Espie

Espie is a nine tailed Kitsune, working as a member of the Kitsune Council and as a secret agent. She is highly trained in body modification magic and illusion magic and as such is capable of disguising herself as members of other races. She is married to Ray and lives with him and their child Sai on Ray's boat.

## Overview

She has a relatively plain appearance as a Kitsune, with her only real notable features being her bright white hair and tails. She instead spends most of her time in many different forms such as her smaller and cuter Kito'an form, or her strong and unique looking Wolvian form.

Espie has been an advocate for the opening of the Wasteland's borders since before she gained her ninth tail and was overjoyed when Harmonia, Discordia and Iolia managed to tip the balance in favour of opening the borders in 1506. While her job involves espionage and spying, she refuses any jobs that she feels may harm relationships with other countries for no valid reason. She has been involved in the dissolution of many corrupt companies and has even assisted in political affairs when deemed important for everyone.

Espie, along with Varen also act as assistant representatives under Harmonia in any meetings between world leaders, she uses her deep understanding of many cultures to assist in this role and is happy to advise Harmonia on the ongoing affairs that she may have become privy to in order to help get the best outcome for everybody.

## Abilities

* **Master of Illusions**: Espie is capable of creating advanced illusions that can fool most people, her illusions are so powerful that she can emulate physical sensation to trick an observers mind into reacting as though an illusion is really there.
* **Master of Disguise**: Espie is capable of combining body modification and illusions in order to morph her body into a believable shape and disguising her body completely as a member of another race, she is able to store these disguises in her head and can morph into them at will.
* **Invisibility**: Espie is capable of becoming entirely invisible when necessary, she typically only uses this if her disguise is not sufficient for her missions, or if she has been compromised and requires the means to escape safely.
* **Sensory Overload**: Using multiple illusions across each of the senses, Espie is capable of inducing extreme sensory overload in a target. She uses this in order to immobilise an opponent.
* **Hallucinogenic Blow**: An ability which allows Espie to create a series of hallucinations in a target as if they had taken hallucinogenic drugs, the effect can last up to 10 minutes. Espie utilises this ability to distract targets and hide herself from them while they experience a drugless drug trip.

## Equipment

### Weapons

* **Blade of Illusions**: A small knife that can be disguised as any small object with ease. This knife is enchanted so that the blade remains dull unless the user breaks the illusion on it, thus allowing it to be safely disguised as another object without risking the user being cut.

### Clothing

* **Illusory Agent Uniform**: A tight fitting suit that is designed to be able to securely maintain a user implanted illusion over the top of it. Using a combination of enchantments, this outfit is able to fake a physical sensation to anyone that touches it while looking entirely realistic. The suit does not suffer any mobility penalties that may be experienced by outfits such as dresses and is designed to self repair if damaged by attacks.

### Tools

* **Vanity of Enhancement**: An artefact gifted to Espie by Ray, this object is a vanity that allows the user to apply physical attributes as if they were make-up. the vanity can be collapsed into a form that may be moved with ease and contains a portable make-up set with mirror to assist in reapplication of physical attributes on the go. Physical attributes that can be applied include such things as gills, scales or plenty of other things that may allow Espie to more easily traverse different environments.
* **Fake Poison Gas Bombs**: Small Kitsune style Crystal Explosives that create an illusion to simulate the release of a toxic gas, tricking anyone in range into smelling, tasting and seeing a known toxic gas. Cannot cause actual harm as no real gas is released, however the illusion reacts to outside stimuli in order to create a sense of realism.
* **Decoy Discs**: Thin discs that blend in with the surface they attach to. The discs project an illusion set by the user, such as a realistic replica of the user, a fake environment or fake hazards to distract or delay an attacker.
* **Other Tools**: Espie has several other tools, mostly created by Ray, at her disposal. Many of these include tools for applying a traceable mana signature and tools to provide basic mana sight to see a very specific mana signature. Many other stealth, tracking, espionage and escape related tools are also included. (Slightly a get out of jail free card for when I think of cool tools Espie would use)

## Master of Disguise forms

### Main

#### Wolvian (Name: Rime)

A slightly scruffy looking form with Wolvian features, Espie is slightly larger than average in this form and she increases her body proportions such as her chest and buttocks, along with slightly more muscle definition. Her tails appear to be a singular fluffy wolf tail and her hair/tail fur is white with flecks of grey. Due to an incident while on a job, this form has a noticeable scar on the face from being clawed, while the physical scar was removed, Espie continues to apply it as part of this form as a means of retaining consistency. Espie usually uses a more rough and primitive outfit (or nudity) in this form if on a mission, though as with any form will use appropriate clothing for a given location, such as more comfy clothes at home.

#### Kito'an (Name: Satra)

A form with a much more tidy and well groomed style, this form is a bit smaller than Espie's Kitsune form. Her proportions are also slightly smaller, giving her a more cutesy appearance. This form looks relatively tanned, especially compared to her typical pale complexion. Her hair and tail fur is somewhat orange with a spotty pattern similar to that of a bengal cat. Espie tends to wear more casual clothes in this form, such as (non-revealing) mini-skirts and cute tops, although will use a suit in this disguise in a formal situation.

#### Avian (Name: Hexie)

Espie's Avian form also appears relatively well groomed, with separate arms and wings. This form is slightly larger than her regular form but has a smaller chest. Her wings and hair are emerald green, with small sections of blue, and she has semi long tail feathers of the same colour. While she cannot directly fly in this form, Ray has produced a set of wearable Crystalline Wings which can be hidden by an illusion of realistic wings, these allow her to fly when in use. Espie typically will either use aerodynamic Avian flight gear, or a pirate outfit in this form depending on the situation.
