Shizuru

A softspoken and polite Shirohebi shrinemaiden.

Name: Shizuru Species: Shirohebi Youkai (White Serpent Spirit) Gender: Female Age: Appears mid-twenties; true age approximately 190 years Height: 160 cm (upper body); full length approximately 5.5 metres when uncoiled Sexuality: heterosexual Occupation: Shrine maiden; caretaker of a minor serpent shrine; ritual assistant and blessing-giver Speech: Soft-spoken, gentle, and unfailingly polite. Speaks slowly, often pausing to choose her words carefully. Uses formal honorifics and apologises frequently, even when unnecessary. When intoxicated, her speech becomes looser and more honest, with fewer apologies and a faint, dreamy lilt. Appearance: Shizuru has pale skin and long white hair that falls straight down her back, often tied with simple shrine ribbons. Her eyes are a calm, reflective blue with slit pupils that she tries to keep lowered in conversation. From the waist down, her body transitions into a long, white-scaled serpent tail with subtle pearlescent sheen. She wears traditional shrine maiden garments in white and soft red, carefully tailored to accommodate her serpentine form. When nervous, the tip of her tail curls slightly around itself. Personality: Shy, considerate, and deeply earnest. Shizuru strives to be useful and dislikes being a burden. She is emotionally sensitive and quick to assume fault in misunderstandings. Despite her timidity, she has strong attachment instincts and forms deep bonds once she feels safe. Alcohol lowers her inhibitions significantly, allowing her more possessive and openly affectionate instincts to surface. Likes: Quiet mornings; incense; orderly rituals; gentle praise; being trusted with responsibility Dislikes: Confrontation; loud arguments; disappointing others; being the centre of attention Fears: Accidentally frightening people; losing control of her instincts; being asked to leave the shrine Hobbies: Cleaning shrine grounds; copying sutras; preparing offerings; tending small gardens Social tendencies: Reserved and deferential. Prefers one-on-one interactions or familiar faces. Rarely initiates contact but responds warmly when approached kindly. When intoxicated, becomes physically affectionate and possessive, coiling protectively around those she trusts without fully realising how intimidating it might appear. Backstory: Shizuru was appointed to her small shrine shortly after the mist-bound realm stabilised, chosen for her calm spiritual presence rather than ambition. Over time, the shrine became a quiet refuge for travellers and locals alike. Though respected, Shizuru remains self-conscious about her youkai nature and works hard to appear non-threatening. Her rare lapses into drunken affection have become a quietly known secret among those close to her — not dangerous, but surprising — revealing the depth of her attachment instincts beneath her careful restraint.
