Backstory

    Kakeru Tanuki was born in the city of Hope, the gateway to the Outback Prefecture of Saigoth. Her mother died in the effort and her father vanished scant years later, leaving her in the care of her uncle, a minor warlord in the region. As a child, the only love she knew was more that of her uncle's favoured pet than anything resembling familial ties.
    As she grew older, however, it became clear that she had inherited her mother's good looks as well as learning the art of deception at her uncle's knee. 'KT' began working cons, theft, and blackmail before her years numbered in the double digits, playing a key part in the increase of her uncle's influence over the coming years.
    By the time she hit puberty, her notoriety in Hope's underworld grew to the point where whispers of a silver-tongued girl with eyes the colour of SPARTA became common for those in the business. At this point, her uncle also increased her duties to include upper class (for the Outback, at least) prostitution as well as occasionally servicing him. This trend continued more or less for the next few years until her uncle, just like her father, vanished without warning in the night.
    Her uncle's organisation split into three factions, eventually splintering entirely as the other two proved incapable of cooperating with the business model of KT's. In charge of her own agenda for the first time in her life, she led herself and a tight band of followers (mostly young, but adept cutthroats and hustlers) away from the warring and maneuvering for political power and into the mercenary existence.

   The legend of the silver-tongued girl with eyes the colour of SPARTA grew and grew with the continued success of Tanuki's mercenaries. Despite holding no territory of their own, they grew to be one of the most powerful organisations in the city of Hope. Eventually drawing the attention of the wardens.

   Ironically, it was in a mad, desparate frenzy to fend of the Lunars who had come to take her to the port of Mercy that KT exalted. Despite her Second Breath, she was still just a kit in the face of the two veteran wardens that came to extract her, though her Exaltation did result in her being shuttled from Luthe to the Blessed Isle rather than being shipped off to a Frontier colony.

KT's life has forged her into a strange combination of jaded con artist, adroit team leader, and scared orphan. While her ingrained tendency may be to swindle and cheat those around her out of their hard-earned gains, Tanuki's desire for positive attention and constant company serves to reign in many of her more antisocial behaviours.

I really appreciate free, succinct, relialbe data like this.

Great Curse

Curse of the Jealous Wolf
The Lunar becomes highly suspicious, if not downright hostile to anyone not within her most intimate circle (usually no larger than a dozen or so individuals). Those not considered a member of the Lunar's 'pack' will have to convince the Lunar they mean only to aid the pack, something nearly impossible to do in an uncontrolled limit break, or else be coerced, commanded, or physically forced to leave the viscinity of the pack.
Partial Control: The Lunar may expand their definition of a packmate to include those who have proven consistently beneficial to the Lunar or her motivation. In addition, the Lunar may spend a point of willpower to condone the presence of an individual who is not considered a member of the pack.

Notes

Talons of the Argent Colossus
Cost: +2m, +1wp; Mins: Strength 4, Essence 3;
Type: Permanent
Keywords: Combo-OK, Gift, Obvious
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Claws of the Silver Moon
This charm enhances its prerequisite, allowing the Lunar to spend additional motes and willpower to enlarge their claws to Warstrider scale. If the Lunar is not in a warstrider, these claws are cumbersome and oversized, levying a -3 mobility penalty on the Lunar which is reduced by one for each dot of Strength above 4. The benefit of this charm is that the Lunar's claws add (1/2 Strength rounded up for Lunars, rounded down for all others) to their damage calculation in addition to the formula provided by Claws of the Silver Moon. This charm is incompatible with all but natural weapons.

Lunars who wish to incorporate this charm into their war form may do so by spending 1wp and committing a single mote of essence when they assume their war form which must remain committed until they relinquish that form.

Shadow-Casting Stance
4m, 1wp Charisma 4/Essence 4
One Scene, Simple (Speed 6 in short ticks, -0 DV)
Combo-Ok, Obvious, Holy, Shaping
Prerequisite Charms: Outworld-Forsaking Stance

Pointing toward a single target, the Lunar judges them an enemy of her ward. The Lunar's shadow stretches the distance between them, merging with the shadow of the target to increase its darkness twofold. For the rest of the scene, the target is considered a Creature of Darkness by the Lunar (and only the Lunar).
The Lunar may attempt to override the effects of Abyssal Aegis, but doing so requires an Unstoppable Force/Immoveable Object rolloff. The tattoos of the Lunar Exalted do not wholly negate this charm's effect, rather, the Lunar rolls Charisma + Presence vs the Lunar target's DMDV, (which is decreased by one-half the value of all mutations of Wyld or Demonic origin).
At Essence 5, the Lunar may spend an additional 4 motes to change the target of this charm no less than three actions after charm activation or the last change of target.
At Essence 6, the Lunar may permanent deem a target as an enemy of their ward. This costs one aggravated health level and successes on a charisma + presence roll must exceed the permanent essence of the target. The visual effect of this is that, for the Lunar, the target's shadow will always appear twice as dark as it should. The Lunar reduces the difficulty to see through disguises that do not automatically succeed against mundane attempts to see through them by one, or in the case of Lunar shapeshifting, reduces the MDV needed to spot the Lunar's Tell by 1. As mentioned before, effects such as Subtle Silver Declaration or Perfect Mirror render this increased ease of recognition inapplicable.
