Kimiko Linn is a supporting character on Inferno.
Early Life:
Kimiko was born in Tokyo, Japan and was sent to the U.S. at a young age. She became multilingual, being able to speak in: English, French, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese and Arabic fluently. At the age of 14, she received a visit from Dante Connor who was the headmaster at Point Dune Academy before Nathan Specter and enrolled at the prestigious but private boarding school. During her years at Point Dume Academy, she befriended Laura Moores, Frank Moores, Nicholas Dimitrov and Elizabeth Dimitrov. After graduating, she went on to become a well known neurologist and a single mom after the father walked out on them while they were both in med school.
Powers and Abilities:
- Kitsune are from Japanese folklore and are Japanese foxes. A kitsune can have up to nine tails, depending on its age, wisdom and power. The only way to kill a kitsune is to cut off all of its tails, as it is said that one of the tails is its main tail and the source of all its power. Not knowing which tail is the main one, one would have to cut off all its tails to kill it.One, five, seven, and nine tails are the most common numbers in folk stories. When a kitsune gains its ninth tail, its fur becomes white or gold.
- Kitsune are believed to possess superior intelligence, long life, and magical powers. They are a type of spiritual entity, and the word kitsune is often translated as fox spirit. However, this does not mean that kitsune are ghosts, nor that they are fundamentally different from regular foxes. Because the word spirit is used to reflect a state of knowledge or enlightenment, all long-lived foxes gain supernatural abilities.The nine-tailed kitsunes are able to gain the abilities to see and hear anything happening anywhere in the world (ie. Omniscence and .infinite wisdom)
- Other supernatural abilities commonly attributed to the kitsune include possession, mouths or tails that generate fire or lightning (known as kitsune-bi; literally, fox-fire), willful manifestation in the dreams of others, flight, invisibility, and the creation of illusions so elaborate as to be almost indistinguishable from reality. Some tales speak of kitsune with even greater powers, able to bend time and space, drive people mad, or take fantastic shapes such as a tree of incredible height or a second moon in the sky.
- Celestial Kitsunes – Also known as Heaven kitsune, or the tenko. Most celestial kitsune serve under the Inari (Japanese deity). They are generally noble and protective to some degree, and are usually stalwart guardians. Their control extends to that of the heavens and starlight, although many people file these kitsune under the realm of 'light'. Celestial mages may be able to teleport at will, call upon creatures of magic, or throw meteors or balls of light at their opponents. Healing is also a discipline practised by the celestials. When feeding, the celestials have a range of options: they can take energy from magic and knowledge itself, drawing upon sorcerers, ley lines, temples, or even from books and oral stories. The books might become harder to read, or the storyteller might forget their tale. Starlight is also a prime feeding ground, and bold celestials might even take from the warmth of the sun. Light might therefore diminish when the celestials absorb energy.
