#1st Dan — Vessel of Inari

#Scent

A young shrine maiden of an Inari shrine in the mountains. She has no real name, or had one and forgot it. Since childhood, she has been raised at the shrine as a "vessel" to receive the descent of divinity (神格). She speaks little and dreams often.

#Background — How the Adventure Began

Miko lived at the shrine from the year she turned seven. Her parents followed the custom of dedicating a child to the shrine (神子奉納). The shrine's old miko looked into Miko's eyes for a long time and said, "This child will become Inari's vessel." For the next ten-plus years, Miko grew up repeating rites of Inari descent. In the year she turned seventeen, the divine rank (神位) within her fully awakened.

The first incident after that awakening was a plague in a mountain village. When the whole village fell with high fever, Miko took the Manifest Divine Authority stance and stood in the center of the village square for half a day. The village recovered. When the villagers bowed to her, Miko could not be sure whether she was human or god.

The shrine's old miko gave her final advice: "Choose who you are. Inari will follow that choice too." After leaving those words, the old miko died.

#5th Dan — Inari's Proxy

#Scent

She has left the shrine and now makes pilgrimage through the realm. Wherever she goes, small Inari branch shrines welcome her. Villages she passes through are said to see fewer yoma.

#Background — How She Came This Far

After 1st dan, Miko spent three years touring shrines in the Kagura Domain region and helping establish small Inari branch shrines. During that time, she developed the Great Barrier: a rite that grants Inari's protection to an entire zone and raises allied Defense. When she cast Healing Light on one border fortress at Kagura Domain's request, every wounded soldier inside recovered 2 Wounds within the lull.

In the fourth year, Miko met the onmyoji Seika for the first time. The two had different views about one yoma: Seika argued for sealing, Miko for purification. After three days of discussion, the two cast both. The yoma was sealed and purified at the same time. Seika said, "This seems better." Miko nodded.

Around this time, Miko's Faith resource visibly increased. The reason was simple: Inari faith revived in the villages she passed through. Faith is a two-way flow between god and human. Miko understood that with her body for the first time.

#10th Dan (Tatsujin) — "Arahitogami Complete"

#Scent

The only human recognized as Inari's complete proxy. Not only Kagura Domain but Inari shrines throughout the realm enshrine her as a principal image. She still uses only the title "Miko" and cannot remember her real name.

Renown Title: Arahitogami Complete.

#Background — How She Earned the Renown Title

Miko's legend was completed during the Great Plague of Shikoku. When a Hannyakai itako spread plague, Miko traveled all Shikoku for three months, repeatedly casting Great Barrier and Healing Light. Her Faith resource ran dry, and her own Wounds were reduced, but she did not stop. Twelve villages in Shikoku were saved from the plague.

In the last village of that journey, Miko saw the completed form of Manifest Divine Authority. Her Sacred Domain expanded to cover the whole village, and dozens of plague onryo were purified at once. After that day, she was effectively called a living god. The moment the Renown Title Arahitogami Complete was given to her, the whole body of Inari shrines officially approved her as proxy principal image.

Her Faith resource now starts at 10 and has a maximum of 20. It is not lost. This proves that she has become Inari itself while alive.
