Kitsune Mizuru

Kitsune Mizuru was an earth shugenja and scout of the Mantis Clan. Mizuru was in fact a kitsune spirit, a secret which he hid as deeply as possible.
== The Real Mizuru ==
The human child that would have been Mizuru died in his infancy of a fever that had devastated many families that season. The anguish of the child's mother was so powerful that it attracted the attention of a kitsune spirit. The kitsune took the child's place, making the mother believe the death had merely been a terrible dream. Masters of Magic, pp. 67-68
== Youth ==
Mizuru grew to be a shugenja of note among the Fox Clan, and gained a reputation for being a strong scholar. He was seen more as a father figure than a master to those under him. He eventually was appointed as the central authority of Kitsune Mori Mura. 
== Troubled Forest ==
The troubles in Kitsune Mori in 1169, that led to the absorption of the Fox into the Mantis Clan, greatly worried Mizuru. He was close to returning to his kitsune form at the height of the troubles, but the aid of the Mantis appeared to quiten things. He was concerned that there was a dark threat still lurking in the depths of the forest. 
== Destroyer War ==
In the month of the Monkey of 1172 Imperial Histories 2, p. 252 Mizuru was outside Ryoko Owari Toshi during the Destroyer War, where Agasha Gifu, an Arikura-no-Baba, requested his aid. She was attempting to tame the bestial spirit of the gigantic creature known as the God Beast of Kali-Ma. While she was suppressing the beast, the Master of Void Isawa Kimi communed with the Void to reach the god within it. Mizuru used the power of Chikushudo to support Gifu's efforts. Kimi was able to undone the creature, which staggered, fell, and died. Wrath of the God-Beast, Part 2, by Shawn Carman
