Henshin no Mae

This page, *Henshin no Mae*, is a work in progress.

### Secret Heart's Desire

Yeah, the problem with that question is that what I want keeps changing. For now, I'm just living in the moment and not worrying about the future.

### My "Magic" Touch

Thanks to Mom, I can shapeshift! I can become anything as long as it's alive. I used it for a pretty elaborate prank on EAH...albeit one that almost killed everyone's friendships, but the past is the past!

### Storybook Romance Status

Fun fact: I'm aroace. Relationships aren't my thing, y'know?

### Oh "Curses!" Moment

I'm a terrible liar. I mean, I can BECOME you, but I can't become *you.*

### Favourite Subject

Mischief 101! Talk about one heck of a class.

### Least Favourite Subject

Mythology. Bor-*ing,* bor-*ing,* bor-*ing*...

### Best Friends Forever After

Shiromi Yuki and Lucius Shadow. We're all totally different, but we get along anyway!

**Henshin no Mae** is a 2019-introduced and all-around character. They are the child of Tamamo-no-Mae from Japanese Mythology. In the destiny conflict, they are with the Rebels, as they both don't want to die and hate rules with a burning passion.

## Character

### Personality

Henshin no Mae is...

How exactly *does* one describe them?

Well, we'll try anyway. Henshin is cheerful and clever, and always has some sort of mischief planned. They are optimistic, always seeing the glass as half-full, and a massive prankster, who pulls all sorts of practical jokes on the other students. They hate rules with a burning passion, and will do anything to ensure they've broken every rule.

Other than that, everything about Henshin—from what food they like to the songs they listen to—is in constant flux. Henshin is generally hard to pin down as a person, because they're almost always changing. They grow bored easily, even with themselves.

Henshin happens to have ADHD, and is a hyperactive, easily-distracted person. They tap their fingers on their desk, play with their clothes, even pat other students on the head—they are always moving, no matter what. They're unbelievably impatient, hating long wait times almost as much as they hate rules, and have a tendency to interrupt others while they're talking. *(under construction)*

### Appearance

Henshin's appearance is also difficult to describe, since they are a shapeshifter whose true form is still a mystery. The form they take for EAH is that of a pale person with soft features, feathery amber hair cut short enough to resemble a boy's, and violet eyes. They are slender and use no makeup, and stand at 4'7.

### Interests and Hobbies

Like everything else about Henshin, their interests and hobbies are in constant change, and they quickly grow bored with activities. But after coming to EAH, they have found one thing that they have grown to like long after it wore out its novelty.

#### Music

Henshin quickly fell in love with the electric guitar. They would play it all day on Saturday and Sunday, and all night on...every night, actually. Most expected them to drop it after some time, but Henshin never fell out of love with it, and plays it as much as possible. Shame, then, that their skill with it is...lacking, to say the least.

### Powers & Abilities

As the child of Tamamo-no-Mae, Henshin inherited her ability to turn into a nine-tailed fox. However, their powers go beyond that.

* **Immortality:** Well...I mean...duh.
* **Shapeshifting:** Henshin's shapeshifting is incredibly advanced. Not only can they turn into a nine-tailed fox (similar to Huli Shang) but they can transform into any living creature. They mostly use this ability to mess with people, though.

### Skillset

* **Multilingualism:** Due to the fact that Henshin has done a *lot* of traveling, they've learned all sorts of languages. Granted, they've forgotten most of them, but they're still handy to have when you're out traveling.
* **Mischief making:** Henshin might just be the epitome of mischief. They love pulling pranks, telling jokes, and just in general being an annoyance to everyone around them. They're pretty good at it, too—they managed to run a long, successful con game and trick the Mythology Program into turning on each other.

## Myth - *Tamamo-no-Mae*

### How does Henshin Fit into It?

Henshin was born shortly before their mother was slain, and spent their life wandering the forests of Japan. They eventually found themselves a home in a rural Japanese village, but quickly grew to hate it due to the strict rules they had to follow. After learning the language, Henshin decided to use their shapeshifting powers to mess with people. They went a bit too far, though, and caused the village to tear itself apart from civil war. Henshin fled amongst the chaos and wandered the world for many years, having a whole lot of fun along the way.

One day, Henshin was in the village of Book End when they overheard about the Mythology Program. They decided to pull a prank similar to the village on the students, infiltrating the school and shapeshifting into the various students, causing drama and destroyed friendships as they went. Unfortunately for Henshin and fortunately for everyone else, they were eventually caught. However, when Headmaster Grimm learned they were the child of Tamamo-no-Mae, he allowed them a spot in the school.

### Viewpoint on Destiny

Henshin doesn't exactly want their destiny. Not only will they die at the end, but it also severely limits what they'll be able to do with their life. They don't particularly care for everyone else, though.

## Relationships

### Family

Henshin's relationship with their mother is nonexistent. She's a bit too busy being dead.

### Friends

#### Shiromi Yuki

Henshin quickly formed a bond with their roommate—not just because they were roommates, but because they were both late-joiners to the Mythology Program. Henshin likes Shiromi for her devil-may-care nature, and Shiromi is one of the few people who finds Henshin's pranks funny.

#### Lucius Shadow

Strangely enough, Henshin and Lucius get along rather well, in spite of their opposite personalities. Much like Shiromi, Henshin felt a kinship with Lucius thanks to the late-joiner thing, and Lucius reciprocated (albeit begrudgingly). Surprisingly enough, Henshin is actually able to make the stone-cold Lucius laugh, which many take as a sign of their close friendship.

### Acquaintances

#### Huli Shang

Since both Henshin and Huli are fox spirits—Henshin a Japanese one and Huli a Chinese one—people expected them to be best friends. However, Henshin considers Huli a rather boring person, and only really interacts with her if they have mischief in mind. Or are just sick of Huli angsting.

## Outfits

Henshin wears a flowy light orange crop top, with long sleeves that hide their hands and bare their shoulders. They wear white shorts that go down to their knees, and are completely barefoot aside from an orange ribbon that wraps around their left foot and leg.
Unlike most other Mythos, Henshin does not accessorize, they just put a butterfly barrette in their hair and call it a day. Their overall aesthetic makes it hard to tell from a glance whether they're male or female, which is the look Henshin is going for.

## Trivia

* Their birthday is on March 24th, making them a Aries.
* Due to their shapeshifter nature, Henshin doesn't necessarily have a true gender. They identify as non-binary and use they/them pronouns.
* They are aroace, but even if they weren't, they wouldn't start a relationship anyway—they know enough to know they'd likely ditch it once the novelty wore off.
* They mainly dress in shades of orange.
* They had long, almost waist length hair, but decided it was too much of a hassle and shapeshifted it away.
* Despite being Japanese, they were nothing close to their culture.
* Their name is Japanese for "transform".
* Unlike Huli, Henshin barely looks like a fox spirit. While their true form likely has ears similar to hers, they don't have them in their EAH form.
* They are ambidexterous, though they prefer their left hand.
* Henshin is one of three characters to not have a Final Fate outfit.
	+ The other two are Shiromi Yuki and Lucius Shadow.
