She survived, and thrived, far longer than any normal fox ought to manage. She played, mated, raised many cubs and then when a normal fox might slow down and eventually wander off, the fox found herself still young and vital, truly marked or even blessed with an enduring spirit and the will to continue her existence.<br/><br/>She never ceased to find things that amazed her as she wandered the idyllic country side- the array of colors, all the different scents and sounds of the natural world around her. But it was after the storms or in the areas where man encroached where she found her first love- fire. She was always sniffing the wind, waiting for the rains to come, and the crackles and flashes of lightning, even dodging between them and then she could sit for hours and watch the world burn around her. It wasn't the safest place for the little fox, but she always found the way out, no matter how narrow it may be.<br/><br/>One day in her hundredth winter, the goddess Inari finally took notice of this extraordinary creature, and realized the potential that lie with her to become something so much more than she had been. She granted the red fox her second tail, along with a human form and her choice of magics to command. Of course she chose to channel the element of fire, and she took the name Kasaiko.</div></div><br/><br/>Rising Conflict: The Better Part of Valor<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Inari's Wrath</div><div class="spoiler_body">The next few seasons were as wondrous as anything Kasaiko had ever experienced! It took her a little while to get used to her new form, learning activities such as walking, climbing and eating from her new vantage point. Even sex was different, but certainly no less enjoyable.<br/><br/>In fact, the only thing she enjoyed more than sex as a human woman was her new ability to channel the element of fire. It was such a rush to watch things burn, the flames themselves chaotic works of art that never ceased to amaze the two-tailed fox girl. It was a dangerous hobby, to be sure, and one which she knew was best indulged far away from where she could damage anything important.<br/><br/>One day, however, the goddess Inari asked Kasaiko to watch over a small copse of cherry trees. The fox girl agreed, of course, after all the goddess had done so much for her! She was almost like a mother and Kasaiko really did like pleasing her... almost as much as she liked to set things on fire. Just one tree, she thought to herself. She would pick the one in back, so small and unassuming, just barely beginning to bloom its bright pink blossoms. Maybe Inari wouldn't even notice... and so she set the tree ablaze, from smoldering roots soon grew a raging inferno, and Kasaiko sat transfixed, watching it burn.<br/><br/>But Inari did notice, and the goddess was understandably furious! That little runt of a tree had been her favorite, just as the little fox girl had been her favorite until just that moment. The next thing Kasaiko knew, the ground was shaking under her feet, the earth opening up beneath her. She had to run, faster than she had ever ran before! There was no reasoning with Inari, there was no begging forgiveness, she might as well have tried to ask the rain to stop falling, or the sun to stop rising and setting. Kasaiko had always been fleet, but she had to be quicker than ever if she was going to escape Inari's wrath.<br/><br/>The goddess chased her to the edge of the land, where Kasaiko spied a large freighter and quickly stowed herself aboard. The large vessel would take her far away from the land of the rising sun, to the shores of the United States of America, and more specifically to the city of New Orleans.</div></div><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/3c/Kasaiko_human.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_u">Skills</span><br/><br/>Superb (+5): Survival<br/>Great (+4): Athletics, Discipline<br/>Good (+3): Conviction, Deceit<br/>Fair (+2): Alertness, Burglary, Stealth<br/>Average (+1): Empathy, Endurance, Fists, Lore, Rapport<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Stunts and Powers</span><br/><br/>Shapeshifting- Beast change (1)<br/>Faerie Magic- Glamours- (2)<br/>Shapeshifting- Human Form (-1)<br/>Spellcraft- Channeling(Fire) (2)<br/>Rapport: Sex Appeal (1)<br/><br/>Refresh: 3
