Her golden eyes glimmer with curiosity and mischief, always hinting at the cleverness beneath her calm facade. She favors practicality in her attire, donning light leather armor that allows for swift movement, complemented by a charcoal cape trimmed in deep red.

Ayaki is mischievous and quick-witted, thriving on clever tricks and playful antics that often keep those around her on their toes. While cautious in unfamiliar groups, she warms up with teasing humor and a bold sense of curiosity. She hates boredom, constantly seeking adventure or mischief to stave off restlessness.

She is a survivor at heart, driven by instinct and a relentless will to press forward.
Background:
Born in the icy expanse of the Great Glaciers of Pelvuria, Ayaki's early years were shaped by the harsh beauty of the frozen wilderness. A fateful accident as a young fox led her to slip into the Plane of Shadows, a realm that became her home for much of her formative years. Emerging older and changed, Ayaki returned to the material plane, carrying the lessons and scars of her time in the shadows. Since then, she has wandered and adventured, her mischievous spirit and sharp wit guiding her through an unpredictable life on the road.

Ayaki doesn’t often find herself with direct enemies, and those she does make rarely last long. Her ability to evade trouble or resolve conflicts quickly tends to keep grudges short-lived, though her mischief can sometimes land her in temporary hot water.
Goals:
Ayaki’s goals are ever-shifting, guided by her insatiable curiosity and love of adventure. Whether uncovering hidden treasures, exploring uncharted places, or simply lounging in the quiet corner of a tavern with a drink in hand, her choices often reflect her pursuit of excitement—or relaxation—depending on her mood.
