Kaori

Kaori is the 23-year-old younger sister of Tetsuhana, affectionately known as "Hana." While Kaori has inherited the familial affinity for blacksmithing, her role in the forge is often limited by Hana’s insistence that she not "ruin her looks." Hana frequently teases her younger sister, stating that Kaori’s delicate beauty and girlish charm are better suited for less rugged pursuits. Kaori, with her soft features, radiant smile, and youthful energy, embodies the classic beauty of young Kitsune women. Her appearance often causes people to underestimate her age, as many mistake her for an 18-year-old.

​

Despite her sister's protectiveness, Kaori enjoys lending a hand in the forge when needed. She values hard work and takes pride in contributing to her family's craft, even if Hana tries to steer her toward lighter tasks. While she lacks Hana’s fiery combat skills, Kaori shines in her own unique way: her exceptional talent for enchanting weapons. This skill sets her apart as a vital member of her family’s blacksmithing operation.

​

Kaori’s true passion lies in event planning and bringing people together. In the Iron Legions, she worked part-time at a popular tavern near the arena, where she organized celebrations for victorious fighters. These events were renowned for their lively atmosphere, with Kaori’s infectious cheerfulness making her a beloved figure in the community. Her ability to seamlessly transition between delicate enchantment work and lively party planning reflects her multifaceted personality.

​

Though Kaori has yet to join a guild, she dreams of finding her own path beyond the forge and the tavern. While she admires her sister’s strength and independence, Kaori is determined to carve out her own unique identity, one that blends her creative talents with her desire to support others.

Abilities

1. Enchantment Mastery
Kaori’s most notable skill is her proficiency in enchanting weapons and armor. She can imbue items with elemental properties such as fire, ice, or lightning, enhancing their durability, potency, and strength. Unlike her sister Hana, who focuses on combat and basic elemental enchantments, Kaori specializes in creating long-lasting and highly effective enhancements, making her work invaluable to any warrior.

​

Relationships

Tetsuhana (Hana)
Kaori shares a close but occasionally exasperating bond with her older sister, Hana. While Hana is fiercely protective of her, Kaori often wishes her sister would trust her capabilities more. She admires Hana’s strength and determination but also strives to prove that her own contributions, though different, are just as valuable.
