History
Akahi was born to an isolated and highly traditional clan of Kitsune. Her blood red fur and intense demeanor unsettled the village shamans, and her birth was heralded as a dangerous omen. The village ostracized her as a result, and eventually she was cast out and abandoned to the wilderness, with the hope that she would die and in dying, take the evil they thought she heralded to the grave. Instead, she was rescued by a monk of the scaled fist, whom she joined as a disciple. Learning strong convictions and dedicating her soul to a code of honor, Akahi eventually set out to find her fortune in the great city.
Akahi utilizes her shapeshifting abilities to evade enemies outside of combat, often presenting each form as a separate individual- 'intense girl who will murder you', 'holy crap some kind of fox monster' and 'oh my god it's adorable' respectively, although a keen opponent will likely discern her true nature. She remains primarily in human form, although her features there are more animalistic than most
Personality
Akahi is headstrong and intense, and while she follows a personal moral code and respects order, she can also be brutal and remorseless against those she decides are deserving of such. The practitioners of the monastic style she follows emulate the dragons, and often serve as roaming arbiters, ending disputes with dialogue, combat- and in some cases killing as necessary. If Akahi decides that someone is deserving of death, to her the outcome is already forgone. Getting her to that point however, is remarkably difficult. In her own words "Death is the ultimate escape. How will they learn from their punishment if I let them run away from it?"
Typically, she is very direct, and often quite terrifying for a young girl. Her eyes and colouration can be quite unsettling, and her kitsune form seems more predatory than most. She takes great joy in enacting justice, and believes strongly in social protections
Combat Style
Akahi has been trained as a Monk of the Scaled Fist and taken the first steps towards mastering Dragon Style. As such, she prefers unarmed attacks over those made with monk weapons, although has accrued a number of such weapons to use as needed. As a highly mobile combatant, Akahi uses her unsettling demeanor and predatory appearance to enhance her ability to demoralize enemies.
