Yuranosuke sometimes seems to the townsfolk of Willowshore to be more like a ghost than a living person; a tall, pale aiuvarin dressed in muted greens and whites, long black hair tied to keep it from his face, watching others from just out of sight.
A child of the Silvermist Lodges, Yuranosuke spends much of his time hunting with his cousin, Sumika, or gathering herbs in the Specterwood as a favor to You So-Jin. The few other times he is easily spotted by others is when he tends to Willowshore's two shrines to the moon gods: one to the human god Tsukiyo, the other to the elven god Ketephys. The hawk soaring above and the hare running below.
Because he's a shy and quiet man, it's rare to see Yuranosuke mingling with crowds of people, even among his own kin. But he rejects the idea of going off into the Specterwood entirely and becoming some sort of hermit. Just as his ancestors helped Willowshore take root when it was first planted, he seeks to honor them by following in their footsteps. He knows Tsukiyo smiles on those who offer aid and comfort without judgment, and he knows the best way to learn what people need is, much like hunting a beast, to watch and to listen.
It surprised everyone when he volunteered (somewhat bashfully) to join in the Reenactment festivities this year. Preferring tea to alcohol, he believes he can make sure no one gets lost or hurt out in the forest, which he's noticed has been unnervingly quiet in recent days...
