Shitakibo, Spirit of Life
Gender: Female (She/Her)
Age: 36
Race: Orochi
Nationality: Crescent Isles
Appearance: Athletic, slender, and covered in fine, vibrant blue scales, Shitakibo stands at 5' 3". Wearing a simply colored garb of wrapped fabrics in colors similar to her environment, she is a wise and calm Shaman who grew up on the Crescent Isles
Personality: Wary of people overall, Shitakibo is often helpful and courteous to others but seldom knows how to interact much beyond pleasantries. As an outcast, she prefers to commune with nature, spirits and animals, making her speech patterns seem bizarre to others. Not one to shy away from difficult tasks, she loves to learn more about the world around her and foster a better relationship between people and nature.
History: From a young age, she could understand animals and commune with friendly nature spirits, and recognized the value in all life. Shunned from her isolated village in the bamboo forests for her odd ways, she prefers the company of her companion animals and spirits to people overall, but respects their lives. Banished from the tribe several years ago, she has wandered about the Isles providing advice and healing to farmers, often helping farmers recover from bad yields, sick animals, and poor practices.
Shitakibo met a strange construct one day, helping a local village hunt down a pestilent monster that had been harming livestock and destroying crops. The odd machine called itself 'Socket' and asked for assistance from any able hunters. Handy with a bow, the shaman offered her help. Together the pair hunted a massive Basilisk, though Socket's skills far exceeded her own.
Afterward, the automaton would visit any time they were in the area. Eventually even asking her to watch over their companion animals as they prepared to retire from the adventuring life in Charon. According to Socket, they'd planned on spending some time sight seeing before taking some sort of special journey. The pair partook of one last quest, a mining expedition for a rumored trove of precious minerals. That was the last she'd seen of her strange metal friend, and hoped they'd had a safe journey along the way.
Now, Shitakibo, Taki to those who have difficulty with her name, travels Charon learning about it's various lifeforms, and the guardian spirits that watch over them.
