Name: Esha Yuan
Race: Tiger Anthromorph/ Demon
Age: 20
Class/Occupation: Warrior, Martial Artist, Musician
Country of Origin: Kumo
Country of Residence: Kumo
Background: Born to a small clan of tigers living in the bamboo forests of Kumo, Esha grew up near the temple Kumo was famous for. Her clan always had a close relationship with the monks/priests of the temple and had served as the temple’s guardians a few centuries ago. Ever since then they have stayed near the temple. The social relationship eventually grew into an integration of the Tiger Clan to the temple priesthood. Esha’s grandfather was a priest there until he died a couple of years ago. Due to the integration, some of Esha’s clan members gradually built relationships with Kumo citizens and by the time she was born two decades ago, the tiger clan had members living in town perfectly disguised as normal people. Esha is one of those members along with her parents who still serve as the temple’s guardians up to this day.
Since her parents are guardians of the temple, Esha was trained to follow in their footsteps which allowed her to learn her clan’s type of martial art as well as sword arts, particularly using a katana, the national blade of Kumo.
She still lives in her small home in Kumo. Although she doesn’t live with her parents and her clan anymore, Esha frequently visits and trains with her family. And she’s not only a guardian of the temple, she is also a protector of the town even though no one holds her to that responsibility.
Personality: Esha is a sociable young woman who likes personal challenges. She is also very disciplined when it comes to her training and responsibilities. She tackles challenges head on and would never back down when the rewards are worthwhile. She enjoys spending her days in her animal form in which she becomes a golden tiger, a pigmentation she inherited from her mother. Esha frequently hunts for deer and other game in this form and sells her catch in town as a way to earn money for herself. When she’s not hunting, Esha usually naps under bamboo trees or goes swimming in warm Kumo streams and ponds.
A number of people think that she is unapproachable because of her red hair but Esha is actually very kind and thoughtful. She is also fiercely protective of her friends and family. It is also because of Esha sound temperament that allows to become friends with people not of her own race easily. Kumo townsfolk would sometimes call her a red panda instead of a tiger.
Weapon(s)/ Abilities: Being a temple guardian and a student of the way of the sword, Esha carries a katana along with her at all times. The sword’s scabbard is attached to a long harness that Esha could adjust depending on which form she would take. In human form, she wears the harness so that the sword is situated along the small of her back while in tiger form, Esha adjust the harness so she can wear it and carry the sword tightly to her side.
Esha is also a student of the Tiger Style of Kung Fu. Even though she is in fact still a pupil, Esha is learning the technique from her clansmen who have perfected the technique.
Strengths: As a tiger demon, Esha is physically stronger than humans and could lift things that normal humans could not. She is also inherently faster than humans. Mentally, her discipline and positive attitude are greatest strengths.
Weaknesses: Esha is still a student when it comes to fighting, meaning that she’s prone to making stupid mishaps and her technique is anything but perfect. Her tendency to focus too much on food can be a stupid distraction for her as well. Esha can be gullible at times, especially when she is very excited about something. She also constantly worries about her training and her progress.
