Kit (Kitsune) Marshall?
Kit (Kitsune) Marshall? (a.k.a. The Messenger, Little Fox, Hoodie, The Kid)
A hooded teen, easily overlooked.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Kit completed a magical Glow-up shortly after making a strong connection with Katuri. They became more solidified and have matured into what appears to be a 17 year old teen.
Identifying Characteristics
It's still difficult for sleepers to identify Kit as there is always the mist that keeps their features from truly forming in their minds.
Special abilities
Kitsune is the essence of a true Firefox, Messenger of Inari. They have a particular fondness for a modern Cyber Ninja flow as it allows them to move through the city seamlessly.
Apparel & Accessories
Kit has been experimenting with how to express themselves through clothing, crossing gender lines and playing with "moods" for different occasions.
Specialized Equipment
When they unleash Kitsune, they dress in all black and become shadow. Black, urban techwear, compete with their utility backpack they bring nearly everywhere with them.
Mental characteristics
Gender Identity
Kit identifies as non-binary, gender fluid, and sometimes demi-boi
Sexuality
Kit is a curious spirit and has no preference at all when it comes to expressing love.
Education
Kit is currently a student at the Academy, PS 192. They recently chose to leave behind a natural science track in pursuit of computer sciences. Kit is not a member of the prestigious Leadership Program, but the less desirable OC's (outcasts) every public school must maintain as part of a "fairness" agreement.
Employment
Kit is a messenger for Naga/Nadia's apothecary and has been known to take side jobs for Dee LaStrange. Since Naga/Nadia's dissapperance, Kit has taken up food delivery at YUMM to make extra cash.
Accomplishments & Achievements
-Kit infiltrated the Beasts and helped to expose Bear's dangerous plot to release the ancient Horned God.
-In the aftermath of Deamons at Crossend, Kit helped to create a safe haven, The Brewery, for the misused and abused Beasts.
-Along side Eugenia Excalibur, Dee LaStrange, Francis Burke, and Mora, Kit helped to slay Nidhogr the Destroyer and put an end to the coming Calamity.
Failures & Embarrassments
-Kit's animosity toward the Kissas clouded their better judgement and brought them face to face with Eath Kissa's angry eyes. The teen was promptly disposed of, out a third story window, and onto the lawn of the Akhet Tea House. Eugenia Excalibur witnessed the event and made sure it was the proper learning moment for her intern.
-In another moment with their mentor, Eugenia Excalibur took time to supply Kit with all the necessary items a newly awakened teen would need to navigate their sexuality safely.
Mental Trauma
Kit had an "accident" but doesn't remember life before their time with the mysterious woman named Naga/Nadia. They remember the story that the Mist tried to put in place but a blank memory, with little basic knowledge, is all they have to navigate the elaborate city.
Intellectual Characteristics
The Kitsune spirit living within is a highly intelligent creature who can adapt to most situations. If the human can stay focused long enough, they can benefit from these abilities.
Morality & Philosophy
Figuring out what is right and wrong has been a challenging task for Kit when the rules seem to change from one place to another. Kit's keen eyes watch those around them and they are often compelled by the will of the powerful mythos within.
Taboos
-Kit will not tolerate nonconsensual behavior in others but struggles with their own dubious hypnotic powers.
-Kit doesn’t want to hurt anyone, but sometimes their Mythos wants justice or even vengeance.
Personality Characteristics
Personality Quirks
Kit appears or disappears seemingly from nowhere.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Naga/Nadia- Mentor,
Thea Marshall - Legal Gauardian,
Ravyn (Morty Applebaum)- Bestie,
Katuri Ikeda- Bae,
The Beasts- Squad
Family Ties
Kit has no Known genetic relatives and no memory of their life before the accident. There's an intangible bond with Naga/Nadia who saved their life. Kit feels this strong connection as both an obligation and love for the older woman.
Thea Marshall is their legal guardian, however the Mist compels most to believe she is their aunt.
Religious Views
The stars have always called to Kit in a way they can't quite explain but they know there is warmth and comfort and love that comes from them. Kit believes in Love and the power to change, two things that have had the greatest impact on their short life. They feel compelled to share these emotions that build up within with the humans they meet.
Kit has no religious ties but is curious about beliefs and often watches how people worship.
Social Aptitude
Kit is quiet and unseen. People often confuse them with someone else or forget their name. At school, Kit is the awkward kid most overlook. A select few have seen flashes of Kit's true self. These moments are fleeting and overshadowed by the powerful presence that lives within them. The more time Kit spends with Katuri, the more Kit feels their own will emerge.
Kit tries hard to fit in with the people they care about but the Mythos has their own will.
Relationships
History
Kit fell hard for Katuri... and eventually, Kat did too.
Nicknames & Petnames
Bae
Wealth & Financial state
Kit doesn't feel they deserve the good fortune they've found with Thea. They take jobs to earn money to pay for anything that isn't a basic need. They "payback" Thea for anything that seems frivolous. Thea insisted they keep their money, but the money is always found tucked back in her wallet.
