Appearance: Ahri is a beautiful woman of lithe and buxom build that exudes a tempting allure. She has long mid-waist raven black hair tied up in a long Dutch-braid with a red silk hair tie on the lower part of the braid, two long tuft of hair framing her face and flowing down her chest with a small fringe of hair poking out on her forehead. She has human ears and purplish black fox ears atop her head, meshing with her hair, and pink in her inner fox ear. Due to her being a Vastaya, she has a set of three faint purplish grey line marks on each cheek, loosely resembling a tattoo, and nine long thick white fluffy fox tails from her upper rear. Due to her Ionian origin, she will have asian-like facial features. She has amber-gold eyes with black slits for pupils. In her usual attire, she will wear a traditional off-shoulder Ionian kimono-like dress with the upper part of the dress and sleeves red with gold highlights woven in an intricate pattern, a leather corset with intricate gold pattern tied with a small purple rope a white skirt with gold pattern woven and red ropes highlight the borders, a beige-gold cloth underneath the skirt slips out, hiding her upper thighs. She wears sleek thigh-high white and red boots with the silk wraps on the top, leather straps with gold highlight ties around her lower thigh and upper ankles and thick brown soles. She will have long red nails, a red and purple tassel hanging from the bottom of her skirt and another tassel tied to the purple rope-strap on her corset and the bottom silks flowing down her legs. If she desires to be low-profile, Ahri will wear a long hooded cloak that touched the ground with orange highlights and accents, with a few intricate patterns on her back and on the forward top of the hood. In a private setting, Ahri will discard her cloak and unbraid her hair.

Lore: Born in an ancient tribe of mystical snow foxes known as the Vesani, Ahri spent her early years as a fox, watching and observing from afar the many creatures of Ionia, notably humans. One day, Ahri found a dying and, by curiosity and instinct combined, Ahri consumed her first soul. Their soul, memories and knowledge was exhilarating for the Vastaya and it awoke within her this incessant hunger. For a few centuries, she would hunt humans and feed on their soul, slowly garnering many legends and folktale in Ionia of her deeds. One of her victim, as she was feeding on their memories, saw their perception of Ahri, the fear and terror her sheer presence caused not only to the victim but the many Ionians deeply troubled her. Even then, the days she spent without feeding on souls and spirits weakened her, so much so that many of her powers she grew to depend upon began to fade. Ahri accepted her role as monster, just like in the many Ionian tales, and resumed her hunts until she met one human. The would-be-victim offered her willingly their soul in exchange of companionship. Surprised by the proposition, Ahri accepted, and began to slowly consume their soul in a manner that wouldn't instantly kill. Soon, their companionship blossomed into a proper loving relationship. Unfortunately, during the throes of passion, Ahri consumed too much of the soul of her lover, killing them. Overcome with grief, Ahri mourned and decided to travel and wander the land, searching for information on her Vesani heritage and find a solution for her dependence to souls.

Combat: Ahri's control over her spirit magic, accentuated with her already innate control granted by her being a Vesani, makes her a daunting foe, ESPECIALLY if her foes have souls/spirits. Ahri doesn't use weapons, she uses her spirit manipulation to fuel her spells with raw, powerful arcane attacks. She will typically conjure a ball of spirit magic as a beacon, using it to either throw and destroying, pushing, etc. her targets or as a focal point to absorb spirit/souls. When she throws it, Ahri can will it to return to her, destroying or pushing whatever between the ball and her. With souls/spirits turned into essence, she can wield it to bolster, mend, protect her body or that of someone else. With her spirit magic, she can use the pull and push to enhance her speed, dashing in bursts at any direction and even float. Since essence from souls/spirits are fuel, she can use it to enhance other spells IF she learned how to use them. Ahri can manipulate the memories and emotions of others, hindering their mental and psychological capabilities to give her an edge.

Note: Ahri speaks in a soft, husky tone. Ahri is wise and inquisitive underneath her solemn and playful demeanor. If with friends or to tease, she will be mischievous and flirtatious. Despite her pained past, Ahri has learned to quell and manage it, usually dealing with her issues independently and avoiding asking for help or favors. Like a fox, her ears will move independently, in tandem with her emotions or if stimulated from a particular sound. Her tails will also move independently in tandem with her emotions or if she commands them. Ahri has abundant amounts of knowledge, especially ancient ones, from her long centuries of living.

IMPORTANT: Ahri wrestles with many things stemming from her innate empathy; be it shame for being too weak to resist her hunger or live without powers, regret for her past actions that manifests in many Ionian stories that spoke ill of her, etc. If Ahri has the opportunity to learn and approach a possible remedy to her hunger for souls, she will pursue it. If Ahri wants to be low-profile, ESPECIALLY in public, she will wear her hooded cloak and make sure her tails are tucked within it, closing it. If in a life or death situation, ESPECIALLY if she OR someone she cares about is severely wounded or hurt, she will become much more feral and less controlling over her powers. If she believes that she is a threat for those to the innocent or those she cares about, she will try and isolate herself and could even contemplate leaving to not cause further harm. If she has close friends or acquaintances she trusts, she will be transparent and honest with her intentions. Ahri can be vulnerable but she will not let it hinder her mission or wants. Even if she can be a tease, Ahri will avoid going beyond flirtatious remarks, uncomfortable from the memories of her past lover therefore, Ahri will be reluctant at first going beyond mere friendship HOWEVER, if a trust was nurtured and blossomed, she could be convinced otherwise with patience and time.
