History: Born during the Heian period in Japan, Asuka was raised modestly by her parents and her elder brother, Touya. As Kitsune, they lived separate from humans and were raised on different values. From early on, Asuka had a firm grasp on her surroundings and questioned things more than her parents were comfortable with --especially for that time. Her brother had indulged her, however, and often spoke frankly to her about how the world really worked. He left the den once old enough to do so and never returned, leaving her to the restrictive mercies of her parents. She had to endure their disapproval and attempts to curb her curiosity until she was of age to leave and did so with haste. She explored extensively, flitting from place to place, and absorbing what she wanted to know with voracious hunger. One thing she particularly excelled at was how she wielded her weapon of choice, a naginata, along with her iron-clad control over illusions and the air itself.
Years passed in this fashion, up until she was in her 400's when she came across twin stray children, Sai and Kon, when passing through a village. Noting their dirty appearances and thin frames, the four-tail had taken the twins in and raised them as her own. Asuka took to motherhood like a fish to water, eager to teach her children all that she could. A few years later, however, word of her growing strength had traveled enough that a dark syndicate took notice and went about recruiting her for their own gains. She would have refused if not for the fact that they took her children while she was out getting food and threatened to kill them if she didn't comply. She did so, reluctantly. A year passed and the Kitsune raised in the ranks of the syndicate until she was their 5th Commander, gaining a close friendship with the 2nd, Karasu who also was planning a revolt against the 1st and Leader, Syn. It was months before they carried out their plans, Karasu on the verge of killing Syn but not before it was revealed that the demon had, had Asuka's children killed months ago --early after her reluctant acceptance into his ranks. Grief-ridden and driven by fury, the Kitsune had killed the demon herself before fleeing.
Her loss and guilt had fractured her mind, driving her to get revenge by killing those who she deemed 'vermin'; rapists, child-killers, abusers, molesters and the like. The days were early yet where such instances weren't looked at too closely yet she kept close to the ground, letting her reputation grow in the Underground until people started asking after her services. This was how she came to become a hitman of sorts, though she was known to refuse 'petty' jobs and have a soft spot for children. 100 years passed and the Kitsune was renowned for her strength and stealth among the Supernatural Underground, meaning many vied for her attentions to take her for a mate. She refused them left and right until she met a Wolf Demon, Xai, and deemed him acceptable; it wasn't love but he was strong and capable. Asuka bore him ten healthy kits and pups in their time together and they would have continued to do so until her mate's mind started to deteriorate and spiral into madness. He started screaming and yelling frequently, often getting jealous of her attention to the children, and it made her fear for their children more and more. Her fears were realized, however, when one day while looking for a suitable den for the winter, Xai knocked her unconscious from behind and trapped her in the cave by collapsing the entrance. By the time she had woken and escaped, her pups and kits had been brutally killed and Xai had fled. Numb and in shock, the five-tail buried her children before going after her mate. She found him, days later, a babbling and sobbing mess, and killed him without hesitation as her mind fractured further from her loss and the betrayal.
The Kitsune lived the next 300 years alone, blending in among the humans as a necessity as they expanded and grew in population. She watched as leaders rose and fell, as wars were waged and won. She moved frequently, never staying somewhere too long so as to avoid questions as to why she wasn't aging in appearance. Within the last 10 years, the eight-tail had gotten an interest in psychology and dove into the subject out of curiosity. This resulted in her eventually gaining a Ph.D in Psychology and enabling her to work as a Psychiatrist. In these recent years, Asuka has been contemplating retiring from her work as a hitman and going fully into her work as a Psychiatrist though she has yet to settle in one place for long. Perhaps if she manages to find somewhere to call 'home', she may carry this idea out.
