Personality
Despite having a perma-scowl on her face that makes her always look angry, Xue can be described as being very grounded and easy to talk to. There's no mincing words with Xuegah and she will always give her opinion, even if others might find it mean. This doesn't mean she won't consider other people's feelings, she just finds it difficult choosing the right words from time to time. Once a person gets past the rough looks and unintentional glares, they'll come to find a forest cat that's actually pretty friendly! While she can be secretive at times or really vague on some topics, she is often an open book and welcomes conversation with people. Xue can be quite protective when it comes to those she cares for, some times to a point where it could seem overbearing, but she knows when to take a step back (with reluctance). When everything seems tough and it looks like there's no end, you can always count on Xue to be there to pick you up and carry you!
RP Hooks
Tribal Cat:Having spent her entire life in a tribe has given her very deeply-rooted spiritual beliefs and a great sense of intuition. Despite her isolated upbringing, she is not entirely ignorant and is often open to share in new experiences. Perhaps you've seen her somewhere in the Shroud?The Warden's Grace:
Often times when Xue isn't off doing whatever it is she does in her free time, she can be found working at a goldsmith's shop called The Warden's Grace. With her dedication to learning the art of goldsmithing (almost to the point where one would deem it obssesive), Xue has become quite the craftswoman. Just be careful, this goldsmith's silver tongue could end up being the reason why your funds have gotten so low!Who're you gonna call?:
Xuegah was born with an innate ability to see ghosts and spirits, though she will very often pretend not to see them. Not because they scare her or anything! They just annoy her with their unfinished business once they realize that she can see them. Do you happen to have a ghost problem? Because Xue will very likely deny her ability to see them.Master of the Hunt:
From a young age, Xuegah achieved the title of Huntmaster in her tribe. There's no creature that can escape her nor any animal she hasn't hunted. However, this was never done for sport as she has firm beliefs when it comes to the sacred nature of the Hunt itself. Despite her separation from her tribe, she still has the heart of a hunter and itches for the next opportunity to track prey. She also enjoys teaching others how to hunt, though her methods might be... Interesting.What's that smell?:
One of Xuegah's small pleasures in life is slaving over a hot stove or a campfire. She has a strong passion for the culinary arts and thoroughly enjoys making food for others, especially if they're hungry. If something smells good coming from the kitchen, you can guarantee Xue has a plate ready for you to enjoy.Pspspspsps:
After having spent almost all of her life deep within the Shroud and surrounded by natural wildlife, Xue has somehow achieved a natural affinity for animals. While she may not be able to tame a wild beast, she can at least figure out how to appease the creature before backing off. While some of the more domesticated animals tend to naturally gravitate towards her, she recently has discovered that Yokai tend to be at ease in her presence.Secret Secret, I Got A Secret:
One of the first things some may notice about Xuegah is that she is always working some sort of odd job in the background. Delivering parcels, pest control, waste disposal, she's always heading off somewhere to take care of something. What could it be that always has her running off to another place to perform some sort of mundane task? Surely it's nothing serious, you're just reading too much into things! Clearly she just enjoys keeping herself busy, that's all... Right?

About
Toasted Marshmallow, aka Toma, was among many stray animals living off of charity and scavenging on the streets of Kugane as a pup, often getting into the kind of mischief one expects from stray animals living their lives. This all changed when a particular miqo'te woman spotted him lurking in a back alley and gave him half of her lunch. While this wasn't any different from most situations where a kind individual fed the 'nice doggy', there was just something about this person that drew him to her. She didn't seem to mind him following her around, most others would shoo him away after a bit, but this woman seemed... Different. As he followed this woman around while she went about her day, there were moments where she would check on him or even talked to him.The moment when these two became inseparable came when this woman cut through an alley and her path was blocked by a couple of local thugs. Toma knew the scent of these men, they were bad people and now they were here to do bad things to this nice person that treated him more than just a simple mutt on the streets! No, he couldn't let these bad guys throw things or kick this woman like how they did to him and others that roamed through here, he had to protect this person. Just as the woman began reaching under the back of her shirt for something, Toma would charge forward with the most ferocious and terrifying snarl he ever let out and began attacking the men, biting and tearing into whatever his teeth sank into. Despite his courage, however, he would see one of the men raise a club to bring down on the protective pooch and braced himself for the pain to soon arrive. Much to his surprise, the woman would snatch the club from the bad man's hand and began beating the bad man with it instead! For the first time in this dog's days, it was he who was being protected.When the bad men were left laying on the ground in a crumpled heap, the woman would introduce herself as Xue and offered the pooch a place by her side. Not as a pet, but rather a companion; a friend. Letting out a happy bark as he pranced in place to show his joy and acceptance of the offer, he was soon taken to his new home and given the name Toasted Marshmallow, named after his soft coat reminding Xue of a toasted marshmallow over a campfire. As long as they were by each other's side, they would either fight the Twelve or become one of them!