Kit or Kitsune, they’re one and the same. With no memory of a human life, and only their Mythos to guide them, Kit has learned how to navigate the City in unique ways and sees the world as an endless playground to explore.

it's time to show Kat what's possible. poor kid has only had things happen TO him, not happen FOR him. he needs to see there there's another way. he's scared and stressed because he doesn't see the good that's out there. his mom's thinking something bad is destined for him. i don't know if he's aware of that or not but it's there.
i don't believe in "destiny"
it just sounds like an excuse to not try
you can always change your luck and there's always a choice
he's got so much light and good in him. he told me he wants to write, tell stories
i think that's a first. something he wants for himself.
it's time for him to start making his own choices
i told him the story about the dude with two pills. he was scared and wanted to hide until i showed him there was another way. he embraced it without hesitation
he wants to see the good and feel that sense of adventure
i can help him reach that and show him so much more
i brought him to the boardwalk where the Mist is always thin. his whole being was lit from the inside out
but it still faded at the end of the night
he's not there yet, but it's close
and i'll be here to guide him when it does
Season 2: Tuesday Montage
The shock of seeing Ms. Ex in such a state of…vulnerability was a little too much for the young hero. As the crew begins the process of sorting out details from the warehouse and lab, one turns to ask the teen a question… but they are already gone. The camera shifts outward to the wooded area on the outskirts of the estate as a neon blue, fox bounds out of sight.
The next scene shows us the crowded hallways of PS 192 as students merge into the ebb and flow of morning ritual. We focus on a wide shot of a corridor filled with teens funneling toward their destinations. And that’s when we see a figure, surrounded by a colorful aura, as they move down the center of the hallway. The Students slide and jolt in different directions without warning and then continue on forgetting to express outrage or offense at the disruption. It’s almost as if the aura itself is pushing the students out of the way, while keeping the figure in the center obscured.
Play “I Melt With You”
Katuri Ikeda shuts his locker door and turns as the aura reaches him… and dissipates. We see Kit looking slightly dazed with fresh scrapes and bruises on their hands and face, but a look of recognition and warmth replaces their confusion, along with adoration and young love. After a moment of concern and reassurances, the pair move on the next obstacle. The Ikeda family and namely, Mama Kat.
Show Moodboard
Kit knows that the last few visits haven’t gone quite as smoothly as they would like and turns to their boyfriend for guidance on how to win his family over. Now we see a series of shots with Katuri sending ideas and advice via DMs, memes, and relevant ticktoks. We see Kit’s responses as they try really hard to catch on to the most important points and not really getting it. And when they meet for their scheduled tutoring session, Katuri comes equipped with flashcards while Kit eagerly takes notes with colored coordinated pens and highlighters. By the time school lets out, Kit is feeling much more confident that they’ll be able to navigate the elusive Ikeda world. They pull on their bright, neon orange, Yumm uniform and promise to stop by after work while Katuri heads off to practice.
The camera shows Kit smiling as their boyfriend departs and then is seen walking down the center of a street into the neighborhoods of South Side. A shroud of vivid color blooms back to life, obscuring Kit once again as they head out into the City.
Season 2: Post Wedding Downtime Montage
November 25
Kit didn’t know their hypnotic ability was missing until they answered another Yum order and came face to face with a Karen. Kit’s magic is pretty good at handling Karens so when they suggested that this was going to be the best meal she’d had in a long time, she just got mad, slammed the door in Kit’s face, called the manager and gave them the worst review ever.
Kit’s had abilities go missing before so when it does they know its good to go back to the place where it first showed up. This one happened downtown, in a place kind of like Time Square. A bustling center of entertainment and bright lights, where the lines of reality and illusion are blurred.
So when Kit saw an enchanting street magician, capturing an audience of passer-bys and a small, shadowy figure moving silently between them, Kit knew exactly what the illusion wanted you to see and what was really going down. The performance cycled several times over until the square cleared and the magician was distracted in conversation with a pretty purse vender. That’s when Kit struck up casual conversation with the shadowy assistant; a boy scarily older than Toma.
Kit couldn’t help but see the parallels between the kid and magician and themselves and Naga.
Then Kit looked the kid in the eyes with compassion and honesty and said, “Ya know, you don’t have to do what he tells you. You can find your own path.” The kid seemed skeptical at first but when Kit showed how magic could bring genuine happiness to others, a smile spread across the boy’s young face. In a wave of excitement, the boy embraced Kit and they felt the Hypnotic Trance flare back to life.
It wasn’t until a moment later that Kit had a sinking feeling that they’d been staring off at nothing. They looked around quickly and saw the boy leading the magician away with a sly smile. “Thanks for the advice, kid, but I think i got this.” Kit felt a mixture of annoyance and admiration at the realization that THEY’d been played by a baby. And another wave of annoyance as they searched their pockets and came up empty.
Well, at least the magic was back.
