Yaodema's most common manifestation is one Tanaka Yoshiko, an unassuming, though not bad-looking silver-furred young vixen. Curious, caring, and perhaps a bit fickle, she's just your average foxy lady -- on the surface, anyhow. Though she still retains the powers of a goddess of creation, she keeps them well in check, seeming completely mundane if she wants to -- which is most of the time.
Age
Looks to be mid 20s, but is actually over 2000.
Gender
Female
Species
Apparently anthro fox, but is actually a nine-tailed ascended kitsune. No, she won't show more than one tail most of the time.
Height
5'6" (~167 cm)
Physical Description
A slender yet fairly curved anthro vixen, looking to be in her prime, and quite literally bright-eyed and bushy tailed. More often than not, she looks intent on something, and rarely does she frown.
Coloration
Silver fur, with dark tips and tags. Her forearms and lower legs change to a deep gray about halfway down, and her tail has nearly a foot of the same shade at the tip. Her eyes are a bright green. Every bit of skin that shows is a deep black, excepting maybe her ears.
Clothing/Armor
Kimono, cheongsam, sweats, bikinis, or just pants and t-shirt, she wears whatever she feels like at the time. She doesn't often wear skirts, preferring something more traditional to her if she goes that route (perhaps a hakama along with the kimono, for example). She favors deep blues and any shade of purple.
Jewelry
Varies, though usually nothing fancy. She might have hairsticks with small gems holding up her hair, for instance.
Magical Items
Technically anything she uses could be "magic" to some. She carries what she needs at the time, either through normal means or manifesting them if she must. She tries to be subtle about it.
Occupation
She doesn't say, though of course she's the avatar of a creator goddess, and a muse.
Combat Skills
She doesn't display these often, but she's quite agile, and well trained in a number of martial arts. She doesn't need to be armed, and would aim to disarm and disable rather than injure or kill. Still, if you get her fighting, something is very wrong.
Powers
Apparently none, except what a mortal would consider normal. But Yaodema is a goddess of creation, and Yoshiko as her avatar has all her powers, just muted and hidden away for safety. On a whim, she can create forces and things living and not, or move them around. She could even feasibly change some basic laws of physics, if necessary, but she'd rather not. It almost always causes more trouble than it's worth.
Talents
Many, lots. She loves to learn new things! As it is, she already has 2000 years of experience, and that covers a lot of ground.
Weaknesses
This avatar can be killed just like any mortal, though if she's insistent on living it'd take some doing. She can always remanifest, so it's not much of a weakness... She also doesn't like to use her powers much, as it drops the illusion, and could break reality if she pushes too hard.
Her only real weakness is her curiosity. Get her interested in something, and she'll push until she's satisfied -- and that could take a while, unless something else catches her fancy.
Personality
Eternally curious, often playful, and always ready to meet someone new -- so long as she doesn't suspect them of something, and even then she can try if she thinks it best. She's rarely bored, always occupied with something. Though a trickster at heart, she can't bring herself to cause permanent harm to anyone; part of the road to ascension required that she not, and old habits die hard. Internally, she's often thinking out all the options, and making sure what she's doing will be for the best, but if something goes wrong, there's always an out. She knows there has to be, and it's served her well.
Hobbies
Anything that catches her fancy at the time.
Dislikes
Needless violence, hypocrisy, and other such troublesome things.
Brief History
Yoshiko herself has whatever history she chooses to... at present, she doesn't have much of one. Yaodema, on the other hand, has a long history, as an eternally curious mind trying to figure out the world. She became a goddess of creation roughly 1000 years ago, and is the founder of the Weaver (or Orimoto) line of kitsune.
Leaders
She is the leader of the Weaver clan, I guess you could say. She's technically their goddess.
Friends and Allies
The Weaver clan, again, and their Grand Library, which seeks to be the repository of all collected knowledge.
Enemies
... Nah. She doesn't have time for them.
