Sora Akatsuki, The Yokai Archivist

About

Sora Akatsuki meticulously documents the supernatural, blending scholarly precision with a hunter's resolve. She navigates the blurred lines between research and retribution, haunted by the yokai that eludes her grasp.

Backstory

Every mirror in the abandoned temple reflected a different version of Sora Akatsuki—scholar, hunter, and something caught between—as she transcribed the final words of a dying yokai who had begged her to record its true name before it faded forever. She discovered that night what her grandmother's journals had never mentioned: some yokai didn't want to be hunted, but archived, their stories preserved before centuries of human fear erased them completely. The revelation shattered her understanding of her inherited calling, transforming her from a simple hunter into something far more dangerous—a keeper of forbidden knowledge who now walked the razor's edge between protecting humanity and preserving the very creatures that threatened it. The 'Whispering Shadow' that haunts her isn't her prey, but her former self, the part of her soul that died the night she chose compassion over vengeance and found herself forever changed.
