Yamato

Hoshiko has soft, chestnut-brown fur with white patches around her eyes and mouth, giving her a gentle yet playful expression. She wears an ornate kimono embroidered with gold floral patterns, symbolizing wealth and grace. Her large, expressive eyes glimmer with mischievous wisdom, and she is often seen with a playful smirk. A crimson and gold kanzashi adorns her head, completing her traditional yet enchanting look, while her bushy tail often sways behind her, hinting at her shapeshifting abilities.

Charming and playful, she has a mischievous streak that perfectly complements her Tanuki heritage. She enjoys playing harmless pranks on her patrons but always ensures they leave with a smile. Beneath her fun-loving exterior is a wise and cunning mind, always ten steps ahead in any negotiation or conversation. She has a deep respect for spirits, whom she considers her closest allies, and extends her hospitality to both mortals and supernatural beings. Despite her carefree nature, she is fiercely protective of her tavern and those who find solace within its walls.

The enigmatic owner of The Enchanted Sake House, she was once a wandering spirit who found joy in trickery and illusions. Eventually, she settled in the heart Tanuki Grove, using her illusionist skills to create a magical tavern and inn. The Enchanted Sake House constantly shifts its layout, with rooms changing locations and decor depending on the time of day, season, or the mood of its guests. Her establishment is known to attract wandering spirits and adventurers alike, offering them more than just a place to rest—an experience steeped in magic and wonder.
