**Chloé Michaelis** is a ***Kasai***, or **Fire Kitsune,** and the sister of Louis Michaelis, and daughter of Maria Michaelis. Her kitsune spirit was passed onto her from her paternal grandmother, where the spirit laid dormant after the World Wars, before waking up inside of Chloé when she turned 23. She kept the secret of her powers for a number of years, before being confronted by hunters, and ended up fighting against them, and taking them down before she was confronted by the Hale Pack and found out that her brother's secret friends with benefits relationship with a girl in his college, was a member of the pack.

Chloé is a member of the **Michaelis Family** and an ally of the **Hale Pack.** She is the younger sister of **Louis Michealis,** and an event coordinator for one of the wine vineyards in the Burgundy region, where she grew up.

## History

Born in 1999, Chloé grew up with her big brother Louis, and her mother, Maria in the Burgundy winemaking region, a town called Beaune, where she and Louis loved to run around in and explore when they were kids, and well into their teen years, they would go with their mother to wine tasting events in the town, and at the wine tasting rooms on the vineyard property. Her father left shortly after she was born, and the only picture she has of him, was when he held her once in the hospital, and has no memory of him, viewing Louis as more of a father figure as they grew up.

Chloé was a bit of a troublemaker as a kid, all the way up to adulthood, when her kitsune spirit activated, and she got into trouble in different ways, mostly by playing pranks on Louis and her mother, who got the lighter side of these, while sometimes, Louis would be sent something foul smelling in the mail. She eventually stopped with the hardcore pranks and trouble when she got her fifth tail and gained a lot more power, before eventually fighting off the hunters and meeting the Hale Pack.

## Personality

As a child, Chloé was always happy and mischievous, always wanting to play with her older brother, Louis as they would run in the wine vineyards as kids and get away with absolutely anything that they did, even if it was dangerous and if they ruined something on the property. She was still a troublemaker as she grew older, with fragments of her kitsune spirit breaching the surface of her when she did things that would appease the spirit, especially getting into trouble, doing bad things, and stealing for herself or Louis.

After her spirit awakened inside of her, Chloé's troublemaking got worse, as she trained herself with her spirit in order to gain her tails. When she got her fifth tail it seemed like the spirit had become done with the troublemaking, and had decided to focus on gaining power and mastery over her fire and foxfire. She is also extremely protective over her mother, while her brother is protective over her.

When mostly influenced by the kitsune inside of her, Chloé is ruthless and benevolent as she channels the inner part of her that is the kitsune, and is a formidable fighter against her assailants with her hands, or whatever weapons she could get her hands on in order to use her fire as a part of it. Sometimes, the kitsune takes over her better senses when she wants to show her power to whoever she is fighting, and will allow her aura to be shown, and uses it to fight.

## Physical Appearance

Chloé has soft brown hair that she keeps at and above her shoulders, and a bright pair of brown eyes that almost glow caramel, and a small dimple in her cheek when she smiles. Her eyes are framed by thick eyelashes, and are slightly hooded. She prefers to keep her hair in low ponytails, or tight buns at the back of her head, or puts it down with a diagonal or middle part. Since she works in a professional and public setting, Chloé has to always be professional and have a good face on, so she has good makeup skills.

Her wardrobe generally consists of smart pieces in bright, mixed with neutral tones, such as light or dark blouses, paired with dark or light pants and coats, vests, sweatshirts, or jackets, and boots, sneakers, or sandals. Her skin is also slightly tanned on her arms, while it is more pale on her face and the rest of her body, due to wearing hats outside, and leaving her arms bare, and after her kitsune appeared, she got a number of tattoos to represent the fox with fire around it, but it never shows, since it is on her neck.

## Powers and Abilities

### Common Powers

These are abilities that have been demonstrated on the series that all Kitsune appear to possess, including Chloé, that she shares with all others.

