Description
"Halt, intruder! By the eternal mandate put in place by the Tenkitsune Tasokare and the duty of the Kageyuki clan, I, Fuyumori Shiroki, daughter of gatekeeper Fuymori Kumoki, will bar thee progress through this sacred gateway! Identify thyself!""Oh, formidable gatekeeper! I, Kazegami Narimoto of the Raiun, clan humbly request passage to the Kageyuki village in order to forge a treaty with this legendary clan."
"SHIROKI! Are you harassing guests again?!"
...
"Please excuse my daughter, she is far too excited about carrying on the gatekeeper legacy..."
"Not at all, I admire her spirit! How old is she?"
"Five, as of March."
"... She's going to make some kitsune either very happy or incredibly miserable one day."
Alright, so twisted my arm into making this
It's a scene from Shiroki's childhood and it's meant to shed a bit of light on her past and the state of politics of the kitsune villages. And it's to show that her tendency to monologue is something she was born with

As I have said on discord, this is just GLORIOUS X3
It is exactly what I expected from this encounter, though I would love to see how she would react to this situation happening in the future. I would love to see how she reacts to her being stopped by another little kit X3

Thankies! ^^
Oh... OH... ooooh... I can not think of a way she will react, in fact, I don't think she'll react at all! Her mind might be so incapable of processing it that she might just have to reboot XD XD
Or maybe she will respect the determination and not play along, but actually treat the kit as an authoritative figure...

It is not something one simply learns. One has to be born with a scowling face and start monologueing before they can actually talk. And as for her cuteness... she considers it a curse, something that waters down her ability to intimidate foes (and the fact that she's a good head shorter than nearly everyone doesn't help either

Ah that’s true practice makes perfect after all
Also that could work to her advantage should an opponent underestimate her

Oh, it does work to her advantage, but it infuriates her to no end that she is always underestimated XP

She looks like the kids I was terrified of in Preschool, genuinely feeling intimidated right now (in a good way ofc)

It's hey it's. awesome, young and already full of spirit and sworn to protect the gate from intruders, I like it, it also fits her personality, it can be seen back when she's grown up.
And the ink drawing looks really nice, it might not be what you mostly go for but nice

Thanx! :3
Yup, petulant and feisty from the start. And born to monologue XD
Aw, thank you. I'm kinda out of practice making drawings with just ink though

you're welcome, keep it up, It's interesting if you keep on making ink drawings like it, it has a nice touch to it. you might be out of practice but just a few more tried and your back on track again.

Nah, the sword's pretty standard size. She's just tiny, even for a five year old XD

Oh! That makes sense then!

Ah, a truly worthy carrier of the gatekeeper legacy
If she shows such an attitude at an early age, how will she be in the future?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Put it like this... Her attitude did not exactly mellow out and her ability to actually lift weapons didn't exactly diminish as she aged.
I.e. she's pretty much a terror XD
Edit: In fact, here she is later in life:
