Shalelu 4

Kiko was born in Magnimar to Eda Qun, a Kitsune from a line that had existed in Magnimar since a few years after the city's founding. She grew up without a father, her mother claiming he had fled the city before she knew she was pregnant. While this wasn't exactly the truth it was close. Her father actually simply returned home to Sandpoint, where he had another family, the day after Kiko was conceived.
Without a father Kiko was raised by her mother and grandmother. Her mother was a kitsune, like Kiko, but her grandmother was a human woman. Her grandfather who was a kitsune had passed on several years before her birth. While her mother was more focused on running the family business, selling imports from the Dragon Empires, with her sister it was grandmother who taught Kiko about her heritage, both of the Tien community in Magnimar and as a kitsune. It also was her grandmother that brought her in with the mystery cultists of Magnimar. As a little girl she already fell in love with the stories about Ashava.

It was through these contacts with the mystery cultists, who occasionally worked together with the various temples of the good gods, that Kiko first met Ameiko, though she did not know they were half sisters at that time. Kiko, then 12 years of age, was helping with the maintenance at Cynosure Tower, the temple of Desna. Here she met Ameiko, who had ran away from home in Sandpoint and was staying at the family's manor in Magnimar. She was wandering the city and decided to take a break at the Desnan temple. The two girls, who were almost the same age, struck up a conversation about living in Magnimar and the horribleness of (grand)parents and how neither of them would ever be anything like their parents. The two of them met several more times with Kiko once coming to Kaijitsu manor and being dumbfounded by the place. Their budding friendship was abruptly put on hold when Ameiko received the news that her mother had passed away and she rushed home to be with her family.

For several years Kiko's life continued as normal. She helped her mother and aunt out in the shop and occasionally the warehouse and she studied with her grandmother who taught her both history and proper etiquette. It also was her grandmother that helped Kiko make sense of the dreams she started to have in which she danced, naked and in her natural form, under the full moon, just like Ashava. The dreams started to get stranger when a giant fox suddenly joined her in her dances and she started catches glimpses of this same fox during the day while walking through the city. At first she told herself that it must have been a large dog but the red fur was unmistakable. As such it wasn't a tremendous surprise when the beast confronted Kiko on her way home at dusk and she wasn't scared either. She carefully approached the fox, who backed away as she did, snarling. Then, making sure none could see her, she dropped her human appearance and instead approached the animal in her natural, fox-like form. This time the reaction was different and the large canine eagerly approached her.

The ecstatic mood over finally meeting the moon fox from her dreams and actually befriending it quickly vanished when she got home. Her grandmother had passed away a few hours earlier as time had finally gotten the better of her. She cried for hours on end, refusing to be consoled by the rest of her family. Eventually she cried herself to sleep.

That night she once more dreamt her dream of the moon and once more she was accompanied by the fox, as she expected, but there was another presence as well. As she danced her grandmother seemed to descend from the moon before landing next to Kiko. She knew it was her grandmother but the woman next to her didn't look like the elderly woman she knew. Instead she looked like her grandmother must have looked when she was Kiko's age. The woman kissed Kiko's forehead and petted the fox before she dissolved into a fine mist. Once she was gone Kiko shook awake, finding herself reverted to her natural state, like in the dream, and still feeling the kiss on her forehead. What was more, she suddenly seemed to have grown a second tail, something that usually only occurred in kitsune elders.

She did not show what had happened until after her grandmother's funeral but when she did her mother and her aunt were both shocked. While both knew what it was neither had any idea about the how or why. They both insisted though that the tail, combined with the dreams the meeting with the moon fox, must be indicative of something greater and her being part of some cosmic scheme. What it was they didn't not know. What Kiko did know was that while the dreams continued and the fox kept showing up there she hadn't seen it out in the world again.

It was a few months after this, days after Kiko's 16th birthday, that she met Ameiko again. She had ran away from home again and intended to strike out on her own this time. She came to Magnimar to pick up some things and figured she'd say hi. Their meeting was very short and left both with more questions than answers.

In the year after Kiko paid a visit to Sandpoint in the hope of finding her friend but instead found Ameiko's family. While she did recognise something in Ameiko's father Lonjiku she mostly saw a bitter man and quickly returned to Magnimar.

Seeing Lonjiku triggered something in Kiko. For the first time she started asking her mother questions about who her father actually was. The answers she got were evasive and vague: He was a Tian man, human, they had only been together for a few days and he turned out to be an unreliable bastard. She refused to tell more or give a name.

It was years later that Kiko finally found out. Kiko was 19 and her mother had met an Andorran merchant who she had fallen in love with. She was to open up a new branch of the family business in Almas while Kiko's aunt would manage the stores in Magnimar. Her mother left Kiko the choice on whether or not she wanted to move to Almas with her mother but she refused. Saddened by the goodbye and feeling this might be the last chance she'd get, Kiko's mother sat her daughter down and finally told her everything. That her father was a man called Lonjiku Kaijitsu from Sandpoint, that he had other children there as well and that he refused to even speak with her when she told him she was pregnant. Kiko had already zoned out the moment she heard her father's name. She knew who he was and she knew at least one of his other children. She had a sister!

As a last thing before she left Kiko asked her mother to accompany her to Sandpoint to meet her father for she figured she needed her mother to prove it. When they arrived however they quickly discovered that Lonjiku had since passed away and that Sandpoint had been under attack the year before. Of the family she so longed to have only Ameiko remained. Initially Ameiko was rather reluctant to believe it all but the details of Kiko's mother's stories were undeniable, nor was the likeness between Kiko, Lonjiku and Ameiko herself. Childhood friends turned out to be sisters.

In the years after Kiko remained in Magnimar. Her mother had left for Almas and would occasionally send letters. Apparently her new lover still desired children of his own and despite the odds a new baby was on it's way. Kiko herself continued her studies and worked to figure out her own place in the world. She still helped her aunt and her two cousins, both in their teens now. She also made a point of visiting her new found sister at least once a month. She'd stay over in the Rusty Dragon and would help out where she could. Only recently has she shown Ameiko that she is, in fact, a kitsune.

Kiko is a curious, inquisitive young woman with an eagerness to learn. Yet her enthusiasm is curbed by prudence and manners as taught by her grandmother. She tries to carry herself with dignity but sometimes finds it stifling.

She is kind and eager to help others while at the same time reluctant to do so as she's afraid to mess things up.

Very careful around new people as most would not understand her dual nature as a kitsune and would most likely condemn her as some sort of animal or even assume she's a dangerous monster.

Most of the time Kiko appears in her human form. In this form she has pale, almost white skin and black hair. She is quite tall, standing at 5'6", but also very slim to the point where her grandma always insisted she should eat more. Despite listening to her grandmother her appearance did not change and while she eats like a man twice her size she stays thin.

Kiko usually wears simply but functional clothes of a combination of fabrics. She has a studded leather armor but tends to only wear it if she knows there is danger ahead.

In her natural form most of her posture stays the same. Her black hair fades away to tufts on her vulpine ears. The coat of fur that covers her body is a pale red that fades to white at her fingers, toes and nose. Her most remarkable feature are her three long, elegant tails. She is somewhat insecure about them though.
