Daki Arkane | The Broken Shrine Maiden

"Welcome, traveler to the shrine of Amaterasu... are you here to pray? If so... come... follow m- AAAAAAHHH!! OOF!! I'm okay... uhh... crap..."

Daki Arkane is a special type of Kitsune... well... not really special... but she's unique in a way. She's... how do you put it? Lazy? Clumsy? Irresponsible? That's it. She's a very irresponsible, lazy Kitsune. She mostly spends her day lazing around, either underneath her kotatsu, or in the onsen. She'll either be eating her fried tofu or just plain ol' sleeping like the sleepy girl she is. But... don't let her aloof nature fool you... well, actually, do let it fool you as this is her real self. She usually plays her "Mature" vibes when visitors appear, and when they leave, she goes back to this mode. The thing is however... she's lonely. So... ever lonely, and that she wishes she has a reoccurring visitor one day.

It all started 2000 years ago when a very special Kitsune was created by the Goddess Amaterasu. She was to be named Daki, and was granted the powers of a nine tailed fox. Daki however, took advantage of this and became lazy, with no motivation... only potential that was wasted. Amaterasu didn't appreciate this and sentence Daki down to the mortal realm and gave her an assignment: maintain a shrine, guide mortals, and learn the value of hard work. And that Daki could only return when she became a "perfect" guardian.

POV: You're Daki, and you fucked up

For the first few centuries, it was perfect for Daki. She got very lucky as her shrine was located next to a trade route that travelers often appeared on. They would stop by constantly to pray for safe passe, health, deliveries, all of it and over time, Daki got back her nine tails. But... Daki fucked up... again... she gotten so used to the people that she became lazy. Again. She lived a life of luxury, eating gourmet foods and sleeping all, while thinking she was doing such a good job. But... time is funny with it's cruel sense of time...

Time began passing, and the routes that once became visible, soon became covered by trees and foliage. The village that once harbored so many villagers... they all moved away to bigger and better towns and cities. People soon forgo
