**Mitoki Shitodo** is a shapeshifting awnshegh known for causing havoc and seriously plaguing the likes of Nanasuji Shitodo and Tsubaki Kawasemi. Though she may come off as vacant and animal-like, on the inside, she is continuously fighting a mental battle, of which she is losing.

## Personality

The original Mitoki, whom the name still belongs to, is an individual trapped in a mnemonic loop inside her own head. She is in a perpetual state of partial awareness; a permanent vegetative state, as it may be diagnosed. She performs some actions autonomously, but generally does not think, and has little capacity for higher function.

For reasons unknown, Mitoki is driven by a curse that compels her to kill fellow humans. This curse progresses like an infection, although it grants her incredible power. This power ultimately supplants her mind and body, enabling her to be a fearsome opponent even though she is practically unconscious. It is not known why she possesses this curse, being a blooded scion with a Great bloodline of Azrai's derivation, and it is not known if she had it since birth or if it was somehow obtained, although bloodline powers tend to manifest as one passes through puberty, and Mitoki's primary traumatic incident happened during adolesence, so it is certainly not out of the question that she simply manifested it from her blood.

Though Mitoki is rather hollow on the outside, and may die without the ability to care for herself, she is compelled to act by her alters. In her mindscape, she interacts with two alters who act as the main bearers of her persistent mental load, and in essence allow her to function semi-normally without being overwhelmed by damages to her mind. Although she only consistently interacts with two alters, who have taken the forms of her imaginary friends from before the incident, Mitoki's fragmented battlefield mind is the refuge for a thousand splinters of herself, all differing in a few characteristics. Some are autonomous enough to take control over the body, while others embody a mere thought, and act more as persistent nagging reminders.

Mitoki seems to be obsessed with keeping her right eye bandaged over, wrapping it extensively and re-wrapping it whenever the bandages fall off. She sometimes bashes her own head in to bloody the bandages, before being stopped by her protectors.

It is important to note that Mitoki's condition (which was never formally diagnosed) is not the cause or even remotely related to her curse. She is a monster because she is exploited by the taint of evil. Neither her nor any of her alters are aware of the destruction they have caused. They simply act to survive. Mitoki is chaotic evil not due to any dedication for chaos or evil, but because she kills and maims mindlessly, and her operative routines are contingent upon a degree of innate chaos. In a way, it would not be right to hold her accountable for her actions, for she does not know she is committing evil at all. However, she is the bearer of her curse, and in a way, is her own curse. Her favored weapon is her natural attacks; she extensively brutalizes people with slams, claws, bites and gores.

### Fenghuang Xiangzi/Phoenix

> Do I look like a romanticist to you? What the hell's a "gorgeous death", huh?
>
> Fenghuang Xiangzi

Fenghuang Xiangzi (鳳凰湘子) is the name of one of Mitoki's alters. While inhabiting the body, his eyes are orange, and he generally dresses masculinely, tying Mitoki's three braids into one very large "drill" of hair. In the mindscape, he wears a leather jacket and a cape that resembles a phoenix wing, and his single braid is shorter and less voluminous, being a rattail instead.

He is a bitter and abrasive individual, frequently results-oriented and sometimes neglecting of his own body to fulfill his own unknown goals. Although he possesses memories of the incident, he does not feel anything of those times, although he looks upon the times before those days with a bitter nostalgia. When acting as a mastermind, he displays a theatrical side, gloating upon his enemies before striking them down with a massive ego and a bullet to the head. His favored weapon is the handgun, and he prefers high-caliber guns such as the .50 AE Desert Eagle.

### Fujiwara no Chalkydri/Chalk

> Fujiwara no Chalkydri

Fujiwara no Chalkydri (藤原のチャルキドリ(Chalkydri)) is the name of the second of Mitoki's primary alters. While inhabiting the body, her eyes are cyan. In the mindscape, she dresses with an "office secretary" aesthetic, with a leather skirt, a button-up blouse and high heels. She has a lion's tail, and her hair is long and separated into five long braids, with a bun on top.

