## Backstory

Born in The Free City of Legacy, the girl known as Yokai lived a peaceful life. Born to scholar parents, Yokai would be taught from a young age that the outside world was full of dangerous and self centered people, and that her home, The Free City of Legacy was a beacon of self reliance and community. Yokai loved her city, valuing its close community. At the age of 18, Yokai would be playing in the streets with her younger siblings and her friends, when her entire life would be turned on its head. The statue of the founder of The Free City of Legacy, known as The Ronin, collapsed, blocking the only entrance and exit to the harbor. A terrible earthquake begun to shake the city, and the buildings begun to collapse. From her vantage point above the harbor, Yokai could see a tiny vessel, no larger than a row boat, sail into the harbor, aboard, a single cloaked figure clad in black. She was only able to catch a glimpse, fleeing for a safer location due to the collapsing buildings . Yokai would look over her shoulder to see the small vessel empty, and before she could spot where the individual aboard had gone, she turned to continue running. Turning toward the city center, she realized where the figure had gone, he was directly in front of her, about 100 paces. She stood in terror unable to move. Due to this, the fleeing civilians bumped into her, knocking her down a well. This however, would turn out to be a mercy, as a large flash and loud noise would render her unable to hear or see what came next, the mass slaughter of her people. For what felt like hours, she screamed for help, severe burns covered her body, her legs were broken due to the fall, and she could barley see or hear a thing. Yokai, however, refused to die down in that well, and despite two broken legs, used her arms and tails to slowly climb out. The scene that welcomed her, however, would break any will she had remaining. The once marvelous city of magic had been leveled, and the only proof of their existence was the rubble of the city she called home. Yokai would collapse to the ground, crying. As she cried, she could barley make out the sound of footsteps behind her. She turned, hoping to see another survivor, but instead was greeted by a cold wind. A man with hair as white as snow, dressed in a black coat, with white fur lining and a diadem atop his head. He knelt down next to the girl, raising his hand near her wounds, and sealing them, leaving only the scars. She also felt the pain in her legs subside as well. "Your injuries have been healed, however, I am unable to fix your scaring and any other damage you may have received," he spoke, seemingly calming her. He explained that he was their to investigate what had happened, learn what item or magic were used, and who was responsible. Yokai would give him all the information she knew, but it proved to not be of much help. The man would ask Yokai a question before he left, what would she do now? Yokai had not considered it until now, it was too painful for her. The man would nod, and say "Do as you wish, your life is your own, the path you walk now is yours to decide, not anyone else to decide for you," and with that the man would vanish in a snowy blizzard, once again leaving Yokai alone. Now, invigorated to live her life to bring the same pain that was brought upon her people to the cloaked one, Yokai would train herself, waiting for the day where she can exact vengeance.
