<strong>Kotone Kuga</strong>(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=325694.msg15619515#msg15619515)<br/><br/>While not a new person to the town in any way, the presence of the sleight Tien woman wearing fine silk garb of Minkai always tended to draw a mutter or two, especially from those whose families made the long trek from Tien to settle in Sandpoint. It wasn't because of her physical looks. If anything, Kotone Kuga was the woman who looked and dressed the most traditionally like a Minkai noble in town. Selight of frame and petite, with pale skin and long black hair, her body wrapped in colorful reinforced silk. No, it was because Kotone Kuga was the daughter of the Kuga family, former servants of the Kaijitsu only to separate from them after reaching the new world, and making quite the names for themselves as wildly successful merchants and 'new nobility' operating out of Magnimar. Kotone was essentially a slap in the face to a certain uptight man in Sandpoint, which was always good for gossip . . . not that she cared overmuch about it.<br/><br/>For Kotone, the festival represented a rare opportunity to kick back and relax in a big social situation, before heading out of town to try her hand at some hunting again. She rather enjoyed learning new skills, and with that behemoth of an ornate bow on her back, Kotone had clearly decided that being the next Shalelu Andosana was her next goal. Besides, with all the hunters being in town and getting drunk today, it would make it easier to for her to poke around game trails and work on her archery. For now, the young model casually made her way to check out the various stands, her wooden sandals clicking away. Kotone might not care about rubbing her family's wealth into Lonjiku's face, but she DID care about enjoying the finer things in life, especially when it came to clothes. What was the point of being a 'noble' if you didn't indulge in a few vices after all?<br/><br/>In the end, Kotone decided to drift over to the games of chance and skill. Either she'd try her hand, or enjoy watching drunk men make fools of themselves. Truly, it was a win-win situation!
