Karin #232451

Karin was born with a unique ability to communicate with spirits. People feared her for having such an unusual ability, which was unfamiliar to them and unlike magic. Her father insisted that Karin was cursed and abandoned her and her mother in the middle of the night. Karin's mother raised Karin by herself and decided to leave the village with Karin as she couldn't withstand the hostility of the villagers anymore. In another village they stopped by during their trip, Karin found a mystical fox and found herself in a forest after following the fox while her mother was shopping for things. Karin had fun with the fox in the woods while Karin's mother searched for Karin in the woods and was unfortunately killed by a beast. Karin was now alone and wandered the continent with the fox. After some time, she caught the eye of Jinai, who was helping wandering orphans. Jinai was thinking of growing Shirosaku larger so that it no longer had to be a secret organization of the Toho Clan, and believed that Karin's ability to communicate with spirits could be of great assistance. As such, he adopted Karin as a pupil. Eventually, she appointed Karin as her successor. Some people opposed Karin becoming the leader due to her being an outsider. However, most members trusted Jinai's decision and liked Karin's nature. Karin helped Jinai run Shirosaku at first, but is now leading the organization with a focus on balance and harmony after the new leader after Jinai retired.
