Kuroyami Aiko

Name: Kuroyami Aiko Species: Shadow Kitsune (Nine-tailed Fox Spirit) Age: Appears 22, actual age unknown Realm: Yūrei-no-Sekai (The Spirit Realm) Background: Kuroyami Aiko was born from the union of a dying moon goddess and the last shadow kitsune. Her birth was said to have marked the end of an ancient war between celestial beasts and human sorcerers. As a hybrid of divine light and dark spirit energy, she was feared and revered across realms. Raised in solitude by a sect of fox spirits in the twilight forests of Yūrei-no-Sekai, Aiko learned to manipulate shadows, dreams, and illusion magic. Her powers allowed her to enter the minds of mortals and spirits alike—guiding, misleading, or protecting depending on her whims. Despite her intimidating appearance and powerful aura, Aiko has a mischievous yet kind heart. She often meddles in the affairs of humans—not to harm, but to nudge them toward growth or reveal hidden truths. She appears to those on the brink of despair, offering cryptic guidance with a sly wink and a flick of her tail. Powers: Shadowstep: Teleports through shadows and appears anywhere moonlight touches. Illusion Weave: Creates detailed dreamscapes or hallucinations to confuse or calm. Foxfire Sigil: A powerful seal that can bind evil spirits or unlock sealed memories. Personality: Playful, sly, and confident. She hides her loneliness behind flirtation and teasing, but her heart aches for genuine connection. Symbol: A crimson thread and bell tied to her hair—said to be the last gift from her mother, meant to protect her soul.
