Shinkasuigetsu of the Kurohinotori Nogitsune Clan
History -
Long ago, a female Nogitsune shape-shifted into a fire bird and seduced a black Phoenix. Together, they hatched what would be the first kits of the Kurohinotori Nogitsune Clan. Of this bloodline, Shinkasuigetsu was born.
Raised high in the mountains, the black fox found happy company in her family. With time, they would all go their own ways, yet Shinkasuigetsu would remain living upon her snowy mountain top. Hundreds of years went by as she occupied her family's homeland. In that time, she chose to work on her basic talents as a Nogitsune, including void, shape-shifting, and fire abilities, expanding upon them well beyond traditional standards. Being Nogitsune, she fancied the more chaotic aspects of life, but always was she happy.
In her fifth century, Shinka would meet with another kitsune by the name of Hitan. Quickly, they grew to be close companions, and the following century would pass by more quickly than Shinka would have liked. This would appear to be the highlighting century of her life, if only it has not ended in such bitterness.
A harsh winter would mark the coming of her seventh century, and upon its approach, Shinka warned Hitan to stay away from her for one night, lest her phoenix flames set him ablaze when the sun rose. Hitan agreed, and that night Shinka isolated herself in a cave. Through the night, they waited, patiently. Yet, in the blue haze of early morning, Shinka heard the cries of her closest friend and ran to him. Hitan was found, caught in a swift river. Burning both ends of the candle, Shinka struggled to draw him out from the waters before he drowned, fighting against time. Yet, just as Hitan would be pulled upon the shore, daylight would spill over the horizon in a golden sunrise, and white-hot flames would swallow Shinka and all that was near her.
The next morning, Shinka would rise from her own ashes, bearing a seventh tail. Hitan, however, was not to rise with her.
Since that time, Shinka has left her precious snow-covered mountains to wander wherever she may forget her beloved Hitan. Adapted to solitude once more, she finds comfort in silence. At times, she may seem as though her mind has wandered to far-off places, thinking on memories of the past. Her fractured heart has grown cold and hard, though, at times, she still yearns for companionship. For nearly one hundred years, she has blamed herself for Hitan's death. He, who was swallowed by her own flames. Yet, what truly hurts, is knowing that, had he not died by her fire, he would have died in the river.
Most recently, she has come to Dapplewood and found a good acquaintance in the Dark Autumn Avatar, Mengsel. He was the only kitsune she ever met there, until the final match between Mengsel and Springmoon, when the world was destroyed.
Description - Image
Most frequently, she chooses to portray herself as a regular, one-tailed fox, doused in black fur, save for her teal-painted ears. In truth, however, Shinka has seven tails and is a mere eight years away from her next tail. She also has a pair of poenix-like wings which start as black at the tips and fade into a deep red, then a flame-like orange, a shock of violet, and finally back to black. Also, a set of feathers sprout from her shoulder blades, which are a dark, somber blue and fade into a brighter shade of that same blue on the two longest feathers. Amidst her fox tails are three teal phoenix tails, fringed in a violet-indigo.
Always, her paws are wrapped in a transparent cloth, which fades from teal to the same violet-indigo of her feathers. Loosely around the cloth is wrapped a thin chain of gold, and her tail(s) are beaded with the same precious metal. Finally, her eyes appear to be no specific color. Rather, they vary depending on mood and lighting. From a distance, however, the usually appear to be a drab, dusty color, or even a dark, golden color, when light reflects off of them.
Capabilities -
Shadow - She has mastered her control over the Void element. She is able to merge with shadows, or turn into a phantom; she may even go entirely invisible, when a phantom. Also, as a shadow or phantom, she can impact characters by interacting with their shadows. In other words, if she is in non-physical form and touches another's shadow, she can make them feel the effects, as if she had physically touched them.
Fire - She has nearly mastered her control over fire, bidding it to do her will, whatever it may be. However, she cannot create fire, as of yet, unless in an EXTREME, emotional state.
Shape-shifting - The ability to change shape has been mastered. She can mimic anything perfectly. Sight, scent, smell, sound, taste, and touch. Given just little time to study her objective, she may also mimic mannerisms and aura effects (shape and 'vibe').
Phoenix Flame - Once every hundred years, she erupts in a burst of flame and burns to death. With the following sunrise, she rises once more, anew, like the phoenix. As with her ability to create fire, this may also occur during moments of particular emotional stress and tension.
Other - Currently, she is still working to master fire, but had started work on learning mental powers. She has weak telepathy.
Example -
(This was an older post to Mengsel)
Shinkasuigetsu, like the shadow she was, came quietly from the denser foliage toward the river. She found no surprise in seeing the autumn-feathered nogitsune in his favored seat. Across the rocks, she seemed to dance. Stopping at a particularlly lower one, the female dipped her head, solidifying as she moved for the currents of the water. A light tongue slipped from her maw, and she lapped carefully at the crystal liquid that passed. Her doe eyes were fixed to the river before her, yet Shinka's twisting ears would suggest the female was still alert. A final mouthful, and the nogitsune lifted her head, looking to the Avatar. There was a moment where she merely stood, observing carefully his mood before moving to take a seat next to him.
( I hope the Phoenix part is fine by you, all. I mostly just added it as a 'genetic explaination' for her wings and ability to combust. :3 )
