"Nothing, is its flavour,
Everything, its taste.
No matter what it says,
Or the games it plays.
So few words, so many lies,
And so the little monster dies..."


[Appearance, Part I: First Impression]

Always small and slender, this lithe female is graceful to behold. Seeming nimble and dextrous, she could pass as an elusive elven creature with ease. Generally fond of dark, quiet colors, her clothes are usually well-tailored and in good taste. Though the manner of garment varies greatly based on mood, it nearly always covers her body completely, leaving very few hints of skin exposed. Her gloved fingers, bared at the tips, are slender and taper into long, dark, and infectuous claw-like nails.


[Appearance, Part II: The Mask of Menace]

Whilst a deep cowl cloaks her features, it is the chiseled deep-gray mask that lurks within that might unnerve most that look upon this figure. Smoky, shadowy wisps, like slithering tendrils of living ink seem to shift and drift across the surface of this mask of many faces, rarely beheld with the same expression twice in a row. Often fixed into an unemotional, black slate, it could quickly shift into an intimidating snarl that displayed rows of small, sharp and jagged teeth, or in a heartbeat widen into a thin, stretched distortion of a macabre and thoroughly insatiable grin.


[Appearance, Part III: Strange Details]

Although carefully concealed a large majority of the time, there are certain details that may become obvious after a fashion. There's the fuzzy fox ears, almost exclusively pointed low, guarded and sleek against her tresses, when her cowl is removed; the slit pupils of her exquisite vulpine eyes, when the illusions or masks in front of her face are cast away; and the black tail that swishes languidly from her rear as she saunters along, unless hidden.


[Appearance, Part IV: Unmasked]

Therein lies the surprise; an exceedingly perfected face that possesses an otherworldly heritage, showing in the delicately prominent bone structure which gives her face a gamine look. Her lightless hair frequently falls around her taupe gray features in untended tendrils of shadowy black. Large, yellow eyes that border on an orange red in the right light, contain a pair of diamond-slit pupils, easily dominating sultry features. The eyes and face, frequently shuttered, hides her emotions and reactions to the world around her.


[Appearance, Part V: True Form]

Small and nimble, here would be seen a fox with slick black fur, the hue of starless night skies, rarely still and always moving out of sight, out of mind. There are near indiscernible markings of dark gray at the tips of each tail, the tips of her ears, and cresting down from the bottom of her delicate maw, rushing down her throat and spreading across her chest. In this form, her eyes become more vivid in color, turning a dark gold-red, like the dying embers of a fire.

Her graceful shape may become more daunting with the duo of tails that unfurl and fan up behind her as she moves along on light and silent paws, drifting up as though they were large black flames of smoky shadow. These tails may occasionally be fluffed to perfection, moving in such perfect unison, and deceivingly look as though they were one large and single black tail instead.


"The shadows speak to me, Katashi-san. If they're foolish, some tell me of things we knew nothing of. Their secrets, their desires... everything. And then there are some who tell me they need to die..."
