn’t always looking to cause trouble. Sometimes she just wants attention, and to be adored.

Appearance
Minako sports pale olive skin, and clothes herself most often in robes of silk, often red, pink, white, or blue in color. She is thin-framed and delicate looking. Her fox eyes are amber, a warm honey tone that sparkle
with bronzy flecks in the sunlight. She wears her raven hair long and
free, and prefers to keep her nails sharp and painted red. She often wears makeup of blacks and reds, painting her face with a thin layer of white to accentuate her pale complexion. She smells of jasmine and hinoki wood and petrichor.
As a fox, Minako is orange and black, with one blue eye and one brown. She is slender, fast,
and surprisingly powerful in both forms. Although foxes often live in packs, Min chooses to live on her own, away from the forest in a small country house. She does not often take the form of a fox anymore, unless it is to be tricky.
Personality
As a child, Minoko learned very quickly how to get the things she wanted. Blessed with beauty, grace, and cunning, Minnie has always been one to get what she wants. She holds power close to her heart, leaving some to believe that there is more to her than meets the eye. Certainly no regular fox has the kind of power she has. She has been known to do extraordinary things to get her way – both good and bad.
Despite her somewhat sordid reputation, Minnie is mischievous and playful, loves games, and though she has few of them, loves making friends. She can’t seem to keep them around, of course, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t like them…

Minako keeps a sweet little snow fairy with a broken wing as a companion. Although it is useless in a fight and can’t fly particularly well, it is her closest and most beloved friend. She talks to it constantly, and for that reason she knows she is never truly alone.
Although Minako finds maintaining close friendships difficult, she is never one to spurn true friends. If she finds herself close to another, she is fiercely loyal to a fault and would do any number of things for the people she loves. She adores attention as much as she adores games, and the closest way to her heart are acts of service and gifts.
She’s probably lonely.
If you don’t like her, she’ll make it your problem.
Particularly good with fighting, although she’d rather not get her hands dirty if she can avoid it. She’d rather have friends than enemies.
Likes
Tea (hot or cold), reading (especially poetry), pretty things, gifts, games, art, cherry blossoms (all flowers, really), foxes (obviously), birds, forests, dango, fish, black sesame, music, sunlight, countrysides, hot baths, food (in general, though she does like Japanese food the best)
Dislikes
Coffee (unless it’s been doctored), television, technology as a whole, cities, crybabies, rain, humans, other yokai, the cold, disrespect
