Okari Tsukino Reference Sheet

Name: Okari Tsukino
Nickname: N/A
Sex: Female
Age: Teens to Mid Twenties as pictured
Species: Wolf/Japanese Akita Inu Mix
Physical Traits: Okari is a devastatingly beautiful woman, having inherited the long and graceful limbs from her father's lupine heritage and the sharp features of her mother's akita inu lines. She is athletic but not overly muscled, and her body boasts mainly of speed and grace. Her eyes are a piercing gold.

Personality Traits: During childhood and maiko training, Okari was a kind-hearted but independent sort of girl. As she attempted to follow in her mother's footsteps to become a geisha, she hid her headstrong nature behind the demure grace of a maiko. After tragedy strikes her family, leaving her alone in the world, she picks up her father's sword and starts to walk down a dark and bloody path. During those years, she is withdrawn and stoic, often killing with little to no empathy. As she ages though and finds that the answers she seeks aren't to be found simply in revenge, she becomes a dutiful and noble young lady and strives to restore her house to its former glory.



It was about time to update Okari's reference as the old one was burning my retinas. She's changed a bit in design. Made her look a bit more Japanese Akita in the face because, well, I gotz enuff woofs. For those of you who might be really confused right now, yes, she still exists in the Star Wars universe as well because I'm lazy and I recycle my characters with hippie level fervor, but Okari's original incarnation was that of a ronin in feudal Japan.
