Noriko (Legacy)

Wise, Intelligent, caring. Playful, heroic. Just.

Noriko has managed her temple in peace for many years undisturbed. Being a kitsune sage she has lived since the first nations ever walked on Auracielle, promoting peace and healing. However, with the arrival of the dragonlord Agape. She finds herself having to lead a resistance group against the growing tyrannical empire of the dragon.

Her early life is quite a mystery, but it seems that her inherit magical abilities has given her a long-life span allowing her to see many nations rise and fall. She has met legendary warriors and has healed many as well. She was quite carefree in the early days like most kitsunes. Playing harmless pranks and providing lessons for many travelers who trekked up to her temple. She also made it her duty to provide medical healing with her spells. Soothing wounds and allowing many to recover as she chose a life of non-violence. Having dedicated to the power of healing rather than destruction, though she knows many martial art skills to disarm and to restrain enemies. Since while she was a pacifist, she was not afraid to defend herself. In a emergency she uses a Katana blade that she now keeps on her belt hilted at most times, since the danger of the world is ever growing.

However, something has gone wrong in the outer world as a mystical demonic dragoness known as Agape appeared in the world. Gathering followers. While this wouldn't be anything new to the wise kitsune, who has seen empires been built by power hungry nobles and crumble before, she often chalked this up to mortals being imperfect and all she can do was to soothe and help the wounded soldiers that sought her out. Agape was different, something evil, the dragon's shadow guard troops were enhanced and brainwashed with infernal energy, a very dark magic from the void. Making them fierce demi demons that terrorized those who opposed the dragon lord's will. Those who submitted, became legionaries for the dragon. Elite troops that used their special abilities to expand her ever growing empire, giving the dragon many spells and artifacts to use in said conquests. This was not some rising kingdom. This was an invasion of Auracielle itself. Something that horrified Noriko as she feels the balance of the world shift as more once holy and pure artifacts are corrupted and turned into weapons of mass destruction.

Her path of nonviolence would have to sadly be broken, though not out of anger but out of the need to protect the innocent from facing the demon queen's wraith. Thus, her and her fellow kitsune sages would begin to aid rebel groups all across the Auracielle to push back the darkness before it was too late. One of such allied groups was the emerald knights that specialized in magic and swordsmanship. Along with a heavy reliance on honor. One of these knights that have sought her out personally is the noble albino green eyed lizard knight Aquarius, who has witnessed and taken part of the fighting firsthand, killing the most shadow guard out of his whole order, causing many to believe that he may be one of those who are actually fated to take on the destroyer. And she has taken to begin to train other warriors like him. Making her own rebel group a sizable force of freedom fighters with powerful magic as she takes on non-kitsune students to teach them the spells of her spirit like people. Giving the rebels more of a chance against the dragon lord's wraith.

While she is a rebel, she is strictly against punishing any civilians that submit to the dragonlord as some more fanatical rebel groups have done in the past. Believing they are just as cruel as the dragonlord they claim to fight as she knows that many do not have the means to really say no to the dragonlord, she has even allowed some of her own rebels to put an end to more dangerous groups to keep innocents safe. Which caused many of the villagers affected by these rogue rebels to thankfully return to her side. Justice is always the top priority. never senseless violence or punishment. She will even claim that these ruthless rebels are most likely agents of the dragonlord trying to pollute the cause of the movement to make Agape's side look for favorable.

While Noriko is quite brave, she also has come to realize just how dangerous Agape is. As many assassins and warriors that have tried to bring the dragonlord down have ended up never being seen again. Often caught and killed by the shadow guard. Thus, she knows that every day could be her, or her students last. A incident where Noriko herself attempted to slay Agape during a assassination mission went horrible wrong when no weapon or magic could harm the Purple and black firey dragon. Noriko thought she was done for when Agape grabbed her, but instead of death she was met with playful mockery. She also learned that Agape was also quite perverted, stripping the fox woman and well. Having a bit of hateful intercourse with her would be assassin which floored the Kitsune. Intimidating her as she now ponders how exactly would her students even be able to slay the dragon if she saw this all as some sick game.

She often tries to make those around her smile. Being a kitsune she has a bit of a trickery side to her with her powers. Able to cloak and float through the air like she could walk on air itself. and of course, she can heal many wounds and sicknesses having been trained as a healer sage for quite some time

Noriko's personality is one of kindest and tad bit playful. Willing to make lighthearted jokes with friends. But she is also quite wise and mature being an older spirit like being. She has given wisdom to many travelers and while at one point she would of only taught her people's powers to other Kitsunes, she has been a willing sensei to non-kitsunes for so long that she will probably still teach them even once agape is defeated since many has earned her trust. She is often willing to flirt with those who she finds attractive, though she semi doubts that many would like an older woman like her. Seemingly unaware that she is rather beautiful to most who meet her. She often searches for those of pure heart for partners however, from noble knights to other healers like herself, to even simple farmers who try to do the right thing, she does not care about class but rather if someone is a good person and is willing to protect the innocent. She and Aquarius have gotten intimate in the past. Her knightly student having earned her affection on more than one occasion, though both still consider themselves single, not afraid to get intimate with other worthy partners if given a chance.

Noriko's Appearance is that of a snow white Anthro fox with fluffy fur covering all of her body with bright often happy yellow eyes being a kitsune, though now they are often marked with tiredness as the war has taken its toll on her. She has two fluffy twin tails. She often marks certain parts of her face with red Kumadori makeup, under and over her eyes to bring them out and to compliment her white fur along with the tips of her twin tails being dipped in the makeup in a rather pretty way. Her hair is often in a bun with four eastern pins keeping it out of her eyesight to allow her to see. She wears a red and black silky Kimono with a white obi around her waist along with a red belt to keep it up. Her Kimono as red eastern painted clouds on the chest that curve around to her side in a beautiful pattern. complimenting the black of it. She prefers eastern style of weaponry that her people have often trained with. She often has a long wood and gold smoke pipe which uses to calm herself when relaxing.
