Bio And Lore: Willow is *a half-spirit, half wolf hybrid born a warrior princess to a tribe of deity worshipping warriors known as the, “Whisper Wolves.” Personally trained tribesmen that have partnered alongside their world’s spirits known as the “Entity” to keep the peace around their inhabited forest.

The Entity are essentially the angels of their world, Arceus. Looking over the different areas of the world maintaining order over the weather, climate, and civilizations as deities. They are products of Arceus’s primordial energy source, “Elecrama” and have the ability to control the elements. This makes Willow sort of a Demi-god to those who recognize her. She doesn’t particularly like the fame, but does enjoy whenever people compliment or “worship” how she looks (mainly via statues that depending on the artist is either flattering or embarrassing.

As a child, she was raised by her tribal chieftain father who kept the tradition of maintaining a partnership with The Entity teaching the first leaders of the Whisper Wolves that “all people are just life and all exist as just one entity.” This means that to the Entity who can be whatever they choose to be, the Entity see mortals as just equal level beings.

This lead to leaders taking a philosophical and diplomatic approach to their lives and established their teachings of youth by essentially not having designated gender role jobs and giving life skills training to every member such as weapons training, cooking, knitting, medical training, etc.

But, one day, Willow’s tribe was mysteriously destroyed and she woke up alone, distraught and traumatized by the site of her ruined home.
Only for the leading organization of the forest, The Watchers to find her, take her into their home to train her, and is where Willow met her tiger step sister, Li Hua.

As a result of the event, she was depressed for a time until she was introduced to artwork, video games, manga, reading in the libraries, and training in traditional arts of a samurai (hence the kimono) to continue protecting the forest for her father, newfound family, and making sure no one has to endure the same pain she went through.
