BACKGROUND and BEHAVIOR/PERSONALITY
Surrounded by scrolls and fingers perpetually stained by inks, Chikyu is an adopted son which seems to stir up rumors and gossip in town. None aside from his adoptive parents know he even is a kitsune. Mostly he just wants to be left alone to his arcane studies, so tends to be introverted and a loaner. He certainly doesn't feel he "belongs" despite growing up here. Curiously, as he gets older and at least respected for his craft, there are some in Willowshore who come to him for magic advice or input on sightings of the occult or superstitions. One such inquiry has lead to a prolonged, and deep friendship... (MAYBE Igawa Jubei of Mother’s Coil, Willowshore’s resident wizard and scholar of all things magical.)
He feels a magical presence in his blood, but has not determined its source. Does he come from a long line of arcane practitioners, or is there an element of fey in his blood? Perhaps something more celestial. This inspires his studies, but not being able to characterize them, he feels at odds with this part of his nature. He has a Star Orb familiar, Kukan, that he keeps near him at all times.
--------------------
DEEPER
When Chikyu is alone in the Nine Ear Shrine, he sometimes lets down his guard and takes on his true kitsune form. He does not even do this when the only other occupants of the shrine are his parents.
For Chikyu, religion is a matter of tracing his lineage and ancestry moreso than faith. He meditates on his own nature when in the shrine.