She is caring and vaguely motherly, but can and is often sassy and assertive, befitting the narrative she represents. When offended, she quickly assumes a murderous disposition, quickly making death threats while wearing a sarcastic smile. As she generally only interacts with other people to defend Mitoki, this is her usual personality to other people. Like Xiangzi, she has memories of the incident, but no particular feelings, other than contempt towards the perpetrator, and pity for the victim. When Mitoki retreats into her mindscape, Chalkydri is often provoked into taking control, making her the second "phase" to a full cycle with Mitoki. Other times, she kills to feed the body, or takes time after Mitoki's kills to eat. She possesses the most survival skill out of any of the alters. Her favored weapon is knives, daggers and other sharp implements, from swords to shards of glass.

## History

Most of Mitoki's history is not known, neither to herself, nor to anyone who currently lives. The alters possess no memory beyond their initial point of origin, after things went south in her life, although she is known to have once had two imaginary friends named Chalk and Phoenix. "The incident" refers to the days immediately leading up to the breaking point where she shattered into a thousand pieces in one body. The true nature of the incident is mostly unknown, but the most likely cause is physical, mental, and/or sexual abuse, or perhaps a tragic fall. All of them can distinctly remember Xiangzi's voice though. At the time, he blamed it on someone, someone close to her. In her kitchen during the afternoon, the little girl pulled out a knife, and waited until it all went away.

Whatever twisted things lead her to become a monster, for almost all of her life, nothing has changed. Rather than coping in any way with her problems, she let them consume her until there was nothing left of her, leaving her in the state she is now. Perhaps she was shunned by society for how she acted, and lashed out as a result, getting her second kill, and from then on, her alters began to indulge in her behavior. She likely turned to cannibalism out of starvation, with nobody to take care of her but a measly other self who doesn't even have a physical body most of the time. Mitoki was, and is, completely alone.

Her first meeting with Suji and Tsubaki took place in the Dark Forest, her dwelling of choice outside of her run down apartment, a locale that is most likely abandoned. She watched them from the shadows, before taking the form of Suji and attempting to lead Tsubaki off of the beaten path. She was successful in tricking them to follow her, but when she revealed her true nature, she was quickly defeated by the duo who possess as much magical power as Mitoki's psionic/blood power. From then on, she would consistently show up every once in a while, trying roughly the same tricks with a little variance each time. Her muteness lead to them being interested in discovering her mystery, which is roughly where they are now, although they have had little success, as their magical abilities are incapable of reading the disjunct mind and broken memories in her little head (and indeed, really nothing can.)

## Relationships

### Mitoki Shitodo

Mitoki has no personal relationships with anyone outside of her circle, although she is strangely drawn to a few people, such as Tsubaki Kawasemi, Usomi Sakimori, and Ellie Mark. Fujiwara no Chalkydri treats her like a little kid, as though she were 9 again, although she cannot appreciate it nor feel anything about it. Fenghuang Xiangzi wants to set a decent example for her, lead her to be better, but his efforts thus far have been in vain. She is very much like PM01 in her apathy towards everyone, although strictly speaking, she is an enemy of most people.

### Fujiwara no Chalkydri

Few people are aware of Chalkydri, and most see Mitoki's "tagging out" behavior as some form of extreme psychosis rather than a discrete personality phenomenon. Xiangzi often resents her wildly, uncontrollably murderous tendencies and extreme focus on aesthetics, fashion and style over raw effort, but appreciates her as a "friend", someone who's in the thick of it with him.

### Fenghuang Xiangzi

Like Chalkydri, his existence is not particularly known among those who have encountered Mitoki. Chalkydri often chafes against his attitude and rigid mindset, seeing as he does not allow any "fun", but she almost kind of enjoys their petty squabbles, and their fights are never really more than playful arguments. He's a fun friend.

