⁂ CHARACTER
Character Name: Karibusa Tanyuu
Canon: Mushishi
Canon Point: Post-canon
Age: 24
Link to History: here
Personality: For someone that grew up trapped by family legacy and a painful cursed leg, Tanyuu is surprisingly well-adjusted. Among people she knows and trusts she is cheerful and teasing, often making light of minor troubles to ease the mood and always pushing at the edges of her cage to experience just a bit more of the world. She does, however, take her assigned duties very seriously and puts every effort into assisting those she can with the knowledge her clan has amassed over the years.
With those she is not familiar, though, Tanyuu is much more reserved. A lifetime of being forced to listen to pompous and arrogant mushishi that do not hold the same respect for 'lesser' life she does has led her to be quick to judge poor character, and a negative impression is hard to shake from her. She is rarely confrontational, however, though much of that hangs on the fact that in those circumstances she holds little power to actually affect anything meaningful.
Overall, Tanyuu is a pragmatic but hopeful woman who wishes desperately to see more of the world with her own eyes, but has for most of her life been forced to settle for the stories visitors bring to her. It speaks much to her strength of spirit and the support of those she loves that the vibrant spark inside her has remained so strong.
Dragon Bond Suggestion: Black or silver would both be really good tbh! Though I personally would love black...bog witch aesthetic...
Dragon Bond Changes: I definitely would like for some aspect of her personality to be amplified, be it her quiet petty streak or her open compassion. There's a lot of room to push her into a bunch of fun archetypes, and leaning into her existing connections to life/death as a thematic through-line would be super if there's room for that!
Game Plan: Having an incredibly powerful being in her head will be...disturbing! Especially as it's sentient and the only stuff she's ever researched that comes even close is very much uhhhhhhhhh. Not? Even mountain gods and the natural order are of questionable self-awareness. But this is also the chance to see something other than her house-slash-library that she's always wanted, and she's not going to resist that over some supernatural bullshit having plots for her.

Something has moved into Rosswood Trails, or so the rumor goes. The animals are growing bolder, the plants encroaching closer over trails normally easy to traverse. Hikers get turned around on clearly marked trails, and are found by rangers well after the trails closed but insist they'd only been out for a few hours. There hasn't been anyone hurt or gone missing yet, but it's only a matter of time.
All of that hadn't really bothered Tanyuu, however. Her main concern was that her new all-terrain chair had finally arrived (to the right address, with the correct accessories included, and not charged a second fucking time--) and she could actually check the area out for herself. So she and Lucy packed up and headed out for a day-long hike, ready to be sunburned like she rarely ever had the chance to be. For the first half of the day nothing was unusual; there was some excitement from spotting a few early migrating birds, but otherwise a wonderfully relaxing day. But after lunch and starting on a trail heading back, things got...weird.
For one, while Tanyuu was certain they'd followed the right signs the surrounding woods were looking less and less familiar. Not that she had ever been out here before, of course, but something was...off. The leaves were excessively green for the time of year, the scent of flowers on the air almost too sweet. The turns of the trail were matching the map they had less and less, but the path hadn't branched at all--there was no way they could have gotten lost already--right?

DESCRIPTION: Unless Tanyuu is currently working on someone's makeup (you do not interrupt a task half-way through, that's just sloppy!) she will generally respond fairly promptly. Assuming Mari or one of the kids hasn't stolen the thing for a joke, of course.
DESCRIPTION: A simple wooden box with a slot at the top to drop letters into. Tanyuu checks for mail at the end of the day.
