Kyoko

"A sound soul dwells within a sound mind and a sound body".
== History ==
Kyoko was born and raised with a family of twelve, it was a difficult job particularly for a traveling merchant. Akito and Kyuu a pair of scarily impressive merchants who let no deal go on haggled and no stocks left upon the caravan. Although their life often left them on the road or within the small merchants caravan with her ten brothers and sisters, Kyoko was always granted a certain liberty as the oldest daughters. That liberty granted her in the future the ability to roam the cityscapes that they ventured to and the ability to acquire knowledge on more grandiose scales then she ever could had their family been settled in one of many small villages they had encountered along their travels. Kyoko's older brother by a matter of minutes thanks to her families seemingly abundant fertility was Dai a leader by authoritarian dictatorship due to his cutthroat training that his father had instilled into him. Kyoko's mother on the other hand had always accentuated to Kyoko to use her more physical attributes of seduction, a trait that was left unkindled as her best was never good enough and soon discarded by her mother in all attempts.
By the time she had started to actually understand her mother's curriculum was the time that she realized how much she hated the family business. After being thrown to the wolves in many senses, Kyoko discovered far more knowledge about both the working of capitalisms as well as that of human nature. The gritting teeth of society and the underbelly where her family fleeced stolen used good or refurbished replicas was nothing short of disgusting her eyes. The ideals that the family trade were all built upon the back of deception and lies where she had seen logic seemingly fade away from. She barely had time to be a child before maturing to a point that her parents hadn't even achieved in their years of experience.
This inquisitive nature, always seeking hard facts as well as talents to further herself was one that her parents later would demand use of and abuse as family so often did.
===The Sound Mind===
Through knowledge of this world, Kyoko found more and more heartbreaking truths behind every door she knocked on. By the age of nine, Kyoko had read a plethora of textbooks, tales, medical journals, and legal documents. Although money was scarce, she often managed to push her way into libraries along side strangers acting like one of their children's hiding her true heritage or even being charitably donated such documentation that she so readily craved. Many found this thirst for knowledge and her rather naivety adorable, and simply the hopeful mind of an aspiring child who thought she had what it takes to become a true genius.
This brain of Kyoko's was one that was unfathomable to her family, but her brother knew that one that could remember so much and could learn was useful for blackmailing. A skill that she wanted to use for good and saving the world from the bad, ended up making her prey for some of the worst people in society, family. Years of prying and ratting out secret after secret went by with no one finding out the source of such a devious plot, until one day where her brother decided to hunt a way larger fish in the sea. Baron Viego was a man of great power and he also knew the use of knowledge so sniffing out a few furry tailed foxes wasn't any trouble.
The punishment however for such a family was something that none of them were prepared for, as it turns out when you are trying to stiff the wrong person he is liable to make your legs stiff for years to come. That was if he was feeling generous. For Kyoko's oldest brother, he found out what it was like to work for such people like their life depended on it while she learned how to serve him in two different fashions.
She was treated like a child would be, taken in and given the education that a hungry mind deserved something she never suspected within that harbor town where they were caught. Compensation for their two eldest the parents eagerly left them with extra weight in their wallets.
=== The Sound Body ===
After being taken in by Baron Viego, Kyoko was granted access to one of the largest libraries she had ever seen, and what she presumed to have been in the entire world. An exaggeration that would quickly be corrected though as she read through the vast sums of knowledge learning that this was in fact a fraction of the books that one could simply find within a personal library. Higher expectations were placed upon Kyoko then that of her brother, he knew that the two had the means of snookering many respectable nobles, but the extent of each of the skills was still a development to capitalize on.
Two sides of the same coin offered to both siblings, to one that devious mind that knew how much the brother hungered for power and money a greed that was insatiable. The sister however, an innocent soul one to be manipulated not with simply a stick but the carrot. A skill that her brother soon also learned, that being said even the most intelligent people catch on when they are being manipulated and Kyoko new from the start that if she played it out right she could eventually rise to a station above that which she had only dreamt of.
== Appearance ==
Human Form
This kitsune tends to maintain a more human appearance as to conceal her true nature, as experience serves from encounters with some siblings. Strange individuals tend to gravitate to large bushy tails, which she herself does brush daily as well as long pointed ears usually matted and combed down into the hair that matches it's coloring when exhibiting her true kitsune nature. That fur of her tail and hair have a lavender hue to them, almost glossy from the use of products to maintain their hygiene a trait that is sometimes overlooked by certain kitsune who attempt to simply mask such odors and grime with simple prestidigitation spells. The art of a bath was one that also was read from the many books about masses that she had read in the past.
Fox Form
Outside of her human form, Kyoko tends to only shift into that of a small grey fox one black painted tail. Her form resembles that of the Urocyon Cinereoargenteus, or Grey fox. They like most foxes have long bushy tails with a long black splotch down the top and orangey red fur matching that of the underside of the grey fox. They for all purposes have small slender frames like any old fox with the strange almost grey coat of almost lavender fur.
== Personality ==
 
Kyoko's personality was, like all children, a product of their upbringing. Within Kyoko's family house there was little time for her parents to deal with one child let alone every single one leaving her often alone to fend for herself within your typical village education and family structure. Unbridled by emotions Kyoko often spent her time locked away within the city library reading. This lack of social interaction left many to believe that Kyoko was schizophrenic for the longest time. Where other's grew heated by their uncapped emotions, Kyoko tended to stay reserved actually acting as one of the most level headed minds in their families as well as the financial advisor to her father when it came to investing and maintaining a certain level of livelihood. 
To say that Kyoko is a generally calm person would be untrue, although she filters her thoughts unlike most individuals before spouting off she has more physical tells then you can shake a stick at. As panic ensues, much like one day at a brother's coming of age party, Kyoko was left on a literal podium to discuss about her own experiences with them. A feat that while performed, was one that was the talk of the family for what would likely be generations as she spouted out memories like some sort of construct.

The only purpose of life is to acquire all skills and knowledge in the shortest period of time possible till one has gained the ability to maintain an eternal life. She dreams of legends that say their is a fountain that would grant such knowledge, the only purpose she wishes to do so is in hopes of finding and destroying it so no one could belittle the hard work that she and others put into their trade.
== Relations ==
Kyoko has nine other brothers and sisters, that for all intents and purposes for herself are dead. Kyoko remains her first and only name for that exact purposes, she doesn't want to be associated with the schemers and tricksters of her old life to come back and haunt her in her day to day work.
