Background

Born Tomura Hakuro, Okami was to have a very privileged life. Okami's father, Tomura Shota, was a very wealthy lawyer, named partner at the Tomura and Tanaka Law Firm in Neotokyo. Her mother, Haoru, born an elf in the 2030s, had married Shota when they were both very young. Shota had graduated, and was in line to succeed his father at the law firm. Looking for a trophy wife to call his own, Haoru looked just elf enough to be exotic, but human enough to not stand out. Eager to start a family, in mid 2061, Haoru announced she was pregnant. Sadly, by the end of the year, word would come out that the poor couple had lost the baby,and Haoru would not be seen for months following, said to be grieving for the loss of her child.

In reality, April 2, 2062, Haoru gave birth to a happy, healthy… Freak of a baby girl…

When it was discovered, during ultrasound, that the expected baby had developed characteristics of SURGE, those being fox-like ears and a tail, Shota had originally been appalled, asking how to safely rid his wife of this creature. Haoru would hear none of it. She would keep her baby. It took much careful planning, and even more money to pay off the people involved. Doctors, staff, and many others would be paid to keep silent. There would be no mention and no sign of any baby… When she was older, they would concoct a story about how they adopted some less fortunate child as their own… But for the time being… She would be a secret… A ghost…

While Okami did grow up with all the benefits of a rich upbringing, including private mage tutors when her magic manifested during puberty, she was, for all intents and purposes, nonexistent. Often left with a nanny when her parents were away, living the expected life for a couple with no children, she grew up craving a real family, and acceptance for who and what she was. Her parents did, in fact, love her very much, and her father spoiled her endlessly, but it would seem a lot of that was to shush a child yearning for an outside life. Okami took to video games at an early age. Even though she could have any game money could buy, she was drawn to the old 5th world games and spent countless hours alone, playing and replaying whatever games she was given.

In 2071, the Tomura family announced once again, the coming of a baby, and in December, 2071, they would give birth to a very human, baby boy, who they would name Shuno. In the beginning, Okami was very excited about her little brother, and at a young age, they got along very well. Shuno, however, was told Okami was the child of the nanny, since he was not old enough to understand the consequences of referring to her as his sister. It was easy to convince him, what with Okami never being allowed on trips with the family, or to leave the confines of the property. Shortly after Okami's 16th birthday, (she had simply asked to be allowed to go on a trip off the property, but had been denied) the Tomura family announced that Shuno, their only child, would be heir to his father's company, and other holdings. It was the tipping point for Okami, to hear them refer to Shuno as their only child… She packed her bags and ran away as soon as night fell.

Having lived a life as a ghost, she found it easy to sneak past security, and decided to do the most rebellious thing she could think of… Join the Yakuza… Any literature she had read said they didn't allow women, or metahumans…. Her readings had been fairly outdated, and they didn’t fall for her disguise at all. In fact, they had laughed, finding the whole getup amusing. In the end, they’d let her in, and for the first time, she felt like she belonged, and over the next two years, she’d even made some very good friends.

Her parents sent messengers; people to plead with her to come home. Her mother had even shown up once, horrified by the “conditions” she lived in, and living with a boy no less! She tried to explain he was just a roommate, but her mother was hearing none of it and tried to drag her home. Her mother had been less than thrilled when her roommate, and friend, a tall human who went by the name Ritz, had picked the woman up and carried her from the apartment, placing her outside and shutting the door.

They were just shy of her 18th birthday, when things went South on a job. It had come down to a decision between the goods, or her friends. These friends had become like family to her. Real family. Something she couldn’t afford to lose again. Her decision had not gone over well with the Oyabun, and had she not shown loyalty, the repercussions of her failure would have been much worse… The punishment was expulsion from the Yakuza.

Following further rejection, Okami decided to leave Japan all together, catching a flight to the free world! The remainder of her savings went to a fake SIN and a plane ticket, leaving everything she knew behind.  Expecting to start a new life in Seattle, she quickly discovered that just because the city wasn’t as dense as Neo Tokyo, it wasn’t any more welcoming. In an unfamiliar city, without her family to turn to, Okami began her journey in the shadows to etch out a place of her own in the world.