## Abilities

Mitoki is a fearsome shapeshifter, whose powers strike fear into the hearts of anything. Although her physical abilities are that of an ordinary, if malnourished teenage girl, and her mental abilities are even lower in stratum due to her shattered mind, she remains a fierce force both in terms of manifesting and in terms of physical attacks; she channels the power of her Great bloodline of Azrai to manifest, strike at foes and enhance her vitality. These are powers she has as an awnshegh, deriving strictly from her curse, though they weave into her class abilities quite nicely. Mitoki's alters think of her shapeshifting to be a form of "wild shape", as employed by druids, although instead of turning into plants and elementals, she gained the ability to transform into animals, humanoids and aberrations. She can change her shape and her physiology separately, and has no limit to what she can change shape into, although it has to be something she has seen before. On the other hand, she can only gain the physiology and thus the powers and traits of animals, humanoids and aberrations. Additionally, she can distort her form in grotesque ways, and does so frequently to instill fear in others. Her "attack mode" consists of a disguise she's taken that she has then distorted and merged with elements of her true form, allowing her power to shine through in the grossest way possible. Elements of her shapeshifting that she leaves untouched turn into eldritch body horror, with burn marks, necrotic tissue, extra organs such as teeth and eyes, slimy tentacles and other stuff. Also notably, she cannot shapeshift a right eye, as the injury is too "meaningful" to her— like Choko's burn marks, they do not heal in spite of her regenerative powers that allow her to recover from any injury, another awnshegh power of hers. One of her favorite ways to make herself look menacing is to distort light around her, covering her in menacing shadow.

Her hands are charged with the power of her shattered mind, dealing a small amount of vile damage, damage that is so painful and traumatic that it can only be healed through extensive restorative psionics or healing in a place of overwhelmingly positive spiritual energy, such as the radius of a *hallow* spell. She can empower the entirety of the wound from a single claw attack three times per day, turning the whole wound into vile damage. One of her blood powers as an awnshegh is to deal a contact poison that slowly erodes the victim's fortitude, ultimately withering their body, although the effect is usually pretty minor with the proper treatment.

Her mind is shattered to the point of being impassable, and thus, without connecting to her through her subconscious as with the case of subpsionics, or possessing the superior enchantment ability of shadow weave magic, she is immune to all attempts to do such a thing. Coincidentally, she happens to use both power sources. Interfacing with her mind *at all*, regardless of if it succeeds or if she resists it, damages the sanity of whoever created the effect, although the backlash is greater if she succeeds in resisting, and she can charge power to deal more damage in this way.

Her alters are "supported" by the shadow magic that suffuses her subconscious, allowing them to store a psionic focus known as her shadow focus. She has subpsionic powers that utilize Clairsentience, Telepathy and Psychoportation exclusively, enabling her feats common to those disciplines, such as mild prediction of the future, mind tricks and teleportation. When she teleports, she briefly jumps through the tides of shadow, and can arrive with a furious combo attack each time she does it. Her telepathic abilities are entirely offensive in nature, and she cannot interface with other minds in a peaceful fashion.

### Reproducing knowledge and altering reality

Mitoki has the power to manipulate patterns and perception, creating illusions by warping what people perceive. She does this primarily through her Cryptic powers and "insights", which have been augmented by her blood abilities. She can channel the disruption of a "pattern", the essence of a creature, into her melee hits, which unravels a creature bit by bit until nothing remains, as well as imparting debilitating status effects, as she can manipulate her disruptions into effects such as blood loss and entanglement. Her insights can damage a person's mind via their touching upon her battlefield mind, the brief contact considered by almost all to be incredibly unsettling. Strangely, her powers do little against insects, constructs and undead. It is likely that in the case of insects and unintelligent undead, as well as most constructs, they cannot even begin to *process* the damage she's witnessed, and so cannot feel the effects for themselves. With intelligent constructs, they likely parse the experience logically, and so the emotional effect is minimal. Intelligent undead are probably about as traumatized as her, and her acts likely just remind them of their initial descent into undeath. Although this power sounds complicated, she uses it mostly instinctually, and even her alters have no trouble with it.