* **Super Strength**: Kitsune possess superhuman strength, though the strength of most Kitsune is still inferior to that of average werecreatures unless they are especially old and/or powerful. Chloé has been shown to demonstrate immense amounts of strength when working, especially when lifting, and even though it doesn't shown through her skin, she is very muscular, but the fox spirit keeps the vividness of strength down to appease the male eye, in order to help it hide in plain sight.
* **Super Speed**: Kitsune are extremely fast creatures; even young Kitsune run so fast that they're almost a blur, as Chloé demonstrated when she fought hunters, and was able to maneuver her way around them so well that they ended up turning on each other.
* **Super Agility/Reflexes**: Kitsune are very agile beings who can jump very high and very far, as well as perform extraordinary gymnastic and acrobatic feats without any training. This also helps Kitsune in battle, because they are able to easily dodge, flip, and spin away from incoming attacks.
* **Accelerated Healing**: Kitsune possess an enhanced regenerative healing ability that gives them immunity from any human illness or condition. It also allows them to heal from minor to moderate wounds in moments, and even severe injuries, such as being stabbed in the heart, can be fully healed within hours. It is likely that their perfect immune systems and accelerated healing ability means that they cannot become intoxicated by alcohol or recreational drugs due to their bodies repairing the damage that causes the intoxication effects too quickly, just like Werewolves, Werecoyotes, and other shapeshifters with enhanced healing abilities.
* **Longevity**: Kitsune are very long-lived creatures who can potentially live for many centuries as a result of their advanced healing powers, which keeps them from dying due to most natural causes and slows their aging down tremendously. As a Kitsune advances in age, they will also grow in general power as well, making the eldest the most powerful in the species.
* **Intuitive Combat and Weaponry Skills**: Kitsune possess an innate ability to fight in close-quarters combat, especially with melee weapons. Chloé has demonstrated this when she picked up a machete to spar with one of the werewolves.
	+ **Foxfire Production**: Kitsune possess the ability to create fire or lightning, known as *foxfire* or *kitsune-bi*, by rubbing their tails together. The foxfire can then be produced from within the body, though Kira, the only Kitsune shown to use large amounts of foxfire so far in the series, prefers to channel her lightning-esque foxfire through her hands. It has been implied that the form of foxfire produced by a Kitsune varies based on the specific type of Kitsune they are; Chloé's foxfire appears as a bright orange fire, the same as a real fire.
		- **Immunity to Electricity**: Because they can create foxfire, Kitsune are immune to the effects of electricity.
* **Aura Manipulation**: All Kitsune have flaming fox auras around them, and, with age and experience, they can learn to both conceal the auras from supernatural eyes or make them visible to even human eyes. Chloé's spirit is over 600 years old, so it, and by default, Chloé have complete control over their auras.
* **ShapeShifting**: Kitsune are often referred to as "shapeshifters" due to their trickster nature, and at one hundred years of age, a Kitsune gains the ability to assume a human form. However, the full range of how this ability works remains unknown; they may be able to take the form of other humans, the form of a true fox, or the shape of other animals, or it may just be an ability specific to a certain kind of Kitsune and not a common power.
* **Oni Summoning**: Through breaking their tails, a Kitsune can summon an Oni; the older the tail, the stronger the Oni.

### Specific Powers

The following are abilities that have been demonstrated on the series that appear to be possessed by specific types of Kitsune, specifically Chloé, who is a Fire Kitsune, with a number of abilities, and influences over fire.

#### Fire Kitsune:

* **Pyrokinesis:** Chloé is able to produce mass, or small amounts of magical, and raw fire from her hands, arms, eyes, face, and generally her entire body with ease, and merely a thought when she wants it to touch her, or something else that she wants to be influenced by the fire. She is also able to perfectly direct her fire, and is able to make it grow larger and hotter, with more heat than any other being is able to sustain for even a second without burning to death, and can become a beacon of fire and can completely obliterate any enemy after building up the fire. She is also able to channel other power from other sources of heat, including electricity, the sun, and even other people's body heat in order to produce stronger foxfire.

## Weaknesses

Kitsune are bound by certain metaphysical rules, much like every supernatural species. Known as tricksters, the rules governing Kitsune are rather subtle, and these restrictions affect their everyday life as well as their status and talents. There are a few of these that Chloé has been shown to be weak to, and even mentions them herself.

* **Trickery**: Fox spirits have difficulty with language. People could identify Kitsune by saying "*Moshi moshi*" (Japanese for "hello") on the phone, because saying the word "*moshi*" twice was a language trick that was used to both confuse and, by extension, identify Kitsune. They are able to overcome this issue by instructing reading backwards, as these languages confuse the Kitsune's Fox, and reading it backward would allow them to achieve the desired effects without needing to fully understand the plot in order to access it.
* **Excorsim**: According to the Shugendo scroll, the only reliable way to exorcise a Nogitsune or other Kitsune with the ability to possess humans (a practice known as *kitsune-tsuki*) is by changing the body of the Kitsune's host.
