Tana Okina

I don't wanna think of how easy things were back then.

-- Tana Okina

A Tanuki from the Okina Family, Tana Okina struggles to find her place in both her family and daily life. She's energetic, peppy, very curious and fairly dedicated to her studies trying to tackle her day to day with her 100% dedication while trying to fit in as best she can. This being the reason she keeps trying to learn new things and gain more and more talents.

Her current form is actually not her true form, as she can't keep it permanently, so she switches back whenever she goes to sleep or when she's alone.

Backstory

Tanaka was born a part of the Okina clan of tanuki, racoon dogs that eat the leaves of a magical tree to gain intelligence and magical ability. The Okina clan slowly modernized and adapted to current society by disguising as humans and eventually being almost impossible to spot in a crowd.

Tana particularly, while a prodigy at the clan's transformation magic, is currently trying her best to finish her studies. She has a specific desire to make friends her age that she feels would still like her even if they knew her true form.

The Okina clan has always had a good relationship with the Okagami Shrine, so Tana has known Shiori since they were kids, still being best friends to this day.

Tana is mostly known around her hometown due to her father, who is a huge CEO and a heavy traditionalist.

Personality

A dedicated worrywart, who finds herself driven to try all she can. She's usually peppy and energetic, but that's mostly a front she puts to fit in with others, she's actually a self aware overthinker who wishes to fit in and be part of something.

She is a pushover and submits easily to social pressure, believing she always has to make herself useful somehow.
