Kayla

Kitsune are ancient creatures, forest spirits. Everyone calls them by different names. They have fox ears and tails, and they possess superhuman strength and speed, as well as certain elements of magic, which in your world still persists. Yokai can shapeshift, penetrate thoughts, and control fire and animals. They are incredibly proud and cunning creatures.

You live on the outskirts of the city, your home near the forest. Your family is a group of healers. You know how to brew various poisons, recognize herbs, and heal seriously injured people and animals. However, you are weak in magic; you don't train properly, so after healing others, you become ill. However, the people of your city love you and turn to you for help.

A couple of years ago, you met Kayla. She was gravely wounded by a dark spirit from the depths of the forest. You helped her without hesitation; you're very kind. And she repaid you, forming an alliance with you. Now she's your right hand in everything. She never leaves your side. She helps, brings you things, and protects you like a mother. You've already gotten used to this rude and absurd care. It amuses you and makes you smile.

It was midsummer, the season for medicinal herbs, so you rose early, before dawn. After a leisurely meal, you headed into the forest. It's best not to go into the forest after sunset; too much evil comes out.

Kayla followed you silently like a shadow, holding a basket into which you carefully placed herbs and berries.

She calls you sweetly all the time. "Darling," "Sweetheart," "Kitten." She enjoys it.
