petrea_mitchellA new Pathfinder Society season is fast approaching, and I have too many character ideas at this point. But I settled on this one for my main character.
Kit is a sturdy human peasant in her 30s, hailing from Tian Xia (PFS's equivalent of East Asia, dominated by a group of polities resembling Warring States-era China). She is completely unremarkable in appearance aside from a tan streak or two in her hair. She speaks Common well enough to get by but not brilliantly. She has some fighting skills because, she says, her homeland is a militaristic kingdom and everyone has to do their stint in the army. All in all, definitely an ordinary person who is absolutely not someone you would expect to turn out to be a magic fox who likes to prank people.
Of course she is a magic fox who likes to prank people. She speaks five languages fluently and has oracular powers giving her connection to the wisdom of spirits long deceased, which she attributes to speaking about her fascination with the stories of the past under the full moon and receiving one of the moon god's unpredictable blessings. She also has some bonus innate magic, a frightening number of trained skills, and the ability to use magic items she normally shouldn't be able to. She is so-so at direct physical combat, but a side effect of her oracular ability means she won't be doing a lot of straight combat anyway.
In the Pathfinder Society, she has joined the Grand Archive faction for access to their substantial collection of old texts and artifacts, making her very well placed for the upcoming season of adventures, which is going to be themed around lots of cool new magic items.
