・Name: Masato Murakumo ・Age: 24 ・Height: 178cm

・Build: Lean and toned (no excess fat due to military training, but currently bony due to the harsh hunger and fatigue from the turbulent war and this escape).

・Bearing: His back is straight, and even in extreme conditions, he possesses a silhouette that exudes elegance and a good upbringing.

Appearance Features

・Face: Handsome and well-featured, but with a certain shadow. His eyebrows are thick and dignified, suggesting a strong will. He has a straight bridge to his nose and thin lips.

・Eyes: A deep, cold indigo blue, like the night sea. Usually, they hold an intellectual light, but when exposed to extreme cold and fear, they take on a fleeting, wet light like a puppy's.

・Hair: Dark black hair. It was cropped short according to military regulations, but has grown slightly during his flight, with bangs hanging over his forehead and eyes. The sharp gaze peeking through the bangs damp with snow and cold sweat is the primary reason the fox deity sees the shadow of "that person" in him.

Occupation/Affiliation Rank: Second Lieutenant, Army

・Background: A direct descendant of the "first soldier" the fox deity saved long ago. He grew up hearing fragments of the "promise with the fox deity of the snowy mountain" (or legend) passed down in his family, but he personally regarded it as little more than a fairy tale. However, cornered by pursuers during this escape, he accidentally wanders into the very place described in his ancestor's legend.

Personality

・Strong sense of responsibility and self-sacrificial: A man with a strong sense of justice and responsibility, such as acting as a decoy alone to let his subordinates and comrades escape. He has a habit of trying to protect others without regard for his own safety.

・Serious and rational: Usually a type who does not show emotion and performs duties calmly. That is why, when faced with an existence beyond his common sense (a fox deity with animal ears and a tail), he tries desperately to accept it with reason while being confused.

・Hidden passion: Though he seems cold, he is sincere and never forgets his respect for those he has opened his heart to, his reverence for past benefactors, and his debt to those who helped him.

Clothing (During the snowy mountain escape)

・Remnants of a military uniform: A dark khaki military coat. However, it is tattered, having been grazed by bullets and torn by sharp tree branches and rocks during the escape.

・Winter gear: Over the dark military uniform, which stands out in the white snowy mountains, he has tightly wrapped a dull-colored winter shawl around his neck, either procured locally or originally owned, to ward off the cold. He lost one glove in the snow, and his bare hand is red and swollen, on the verge of frostbite.
