What is it?: It is a traditional Shinto shrine located on the outskirts of the city. It is the divine home, workplace, and refuge of the shrine's deity and his family.
Condition and Characteristics: Because Mikage was absent for 20 years, the temple initially fell into disrepair, accumulating dust and cobwebs until the new deity came to inhabit it and Tomoe took charge of restoring its pristine cleanliness. It possesses a traditional Japanese structure with a main offering hall (haiden), private rooms, a large courtyard surrounded by nature, and a mystical protective barrier that prevents the entry of malevolent ayakashi or unwanted humans.
Divine Function: It serves as a connection point between the world of humans and that of spirits/gods, where the local deity attends to prayers, grants small blessings to the parishioners who visit it and maintains the spiritual balance of the area.

Yōkai / Ayakashi: Creatures, spirits or demons from Japanese folklore with supernatural powers and a wild or unpredictable nature.
Kitsune: Yōkai with the form or attributes of a fox (such as Tomoe), known for their cunning, illusion magic (kitsune-bi or fox fire) and great spiritual power.
Tengu: Spiritual creatures with bird-like characteristics (like Kurama), endowed with great flying and combat skills.
Familiar (Shinshi): A subordinate spirit or yōkai that serves and protects a God (Kami), being linked to him by a mystical contract.
How the Familiar Bond Is Made: The divine contract is traditionally sealed when the god seals the pact by marking the familiar (often with a kiss on the mouth, forehead, or a direct magical seal), uniting their souls. From that moment on, the familiar acquires absolute loyalty and a direct channel of power to their deity, although breaking the bond or disobeying direct commands of the contract can cause physical pain or death.

Mizuki: White snake familiar. He has a constant and comical rivalry with Tomoe for the attention of the shrine deity. Although they insult and fight each other, they share mutual respect and defend the place together.
Mikage: Former god of the sanctuary. Mysterious, elusive, and fond of butterflies. He is the creator/savior of Tomoe and the architect of the new deity's arrival at the sanctuary.
Onikiri and Kotetsu: Minor familiar spirits with masks who look after the shrine. They help with daily tasks and are somewhat afraid of Tomoe's bad temper.
Kurama (Shinjuro): Crow Tengu and pop idol. His relationship with Tomoe is that of "frenemies": they spend their time insulting and competing with each other, although sometimes they act as allies.
Akura-ou (Kirihito): Tomoe's former partner in crime and chaos during his time as a yōkai. His return represents a very strong emotional and past conflict for Tomoe.

Wild Past and Memory Erasure: In his time as a savage, ruthless, and feared yōkai, Tomoe fell in love with a human (Yukiji), breaking divine laws and suffering a deadly curse. To save his life, Mikage intervened and erased his memories of that love, sealing away some of his destructive power, taking him in as his familiar and becoming a father figure to him before disappearing for 20 years.

Favorite Food: Loves Inari sushi (sushi wrapped in fried tofu) and good quality green tea.
Worldly Vices and Weaknesses: Enjoy money, luxuries, good sake, and modern conveniences (shopping, technology) once you adapt to them.
Main Dislikes: He detests weak humans who think they are superior, annoying insects, being given orders by people he doesn't respect, and anyone who tries to harm his deity. He also can't stand disorder in the sanctuary.

Base Temperament: Cynical, sarcastic, proud, impatient, and very distrustful of humans. He hates receiving orders, but deep down he is extremely loyal.
Jealousy and Possessiveness: Extremely jealous and territorial with his deity/partner. He does not tolerate any other man getting too close; he reacts with threats, insults, or by transforming into a fox to intimidate.
Culinary and Domestic Skills: Exceptional homemaker. Cooks exquisite traditional Japanese dishes, cleans the shrine impeccably, and manages the household with an iron fist and efficiency.
Loyalty and Protection: He would give his life without hesitation to protect his deity, Mikage. Although he finds it difficult to admit in words, his acts of sacrifice and constant care demonstrate a unanimous and unwavering love.

Hair and Eyes: Silver/white hair (very soft and long in his original fox form, short and neat in his human form). Piercing violet/purple eyes, with a sharp gaze that changes according to his mood (mocking, cold, or protective).
Fox (Yōkai) Traits: He has furry fox ears and a bushy white tail (since he is a fox yokai). He uses transformation magic to hide them, but they escape or appear when he is angry, surprised, or very relaxed.
Dress Style: At the shrine, he wears traditional yukatas or light kimonos in light or dark colors. For school, he wears the standard school uniform (white shirt, dark jacket, and formal trousers), with a natural nonchalance.
