Tomura Shota, was a very wealthy lawyer, and named partner at the Tomura and Tanaka Law Firm in Neotokyo. 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. In no rush to start a family, they had a happy, privileged marriage for the next ten years or so, until the arrival of Haley’s Comet flipped their relationship on its head.  
The Tomura Family are old money. The men of the family had been investors for many generations. They had had a lot of luck in the companies they invested in (Including stock in Yamatetsu Corporation before it became EVO), and the family was very well off.  






Growing up in Japan, Haoru had always been the one to face prejudice, but that would quickly become the opposite when the SURGE hit Shota. The change had been rather fitting, for a man born and raised in Japan, as many described the likeness to that of a Kitsune, with a long tail and pointed ears. It had landed Shota in the hospital for many weeks, where he had insisted they be removed. There was no way he could run the firm as a changeling...
Tomura Shota had inherited the Tomura family wealth when his  father had passed a few years before, and he was eager for a son to pass everything on to. Haoru, born an elf in the 2030s, had married Shota when they were both very young. Looking for a trophy wife to call his own, Haoru looked just elf enough to be exotic, but human enough to not stand out. Everything seemed like it was going to be perfect, until the arrival of Haley’s Comet flipped their relationship on its head.  






The firm was told he was taking an extended vacation. Something to do with Haoru’s health…  Only the next few months, he underwent a dozen surgeries to make himself look human again. Haoru did not fully support his decision, but stuck with him the whole time. When it was all said and done, Shota became paranoid about his position in the firm, and in his marriage. He thought securing an heir would be the perfect way to keep everything the way it was.

The change had been rather fitting, for a man born and raised in Japan, as many described the likeness to that of a Kitsune, with a long tail and pointed ears. It had landed Shota in the hospital for many weeks, where he had insisted they be removed. He only attempted that once… Going through the pain of it growing back a second time was enough.  






In mid 2062, 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 1, 2063, Haoru gave birth to a happy, healthy… Freak of a baby girl… Tomura Hakuro
Everyone was told he was taking an extended vacation. Something to do with Haoru’s health…  Only the next few months, he underwent a dozen surgeries to make himself look human again. (Even though they ultimately failed) Haoru did not fully support his decision, but stuck with him the whole time. When it was all said and done, Shota became paranoid about his position in life, and in his marriage. He thought securing an heir would be the perfect way to keep everything the way it was.






When it was discovered, during ultrasound, that the expected baby had developed the same fox-like ears and tail her father had developed, Shota had originally insisted the pregnancy be terminated. He could not have a child like that around as possible proof of what he had become.

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… When Shota had tried to have the same surgeries for his daughter to make her look “normal”, Haoru had refused. She would not put her little girl through that agony.

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 law firm, 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.

Leaving her family for the first time, she had wanted to rebel! Dying her hair, getting tattoos, and staying up all night eating awful food just didn’t seem like enough… She wanted to go big… She’d spent a lot of time reading and learning about the Japan she never got to see, and she then decided she wanted to join the Yakuza! Clearly, this would be the ultimate act of rebellion once her family found out, but… It had proved to be a lot harder than she had anticipated. Everywhere she went, they had turned their nose up at her. Not only was she a woman, but also a changeling, and most couldn’t seem to decide which was worse. Refusing to give up and sulk back to her home, it took her months to find the Inagawa-kai, the one clan in Japan willing to accept her for what she is.

Accept was a loose term… They allowed her in, but she was still a changeling, and still very much a woman, giving her only the most menial of work. Her parents tried to convince her several times to come home, but she was tired of hiding. At least here, she could be herself.  
It still took her some time to get everything in order, trading off expensive items she’d been bought, to the one of the shadier servants in exchange from a fake SIN and a plane ticket. She’d heard America was nice this time of year? Really, she’d heard nothing. She was at a total loss. She’d never left the property. But go big or… stay home…  By the end of the month, she was on a plane to Seattle. Nothing like a giant airport, in a country where you can just barely speak the language to set your nerves straight. She had just managed to gather her bag, a task that had taken her nearly an hour to figure out with her limited English skills and she turned and bumped into the back of a giant of a man. Stepping back, and bowing in apology, the troll turned and looked at her with a grin.  


