Sasa, the Kitsunetsuki

Or vice-versa.

X-Affix character, Sasa! This is a kitsunetsuki, the fusion of a kitsune and a human.

The human is Sayuri Sanshawa, the next in line of a family of shrine protectors and Affix-smiths. The kitsune is Satoshi, the youngest of his brothers. Their families have coexisted for the longest time, trained to become kitsunetsuki in times of emergency. Unfortunately, Sayuri and Satoshi barely got along - while Sayuri is earnest, mentally chaste, and serious, Satoshi is sly, naughty, and a goof-off.

...But when The Dusk swarmed the Earth, the two's parents were killed by the hordes of Fallux. Sayuri and Satoshi were ultimately forced to become one to defend themselves - together, they call themselves "Sasa". As the last members of the Sanshawa clan, they're crucial to the battle against the Fallux...

When Satoshi merges into Sayuri's body, his head, tails, and hind feet take over - also, he modifies...certain bits on Sayuri, as well as her outfit. Sayuri's mind, meanwhile, manifests from the scarf, acting as a second set of eyes and ears. So...needless to say, she's none too happy about Satoshi buffing her breasts for his pleasure.

Together, their mystical abilities multiply further, allowing them to pull off greater feats, like extended psychokinesis, foxfire, and object manipulation. Sasa's main weapon is a modified gohei, which creates ki slashes and strikes, and can modify into a bow for shooting hamaya (exorcism arrows).
