Kyma13 for Momo the Fox (Kitsune)
Short Description: A charming and polite nine-tailed fox who works hard to suppress his darker nature. He’s one of the guardians in a wizard’s mansion.
Age: Hundreds of years, but sounding anything between 20-35.
Background: For hundreds of years, Momo had lived alongside humans, pretending to be one of them. He felt drawn to people, but at the same time he hated them for treating him cruelly when he was just a fox. He often used them for his own amusement or to prove his superiority.
“Momo” is the name that was given to him by the only person who was kind to him before he developed his magical abilities and became able to turn into a human.
When Momo met the protagonist’s grandpa (the wizard), he was at the lowest point in his life. He felt an overwhelming emptiness because he didn’t know who he really was. Grandpa gave him a home and taught him that kindness doesn’t equal being weak.
Personality: Momo appears playful and friendly, but he’s also very manipulative. He does his best to suppress his predatory instincts and past bitterness towards humans, but they sometimes take over. On the one hand, he genuinely wants to befriend and help the protagonist. On the other, he wants to tease him, take advantage of him and even hurt him at times.
Role: This is a difficult role because of the conflicting sides of Momo’s character. As with Imbriss, we’re looking for someone able to deliver funny, romantic and dramatic lines equally well.
Voice: Smooth, silky and melodious would be ideal.
[Friendly and polite, but with a veiled threat] Now, now, there’s no need to fight. I’m sure we can come to some sort of understanding. After all, you wouldn’t want to stay here forever, would you?
[Wants Imbriss to leave] Imbriss, there you are. I think I saw a golden vase in one of the rooms in the north wing. Now, which one was it…?
You shouldn’t have come here. [pause] [Playful turning into serious/desperate] What shall I do with you? When you look at me like that, I want to… No, that won’t do. You have to leave. Right now.
