[Ella]

Name: Fuyuko Sohma
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Character Picture:


Physical Description
Although a mere 5'2", Fuyuko seems taller because of the way she holds herself. She is an albino Japanese woman of unusual beauty, however, it would not appear to be so unusual if one saw the rest of the members of her family clan. Very few people know that she and a select few members of her family are cursed to turn into specific animals of the zodiac. Those who do know that should any man but one of her fellow cursed cousins embrace her, she would turn into an albino snake. As a result of also being a snake, she has some qualities of the snake in both forms. The most important to keep in mind being her poisonous bite.

Personality
Because of the curse, Fuyuko avoids getting too close to men and is slow to trust others. She is known by some members of her family and others who she grew up with as the "Ice Queen" because of her cold attitude towards strangers and those she does not approve of, especially men. Being anti-social as a child, Fuyuko learned how to keep quiet so as to avoid attention. She is not shy, she just does not like being around people. In her world, those around her sometimes looked to her to lead them. She took such positions grudgingly and willingly shoved it off to others as soon as possible. The only time she ever willingly took on leadership, prior to coming to the Edge, was when she took over her aunt's reptile shop and veterinary clinic. She knows how to put her foot down and when it is time to stop just using words and start using force. The snake woman has a soft spot for reptiles, not just snakes, and has been known to rush to help one even if it meant dealing with people as well. She is also attracted to beautiful and elegant things, especially clothes, and despises cute things, such as "cute" nicknames. She likes all of her things to be clean and tidy, including herself.

Background
Although Fuyuko would not willingly share her background with others in the Edge, the cousin who came with her definitely would to a point. Their family had been cursed many generations previous by the Jade Emperor, who made selected members become hosts to the twelve spirits of the zodiac, plus the cat who was excluded from the actual zodiac. When a cursed member died, the spirit of the animal would be reborn into a new member of the family. The curse had been broken previously, but this enraged the god and he replaced it, tying the spirits in more with the hosts so that some of the animal qualities transferred over into their human form. (Such as the person cursed with the horse spirit being able to run much faster than any human ever could.)

The door to the Edge had revealed itself on their family estate, and although some of their cousins had investigated it, they had decided it was not something they should stay in. Unfortunately, it became their only option for survival when the secret of their curse was leaked and government officials, freaky scientists, and crazy religious nuts started trying to interfere with their lives. Fuyuko could not handle the stress and had attacked a government agent and a scientist when they had cornered her in her shop and tried to make her participate in some experiments. For her safety, the family decided she should go through the door and stay in the Edge. They already knew from previous visits that she could not stay there until things calmed down, because she would only come back to the same time and place, but this way, she could think of how to take care of the situation. They could always join her in the Edge if need-be.

Thus, Fuyuko entered the Edge, not for the first time, and struck a deal with Edelia. She would help the elf woman run the place in exchange for her room and board. Edelia also agreed to help find a way to end the curse for Fuyuko and her family and find a way to keep it from being replaced. Surely there were guests from somewhere who could remove it?

Fuyuko's hobbies include collecting and wearing beautiful and elegant clothing and taking care of reptiles brought into the Edge.
