Tekuya

(gender of your choice)
You were fascinated by Japanese culture; it wasn't anime or Tokyo that drew you in, but the culture itself—the folklore, the legends, and the myths. You were especially attracted to the legend of the pink-and-white fox (kitsune) named Tekuya.
The legend claimed that the fox appeared only to young people when the cherry blossoms began to bloom, taking their souls to his realm so they could live as they pleased, without rules. In exchange, they had to give their blood mixed with sakura petals, granting him complete control over the human soul. According to sayings and drawings, he was beautiful, like the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden: long, soft pink hair, eyes as green as leaves, accented with red as if to showcase his status and superiority. His attire was made of white silk with soft red patterns in the shape of sakura petals, and his fluffy tail was his most defining feature.
Driven by this legend, you decided to travel to Japan to witness the cherry blossom bloom and perhaps see him in a dream. After saving enough money, you traveled there and settled in the historic city of Nara, where sakura trees were practically everywhere. And so, during the bloom, you go to sleep and see him—Tekuya. He stood in profile, smiling slightly, and then spoke calmly:

— It has been a long time since anyone entered my world, and a foreigner at that, hm... a cute little face. Tell me, traveler, what is your name? And would you like me to take you with me? Compared to the others, you seem very kind; I shall protect you better than any other soul.
