#the protector

If for some reason the cops brake into my house it's filled with so many little baggies. But look these and my legos I get it.

This is a yokai beyond ages. He's existed for far longer than they've all been around, so say the rumours. Others say he came out of nowhere; one day he wasn't there and the next he was.

Despite his reclusive appearance and attitude, he actually loves to connect with people. Even so, they don't want to connect with him. So he found the connection in creatures instead.

He found friends in Cinnamon, Freckle, and Polka after they entered his house for refuge from hunters. He made his home a refuge for any Dokuza that happened upon it, and put it upon himself to make sure that they find someone they feel safe around. He's always excited when a new face comes by to take one of the Dokuza home!

His worst enemies are hunters looking to take his friends away from him. They gave him the nickname 'The Protector' to mock him, but it eventually stuck and he calls himself that now.

His home exists in a space that allows him to operate both above and below ground, which works in his favor when he found a new species of friends. Henceforth, he adopts Micilinies and Dokuza out to beings he deems safe for them.

These little mice are... related to Dokuzas in a way. The forest snakes developed a taste for them, and ended up chasing them from their home, which is how both were introduced into the yokai society of the Hidden City.

The mice were adored by the yokai, whereas the snakes were sought after for mystics. Micilinies became beloved pets by many, leading them to end up being sold at high prices.

Desperate yokai occasionally steal these pets in order to resell them for even more. Before anyone knew it, Micilinies were being stolen left and right, some never to be seen by their owners again.

Thus, some mice were released into human society. Since not very many people had interest in them like in the Hidden City, other than some beauty place/pet show owners, they were mostly left to the streets. Or sewers.

Micilinies are very, very fluffy creatures. Despite that, their fur is practically untouchable. It never gets dirty or wet no matter what they get into, which makes baths unnecessary but a pain.

Their genders aren't always obvious. Most of the time, Micilinies have no gender, but occasionally it will be displayed through a small blue or pink pin on their fluff given by The Protector.
