Prasi Marin's page

Born on the shores to two Varisian nomadic merchants, Prasi was always a free spirited girl. They were both kitsune, but barely if ever would leave their human forms: they were already quite aged, and her birth was that of a surprise since they never had any children before. She didn't really have a great relationship with her parents, but loved the life on the road - and even to her teens, she sticked around with them, and helped the sales by performing to the potential clients.

When passing through Oppara, before even coming of age, she caught the eyes of the Kitharodian Academy - and the Lion Blades. It didn't take long to join their ranks, as a performer, and her talents grew through the years: both artistically, but also as a traveling spy. Yet, the Lion Blades never truly trusted the chaotic nomadic girl with their secrets, as they knew she'd always be too much of a loose cannon.

Still travelling the world performing in name of the Kith - but, yet, a die hard fan of adventure, adrenaline, freedom, gold and romance, Prasi ended up in the Shackles for the regatta, joining different ships for brief periods of time - and collecting her fair share of friends and enemies, coins and confusions. How much can the Kitharodian Academy truly trust her? So far, she had been loyal and useful. But so far, their interests seemed to align...

Prasi is beautiful and mysterious in any of her shapes: as a Kitsune, Human, or Fox. She uses the three shapes freely, and while usually preferring the Human one (that of a young woman of Varisian Ethnicity, with long black hair and captivating green eyes), when in peril she will almost immediately resort to her other forms. She doesn't really keep her shapeshifting a mystery from her companions.

Prasi is the pure definition of freedom. She worships Besmara and loves the sea life, despite not being a talented sailor or swimmer: it's more about the loot, the adventure, the traveling, the romance. She's smart, unchained and unattached, yet loyal to her companions and her secret Kith missions.