Mitoki can manipulate fears directly, and her aura strips away all immunities to psionic fear effects within 10 feet (3 meters), seemingly imparting the unlucky ones with her own fears that she can then use against them. These fears are channeled through her hand, either in the form of her claws, slams and strikes, or as a touch. The psionic energy alone deals significant amounts of damage, but like her pattern disruption ability, she can impart a cruel trick that manipulates the target's fear, leaving them drained of energy or leaving a constant reminder of her in their head.

Mitoki has some seemingly self-developed version of the Veiled Moon techniques favored by Tsubaki. It is possible she learned them through observing them, gained access to them through her memory altering abilities, and then developed them for herself with her own powers, although that implies either a massive series of coincidental actions, or some logical capacity on her part, which Mitoki mostly lacks. She jumps through shadow, fooling others by displacing herself in the darkness, appearing out of nowhere and striking, and then disappearing once again. She can combine her Veiled Moon teleports with shadowpounces, racking up horrible injuries and debilitating debuffs from her psychic powers. She also takes advantage of her enemies' fear with her martial abilities, akin to a Black Seraph user.

Her shattered mind, devoid of any thought, naturally draws in shadow magic, likely due to her status as an awnshegh. As a result, she has access to a minor amount of mystery-casting ability. These strange, seemingly alien magical powers are almost entirely illusory in the effects they create, and they resemble a raw manipulation of shadowstuff more than anything else. They are innate powers, much like a sorcerer's, not studied and learned like the techniques that Suji uses. Because she is so empty inside, she is immune to many negative effects, particularly that which ails the soul, or which inflicts illness upon her body. Although she does not strictly need to eat to live, she does it out of a psychological hunger. Mitoki's emptiness sucks the color and life and light out of everything around her, slowly ebbing away the lifeforce of her opponents, as well as their morale, and making the shadows darker and easier to hide in. This incredibly subtle effect leads her to be at a distinct advantage in her fights.

## Trivia

* The majority of Mitoki's aesthetic is based on Suzumi Kuzu, including her ability, and her face, and her alters.
	+ Unintentionally, her being annoying to specifically Suji and Tsubaki (who could be seen as the equivalents to Tsubakura and Yabusame in this world, being a priest and a magician (yes, thats more like touhou, no, its not really intentional, neither is them being tsuba and yabu)) is also a weird callback to Suzumi.
	+ Her alters' quotes are lines directly taken from Suzumi Kuzu in Len'en 4. Xiangzi quotes the clone Arde who act as the secret Extra + α boss, and Chalkydri quotes Cine Hamal talking to Tsubakura in the Neutral route stage 6.
* She is also based a lot on various "Faker" OCs from the FNF community, such as EXE (although it's arguable if that guy counts as FNF) and Faker Sky.
	+ She is slightly unique in that she has an ordinary true form that is completely different to any of her disguises, and she uses multiple disguises rather than sticking to one form.
* TO DO: Re-add her vampire friend group who live in the forest with her. Suzuran and the shadow druid sangrolu thing are part of this group.
* Mitoki is kind of like the human version of a corrupted gem.
* I love to overhype and "high-ball" Mitoki's destructive prowess. I'm of the opinion she could solo practically any of my characters except for the main trio, their ancestors, the quori nobles, and other top-tiers. Notably though, she has a hard time dealing with Tamarie, who can dish out about as much damage, leading to messy confrontations. She can fool Ellie Mark, but cannot win against her due to Ellie's Overwrite ability and some other things.
* Mitoki cannot speak but can understand English, Japanese and Russian. She can understand and speak, in a heavily broken way, Aklo.
* Although she is mostly incapable of speech, she can growl, roar, purr and even meow. Suji wants to pet her.
* Mitoki shares Suji's last name, as well as their fringe (poofs out the front, thus giving a curve to the silhouette). Although it could be assumed she is a distant relative who shares the Shitodo name through a chain of coincidental adoption of the Shitodo name through marriage, in truth, her surname is Shitodo simply because she comes from an era from before Suji's time, and didn't exist during Suji's creation, thus leading to this discrepancy when she was re-added.
