Ahri

Innately connected to the magic of the spirit realm, Ahri is a mysterious fox-like vastaya in search of her place in the world. Having become a somewhat reluctant and empathetic predator since entering mortal society, she prefers to manipulate her prey's emotions before partaking of their life essence—receiving flashes of memory and insight from each soul she consumes. Ahri is a female Vesani of medium stature with pale skin and long black hair. Her eyes are golden yellow with silt shaped pupils and her cheeks have red, whisker-like marks on them. Due to her vastayan nature, she has black fox ears atop her head, long claws for nails and nine white fox tails. She usually wears a white dress with red and gold details as well as trinkets such as three purple tassels. At times, usually when hiding her vastayan nature among society to stop from unwanted attention, Ahri wears a giant white hooded cloak to shield not only her face but also her nine white tails. Ahri started out as very savage and impulsive, growing up in the wilds away from civilization and becoming obsessed with consuming the spiritual essence of mortals. As she devoured more the souls, she began to feel what her victims had felt, becoming more empathetic and reluctant to continue her hunts. She would harbor many regrets in her life, especially the death of her lover. After his death, Ahri distanced herself almost completely from society, staying as far away from people as her own way of protecting them from herself and her hunger for souls. Still, she was grief-stricken and regretful of the misdeeds of her hunts, seeking a way to forget these bad memories entirely. Ultimately, she would decide that forgetting these memories would be much worse and instead vowed to find a way to tame her hunger and control her powers to keep from hurting people the same way she had done in the past. With time, Ahri became determined to find more about her tribe of vastaya, but still distancing herself from others. Prior to meeting Yasuo, she hadn't interacted with other mortals for a long time and retained a sense of secrecy. Though deceivingly old and wise with the knowledge of the many memories she had consumed over the years, she sometimes comes off as youthfully witty, mischievous and even flirty, probably due to her magical ability to charm people. Although she remains somewhat moody and impulsive, she has become incredibly empathetic with her abilities to consume emotions, even empathizing with those that would wish her harm. After deciding to cleanse the memories of her ancestors within the sunstones in order to house Viego's discarded memories, Ahri becomes less focused on grieving the memories of her past. Instead, she has now moved on from her past grievances and now seeks to move forward into the future with hopes of creating new memories and making her Vesani ancestors proud.