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 continued to send 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.
“Puppy!” He exclaimed, loudly.


What did that mean? Puppy? Like a dog?? Why hadn’t that come up in her attempt to learn English over the last month?! She had no time to consider before she was picked up like a sack of rice and thrown over the man's shoulder. It was then she noticed a few odd things about the troll. He has scales, and features that resembled more of a lizard than a troll. No amount of kicking or screaming seemed to deter him. The other people in the airport actually seemed to move AWAY from the screaming! The troll headed out of the building, and before she knew it, they were on a motorcycle, headed down a highway to who knows where!




They were just shy of her 18th birthday, and it was another slow shift, guarding a laundromat she was often tasked with watching over. She was sitting on a folding chair on the roof, next to Ritz, watching the area. At least he made for good conversation... There was a meeting happening tonight with a few of the shateigashira, and they were two of the four people on guard duty. Nothing ever happened, and it was probably just an excuse to sit around and drink, while playing cards, but she'd never been allowed in the room to know for sure. She was watching the astral, keeping an eye out for spirits that didn't belong, as unlikely as that may be, when she noticed something. A watcher spirit was nearby, looking around. She began calling it in, when Ritz went down convulsing from a stick and shock round in his neck. Impulse took over, and she ducked under the ledge to make sure he was alright, and not get shot herself. He was out like a short circuit and then the shooting started.


The building rumbled as an Ares roadmaster rammed through the front door. In her panicking, she was caught off guard as a huge air spirit materialized and started engulfing her to choke her into unconsciousness. She managed to dispel the spirit, and as she was catching her breath, she looked over the roofs ledge to see the van outside and a troll in swat gear loading the unconscious Shateigashira’s into the back. She cast a combat spell and hit the troll, making him wince, as he was not as prepared for a magical attack.  
As it turns out, the troll, known as Big B,  was a fellow SURGEling, and a member of the go-gang, The Menagerie. He was also a bit dimwitted, and she would later find out, he’d thought this is where she had belonged. It’s not kidnapping if they have nowhere to go, right? But she had, in fact, stayed. Being with other SURGEd had made her feel welcome, even if she didn’t understand what was going on most of the time. They had been fine with her performing menial work for the first while, until she got her feet under her. After that, they taught her to ride a bike, and how to slap humanis in the face, and graffiti their houses. She learned quickly that they had a real bone to pick with those people. The gang was a bit fast paced for her liking, but it had felt like home for a while.  


Going down to one knee, he screamed “Thought you had the mage, Nyx!”, presumably to another team mate, “Y'all better geek her before you have to carry me out!”


That's when she felt a hard thud as a gel round smacked her in the forehead, knocking her out.


Recent tension between the leaders, Flash Wolf and Boss Hogg, were what gave Okami the final push to see herself out. She’d heard of a group of people, Shadowrunners,  who took the jobs they wanted, when they wanted, and she wanted that freedom. It would be tough, and she would be along again, but maybe it would be just what she was looking for...




She awoke in a safe house medical center. She was surprised to see that the people hadn’t killed anyone, and the other 2 guards, and Ritz, Lay in beds nearby. She’d heard about different punishments they used in the clan for failed jobs, but she’d never seen any in person. Most of her jobs were too pointless to even have the option of failure. She was surprised to see the Oyabun himself, Michizane Oi, present to dole out punishments, but never found out why. Each in turn was given the option: yubitsume, or exile.
}}
 
When he had finally turned to her, he had said “You should have warned them. Your one job was to watch. Leave. Come back with the head of the man who has wronged us, or don’t come back at all.”
 
 
 
Maybe this was just a plan to get her out of their hair, or maybe they really intended for her to find the troll… Either way, she took what little information they had on the team that attacked the laundromat, bought a fake SIN and a plane ticket, and headed off on her journey to America. She wasn't sure if she was expecting to start a new in Seattle, but 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.}}

The Tomura Family are old money. The men of the family had been investors for many generations. They had had a lot of luck in the companies they invested in (Including stock in Yamatetsu Corporation before it became EVO), and the family was very well off.
