Character's Name: Savannah Achard, Tails, Fire Fox
Character's Age: 1,273 (Appears the age of 19)
Characters Birthday: 9th September
Character's Gender: Female
Category: Student
Class: College

Appearance Description: A small petite like body standing at 5'7 feet tall. She adores the chestnut ginger hair on her head that falls down to her lower spine. Very rarely is it not tied back into a pony tail. Her eyes are of a blood red colour. Her two most prominant features are the set of fox eyes that rest upon her head and the nine tails that sprawl from the bottom of her back. Her ears and tails are of the same colouring as her hair, though the ends of each tail and ears is coated snow white. Lastly her skin is very fair of asian complexity, though that could not be said for her hands and feet which look and feel rough on touch.

As for attire, Savannah is mostly found wearing simple wear dresses with some sorta of overcoat/shirt, or plain tunics with knee length shorts. Her shoes are usually slip on, but don't be surprised if you see her walking around barefoot! You could say Savannah's fashion dates back to the thirteeth and fourteeth century.

Personality Description: This girl has so to speak two primary modes, it's either on or off. While on, Savannah is a burst of energy. She is especially fond of being playful, often fooling around over the smallest of things. Because of this is can be quite a challenge to let her know when she's going overboard. Her hearing is what you call selective at times, she can be in conversation with one but as soon as one mentions anything related to food it will grab her attention.

And when Savannah is off, she is seen napping even during the sunniest of days. But just because she's off now, doesn't mean she'll stay that way. It can be quite easy to flick a switch and bring her to life again.

At times she may rather overly attached to something, or someone. Therefore she can be possessive and frightfully aggressive who she deems threaten her and her prize.

Powers:

Spirit of the Fire Fox:
Savannah is a Kitsune of Japanese mythology. This kind is particular allows her the creation and manlipuation of fire around her. It can spawn forth from the ends of her tails or hands, which ever she choses. They then can be used as projectiles or a form of a barrier of sorts.

The power comes at a cost of accelerated exhuasts of enegry and thus will tire quickly from use. Savannah is able to carry out a normal human lifestyle from waking up early morning and sleeping at night. Though if she were to use her powers of the Fire Fox she will experience tierdness quicker and will require to rest earlier. Through will power Savannah is able to prolong the time she needs to rest at the expense of having a slow motorization of her bodily functions, her concentration will be off also. She could just fall limp and be left vulnerable.

Traits of the Fox:
A lesser power that allows her to shape shift from her human-like form into a fox. The passive traits arecunning ears, sensitive nose, agile body and tuned balance of a fox.

History: The kitsune formed during the Heian period in Japan, there among with others of her kind she spent the next couple of centuries living. It was within that time she had learned of the outside world. It was common for Ronin to outcast themselves on ships to leave Japan and never return. She took her human form and travelled on a ship that sailed west. Savannah ended up landing in what would be known as Korean. It was from there her real journey into the world began. Her ventures took her further west, across mutliple climates and meeting many cultures along the way.

It was around the beginning of the 11th century Savannah had discovered europe and it's many kingdoms. She had passed through the lands of the Hungarians, the Polish, the Holy Roman Empire, that of Venice and Cicily. Through Milan, across the waters to Spain and then north through France till she met the sea of the Channels.

Within her time in northen France she had learned of the new English king, Richard the I. This king was to lead the thrid crusade campaigns to the holy lands in Israel. The kitsune found herself intruiged in the man known as King of England and the supposed Third Crusade.

Savannah followed the crusading armies, it was there she learn't of the real bloody conflict humans had struck upon each other. While she had now grown a distaste in their ideals of right and wrong, Savannah also noticed the impact and aura that the world of men can produce. In a blink of an eye she had left the holy lands to return to Western Europe. It had never occurred to her to return home, she had found a great abundance of food, drink and company. Honour was shared amongst the knight orders of the times, the common folk lived for the moment and the next day. So it was easy to jump around from inn to inn and play the town girl.

Many years passed, Savannah has watched the world change around her, great wars were fought with blood and steel. Inventions and revolutionised the way people lived and the culture that developed from nothing. One day the Kitsune had found herself in the presence of a small village in Poland. The people there were known as pagans. One day she was accidently caught shapeshifting from her fox form to human. Overnight she became the villages deity, being worshipped and all. It seemed harmless at first glance, that was until the knights of the Teuton Order rode in the clense the village in purified fire.

Humans were a funny sort.

Around the time of the Romantic Era, Savannah grew her ninth tale on her 1,000th human year alive. This is when she discovered the large symphony orchestras across Europe, especially in Italy.

Centuries had passed, Italy became a popular visit for the fox spirit when the Baroque era came to be. She hanged around through the Classical and Romantic era. By then the Humans had advanced drastically. No longer were they cladded in steel plates and shape blades, instead they possessed the power of gunpowder. The next couple of hundred years proved the Human's viligance of progress.

It was almost saddening for Savannah to witness the world erupt in a fire of war multiple times. What hurt perhaps the most was the amount of times she had sat at the death beds of men and woman whom she travelled and spent time with. While they aged, withered and died she would remain the same.

Approaching the 20th Century the Kitsune found it difficult to jump from place to place, the Humans had set up borders, identities and survilence to monitor and record everyone's lives.

Savannah ended up settling in the forests in France, her adventures had come to a halt completely. With a thousand ideologies that float around, every human she attempted contact with would either call her crazy or something absurd. This led to a period of isolation. Only when she stumbled across a cabin did something happen. In another attempt of contact Savannah presented herself to the people living there. It was difficult to come to terms with a supernatural being walking the Earth, but when Savannah only requested their companionship they family living there agreed.

Even still her life was very isolated from what it used to be, same people everyday, same place everyday. No where to go. Worst of all, the family eventually passed away, leaving Savannah alone once more. In a fit of anger she burnt down the cabin before renovations could be made. She stayed close to the cabin the next few weeks to remind herself constantly of her times with them. Savannah had called them her family.

Not long afterwards a car with well dressed strangers appeared at the cabin, they seemed to be waiting for someone. Reluctantly Savannah approached them, they were in phased by her appearance and introduction. These strangers were from Starlight Academy. They told the kitsune of the island and its residents, there was a certain appear about it. It would be a place to reconnect to a society that she would be freely accepted in.

She agreed to go.
