▌Chikaze
It was time for another festival where the villagers celebrated the oncoming fall season and visited all the local shrines. Villagers wore an assortment of masks of varying design, ate tasty foods, made offerings to the various kami, and participated in festival games and dances. The lit paper lanterns created a gentle luminescence at night and cast strange shadows. Chikaze loved festivals. She was a kitsune shrine guardian of a local luck kami. With so many people coming to the shrine she had little time to explore during the festival, but she would manage to sneak away every now and then for some fun. Her favorite thing was dropping her coin of luck and having a mortal pick it up and flip it. If they flipped the coin it would randomly bestow the mortal with good or bad luck; either outcome amused her. If she used the coin herself, it was a way to determine the type of luck a particular person was currently experiencing. Her current target had just been granted good luck and was excitedly winning one of the festival games causing the street vendor to worry. She snapped her fingers and the coin reappeared between her fingers; softly sparkling in the light of the lanterns. She would have continued her entertainment, but her kami was summoning her back to the shrine. With a dejected sigh she returned obediently.
