This is my fursona/mascot character, Amane. She's supposed to represent me, but...kinda doesn't. It seems to be impossible for me to make a character that's just me as an animal. Whenever I try, I always end up giving them personality traits, abilities and backstory that have nothing to do with me, and I also mostly refer to them as a separate character. So, she is and isn't me at the same time, confusing as that is. ^^; Since I don't want to use my real name online, feel free to call me Amane or Ammy if you want.

Anyway, some other info about Amane:

• Her name is Japanese, although she is not, and it means "sound of heaven" (my username), at least according to the names website I found it on. I think it's pronounced AH-ma-ne.

• As half-kitsune, Amane and her litter mates inherited some odd abilities from their father's side of the family that surprise and confuse their poor mother. Aside from some of the usual kitsune powers, the kits ended up with individual abilities like levitation or teleportation, in the case of the two eldest siblings. Amane's abilities, however, tend to have to do with sound. Here's a list:

  - Shapeshifting - A normal kitsune power. Amane can take on a variety of different forms and is learning new ones all the time. She mainly uses her fox form, with human, werefox, and bird being the next most frequently used. I will draw some of her other forms on a separate sheet later.

  - Foxfire - A normal kitsune power. Amane can summon a colorful flame to protect herself in emergencies.

  - Musical Talent - An individual ability. Amane can play practically any instrument she tries, even if she has to work at it a while first. Her main instrument is the clarinet and she is also fond of hand bells. She can sing, although she's hesitant to do so where people, especially strangers, can hear. She deeply loves music and has a tendency to hear it even in everyday sounds.

  - Sound Manipulation - An individual ability. Somehow, Amane is able to manipulate the sounds around her. She mainly uses this ability to allow herself to move about in total silence, even while wearing a necklace covered with bells. This is a very good thing for a fox who wants to remain undetected while hunting or snooping where she shouldn't. However, she can also amplify sounds, such as making her bark louder to the point that it will startle and temporarily deafen an enemy and allow her to get away. She can even make sound sharper or flatter. Amane probably hasn't even figured out half of what she can do with this ability.

  - Mimicry - Like a mockingbird, Amane can mimic sounds she hears: bird calls, animal sounds, and a million other things, even human voices. She can throw her voice as well.

• Personality: Amane can be a bit shy around new people or situations, and like any fox she is very cautious. However, once she becomes more comfortable and knows she is safe, she can allow her true self to come out. She is loyal and friendly to those she trusts and can be very energetic and silly at times. She likes to get all her friends involved in singing and playing music with her. She's also curious and not opposed to adventure as long as she doesn't have to rush into it headlong without any preparation.

• Friends: Kafi, Lotte, Blaise, Celeste, and others
