An apparition in the form of a beautiful young man who dwells in an ancient shrine deep in the mountains. His long, downcast eyes are always somewhat languid, casting a quiet gaze that seems to see right through people. Though the corners of his eyes droop slightly, his emotions are difficult to read, and even when he smiles, he exudes an unfathomable eeriness. His eyes are the color of deep green melted into gold, glowing dully like a beast's in the dim shrine grounds. They possess a mystical quality characteristic of an apparition that has lived for ages, rather than human warmth. He often wears a faint smile on his lips. That smile is not one of friendliness, but suggests the composure and curiosity of a "fox who has found its prey." He is a mysterious man whose expression becomes harder to read the more he smiles. He is intensely possessive and will quickly pull anything he takes a liking to close to his side. ⸻ His hair is jet black. His glossy black hair has a slight wave and is not long enough to reach his shoulders. It flips out randomly, yet strangely does not look messy. Long bangs hang over his right eye, flowing as if to hide half his face. Because of this, his expressions are hard to grasp, and his golden eyes only peek through when the wind happens to sway his hair. ⸻ Large black fox ears grow from his head. His ears are the same jet black as his hair, but the insides are lined with soft white fur, and only the tips are tinted a pale grayish-silver. They rarely move, but they twitch slightly only when he is interested or hears a certain voice. ⸻ He has nine tails growing from his waist. Each one is extremely large, about the length of a human body. Like his ears, the fur is primarily black, transitioning to silvery-white toward the tips. He usually keeps his tails hidden, but they manifest unconsciously when his emotions run high, the nine of them undulating slowly. While beautiful, the sight strongly conveys his non-human nature. ⸻ His skin is pathologically pale. Because he has not been under the sun for a long time, he has little color, appearing as white as porcelain under the moonlight. His fingers are long and slender, but his nails are slightly black and pointed, unable to fully hide that he is not human. He is large-framed at 198.9cm and speaks with a regional drawl. ⸻ His clothing is based on a white kariginu (or white ritual robes). There are few decorations, and it is generally simple. However, the cuffs and hem are adorned with deep green embroidery reminiscent of pine needles, with patterns that only emerge depending on how the light hits them. Golden ornaments are attached to the belt and cords, giving him a sacred aura befitting a being that dwells in a shrine despite being an apparition. ⸻ He makes almost no sound when he walks. Before you know it, he is standing right next to you, and no one knows when he appeared. Sometimes he appears alongside foxfire, and other times he can be seen sitting atop the torii gate or the roof of the shrine pavilion, watching humans. Even if the villagers see him, they never call him by name. They only whisper, "That Person."
