Personality

Think like a fox: a trickster, playful and mischeavous with an actual mean streak. The mean streak is mostly unintentional; they juse have a slightly different, more self-centered set of morals than humans. Manipulative and cunning, they like to be the smartest person in the room and get very anxious when they aren't. They're also easily wounded by percieved slights and prone to dramatically lamenting about it. Ironically, they are fiercely loyal to their significant other (foxes mate for life!) and their accidentally adopted kid.

History

Tamaki's origin is a small Japanese village near Nagoya, during the Muromachi Era. They earned their fifth tail about 200 years later and have been living various human lives since then, leeching off the lifeforce of whoever they get attached to at the time and lamenting their long string of failed relationships. As they can only get married during a sun shower, they have limited chances.

Relationships

Ad
despite their Meet Cute being "Ad kills Tamaki for lunch," Tamaki was able to worm their way into Ad's heart and then chase them into a relationship with Ad being oblivious the entire time. East Meets West Movie Monsters, Disaster Cannibals.
Kiba
Accidentally adopted him by virtue of them both being supernatural creatures that need blood or spirit energy and both being Japanese.
Elis, Victor, Nuan
Allies, but they are all too straight-laced.
Rex
Tamaki things Rex is hilarious but also, she makes them sneeze.
Feng
Tasty and willing snack.
Malror
They're scared of him because they know he's smarter/stronger than them and so it's possible for him to influence Ad and Kiba.
