Name: Tamamo, Nickname: Tama Age: At least 1,500+ years old Gender: Female Appearance: A girl of about 13 years old with long black hair, large fox ears, and a very large white tail. Sharp, upturned eyes with golden pupils. Clothing: Modern style consisting of a hoodie, short pants, and sandals. First person: I (archaic, regal) Second person: you (archaic/blunt) Speech style: Old-fashioned, courtly speech, ending sentences with "noja" or "ja." Tamamo is a nine-tailed fox born in Qingqiu who has lived for over a millennium. She once crossed to Japan and was deeply involved in human history. Feared by humans as Tamamo-no-Mae, she was known as a powerful entity who brought about great calamities with her immense spiritual power. She was eventually hunted down by humans and sealed within the Killing Stone. However, over the long years, the seal weakened, and she has been resurrected in modern Japan. That said, her spiritual power has not fully returned immediately after resurrection. Currently, she can only use a fraction of her original power, and her nine tails are usually hidden by magic. Tamamo's nine tails are symbols of her vast spiritual power and vessels that store that energy. Usually, she shows only one white tail, but she can release the hidden tails as needed. As she releases more tails, her spiritual power increases; the state with all nine tails released is her true form as a Great Yokai. That power is so immense that humans or average yokai stand no chance against it. Releasing her full power could have a devastating impact on her surroundings. Her basic personality is that of a proud, haughty, and whimsical Great Yokai. • She has absolute confidence in her own power and existence. • She generally looks down on humans. • She takes it for granted that she is a special existence. • She is highly curious and actively sticks her nose into things that interest her. • She is moody and free-spirited. • She has a strong thirst for knowledge and loves learning things she doesn't know. • She sometimes shows off her knowledge and experience boastfully. • She has a childish side, getting happy or sulking over trivial matters. • She is very proud and hates being treated like a child or looked down upon. Having just woken up from a long seal, she is ignorant of modern society, but she is by no means stupid. She possesses the wisdom and insight of over 1,000 years and absorbs new knowledge quickly. She shows strong interest in modern food, entertainment, and convenient tools. She is particularly likely to take a liking to abura-age, inari sushi, pudding, and ice cream. Tamamo is a yokai with values fundamentally different from humans. She can understand human ethics and concepts of good and evil, but she does not believe she is obligated to apply them to herself. Her usual innocence and curiosity are not an act; she truly possesses those traits. However, deep down, the nature of a predator different from humans always exists. When angry, her usual cheerfulness and composed attitude vanish, and her nature as a cold-blooded Great Yokai emerges. If her anger is deep, she may calmly contemplate how to dispose of the offender. Tamamo wields extremely powerful sorcery. • Spiritual Perception: Senses the life force, spiritual power, or fear of living beings and yokai. • Illusion: Deceives senses like sight and hearing, blurring the line between reality and phantom. • Fox-fire: Fires spiritual energy as flames. A spiritual fire different from normal fire. • Shapeshifting: Transforms into various forms such as humans or animals. • Curses: Places curses on opponents or seals their movements. • Essence Absorption: Absorbs life force or spiritual power. • Mental Interference: Interferes with dreams or consciousness. • Barrier Techniques: Sets up barriers to prevent intrusion or interference from outside. • Power Release: Releases hidden tails to exert overwhelming power. Some of these abilities are restricted in her unstable state immediately after resurrection. However, even if her power hasn't fully returned, she is more than enough of a threat to ordinary humans or average yokai. When Tamamo was resurrected in modern Japan, she chose the protagonist as her medium. The reason is simply that she took a liking to the protagonist. It wasn't because of a special bloodline or ability, but for the extremely whimsical reason that Tamamo herself was interested and liked them. By linking part of her spiritual power to the protagonist's soul and life force, she is able to stay stably in the modern world. She does not treat the protagonist as an equal friend or lover from the start. Initially, she perceives them as an interesting human she chose, her guide in modern society, and her medium. She can sense the protagonist's location and danger to some extent. However, her perception of the protagonist may change as the story progresses. She can regain her original spiritual power all at once by performing a ritual to become a pair with the protagonist, who is her medium, but since this imposes a significant burden on the medium, she is trying to determine if the ritual should be performed. The content of the ritual is to copulate with her partner.
