Education- due to her true age, Mitsu has learned many things over the centuries she has lived, likes to learn new things. Not so great with the new technologies of the modern world, so she is a bit slow in some aspects regarding new technology.
Need/purpose- Mitsu has the occasional desire to leave the shrine and see what’s going on in the current world.
Idiosyncrasies- her fox characteristics show up at times, and are often more noticeable depending on how she’s feeling, ex. Ears/tails popping up in fright or surprise.
Weaknesses- due to the nature of her magic which is fire, she is somewhat weak against water, though she is capable of handling other magic and elements. Because snakes are one of the natural enemies of foxes, she detests common snakes and has a slight fear of them but mostly considers them as pests, though demon snakes are a different story. Tends to run away from her problems when things get rough and is sometimes afraid of unfamiliar things. Can be easily bribed with tofu products and money.

Stereotype/Archetype-has the stereotypical feelings most people have regarding emotions.
Obstacles- maintaining the form of a human using the disguise of the woman who was originally intended to marry the main male character. Preventing her husband and surrounding people from finding out her true form for a few decades. Also her confusion and inability to realize her eventual feelings for the man she marries.
Values-
Sense of humour- likes to play pranks on others, mostly because it’s in her nature, though it sometimes backfires on her.
Fears- fears all enemies of the common fox who are spiritual beings, otherwise has no big fear over the common animals. Also is uncomfortable with having unknown/unfamiliar feelings that she has no control over.

Flaws- sometimes doesn’t look into the future enough, and rushes straight ahead without much thought
