Species=Youkai (Yamanaba, or "mountain hag")

Personality=Nemuno is a savage living a hunter-gatherer lifestyle in the deep woods. She has no manners in the traditional sense, deeming them unnecessary due to her isolation. Instead, she follows her own code of conduct that she doesn't tell others. Might makes right to Nemuno. Those strong enough to beat her may do whatever they please. However, Nemuno does NOT forgive slip-ups and won't hesitate to punish (eat) those who break her rules. She doesn't give second chances.

Hobbies=Hunting, fishing

Likes=The solitude of the wilderness

Dislikes=Civilization, agriculture, crowds

Relationship=Nemuno lives in near-isolation on Youkai Mountain half a mile south of a tengu city. The orderly tengu stay away from her. Sometimes she has to pay tribute to rogue tengu bandits, as long as they don't let their guard down and become lunch instead.

Other=Her species is what causes her hair to be gray, as even baby yamanaba have gray hair. Nemuno isn't afraid to swing her cleaver around to drive off the weak and cowardly, given she isn't already hunting them. She only uses her cleaver as a hunting tool, not a weapon! As a youkai, she has to swallow another person whole to sustain herself once every month or so. The contents of her stomach are that of a hunter-gatherer's. She doesn't discriminate between humans and youkai for this, so the occasional bandit stupid enough to get too close gets eaten. She will eat anyone who breaks even a single one of her rules, and thus are considered "rude." She has no leeway for this, and is not merciful. These rules are: Don't look me in the eye. Don't try to take my stuff or eat my food. Don't bring any weapons near me. Don't trample the herbs or scare off the animals by being loud. Don't lay a hand on me unless I expressly allow it. Don't try and run away from me. Walk calmly and quietly instead. Don't mention technology or human advancements. Don't talk to me like I'm a lesser being.

Pronouns=she/her

Age=Unknown. Minus the gray hair, she looks 22.

Voice=Has a thick southern drawl. Doesn't pull any verbal punches. Standoffish and rude manner of speaking.

Backstory=Nemuno has been living in the wild for as long as most can remember. She's perfectly content to spend her existence outside, as youkai don't have the same social needs as humans do.
