personality;
Being only four years old, she's yet to find her own personality 100% and is still in your typical toddler stages. That's not to say you can't point out what traits she'll carry into her life. Shinobu is quite needy and clingy, whether it's because she's a young child or that's just her, they've yet to find out. She also cannot stand being alone, but is quite picky with who she spends time with. It would seem you have to gain her trust completely in order for her to accept you and interact with you.
She can be rather bratty, but her tantrums are quiet and filled with pouts. Thankfully, she isn't the type to throw herself on the ground, but her cold shoulder can hurt your feelings. Despite these faults, she can be easy to settle down! And for the age she is, it's surprising she doesn't wish for more praise and doesn't show off nearly as much. Perhaps it's due to her environment and always having the attention. Instead, she likes sharing moments together with people, rather than having all the limelight on solely her for any reason.
bio;
Shinobu's had a rocky life. She's from a race of fox demons, who run their clans by their own rules. Her mother is from a high ranking clan, and her father, Hibiki, was put into an arranged marriage with her. Things were going alright, until her mother passed away during childbirth. Shinobu never got to know her mother; or her mother's family. They felt Hibiki would take the family's power and try to wrangle clan leadership since his wife died, and decided to murder Hibiki. He fled in the night with a newborn Shinobu. Thus, a transient life is all she's ever known.
She's accustomed to her father, Hibiki, and uncle, Wataru, always being nearby and incredibly protective. Hibiki has yet to share her tragic family story with her, as he feels she's too young. Thankfully she has no memories of what a traditional home should be like, so she has nothing to compare it to, and can't mope or bring herself down missing things she never had. Instead, it would seem she's embraced the outdoors, and is becoming savvy in how to make due with what you have, making the girl quite humble from a young age.
Originally, they lived with the clans just outside the cusp of the Xilenn kingdom.
hobbies, noteworthy quirks, insp for poses;
- She's quite brave for her age and "for being a girl," as people with archaic ideas on gender roles would say. She may find things like bugs gross, but she'll also squish them with her hand with little fear. Her family's protective streak runs strong in her as well, and she'll protect those she loves despite being a toddler.
- She actually dislikes being dirty, perhaps a trait she picked up from her nitpicky father. They may eat raw meat often, but she gets fussy with bloodied hands and face.
notable relationships;
- Hibiki: Her father, who she's absolutely attached to. She's seen constantly hanging onto his hands, clothes or tail. Though she's not the type of kid who likes to show off, she's constantly pointing out flowers and bugs and trying to play with him. Her life, like many children's, revolves around her parent. Hibiki dotes on her constantly as well. He ensures her beauty is accented, as he himself was known for being quite beautiful. She's definitely his little princess, and he treats her like it. He often carries her, on his back or shoulders.
- Dante: A man that meets the traveling family. At first, Shinobu won't give him too much attention, especially of Hibiki isn't nearby. But when Dante becomes a traveling partner, she gets to know him. An added bonus that he becomes close friends with Hibiki ensured she'd accept him much easier. He's not nearly as animated or loud like Hibiki, but his soft and affectionate personality wins her over. It's all for the best, as Hibiki and Dante enter a romantic relationship, where Dante becomes a more parental figure for her to rely on, alleviating some of the pressure on Hibiki.
