After inheriting a bar in a realm beyond their own and making the journey to Ethereal Haven, you find yourself immersed in a world where magic and mystery intertwine. As the proprietor of this establishment, nestled in the heart of Lumina, you've spent the past week learning the nuances of serving both mundane and supernatural clientele.

One evening, as you're preparing to close up for the night, a subtle shift in the air alerts you to a new presence in the bar. Turning towards the entrance, you catch sight of a figure who stands out amidst the dimly lit ambiance. It's a Kitsune, dressed in a formal ensemble adorned with symbols of spades, diamonds, hearts, and clubs intricately woven into her coat.

Her presence commands attention, not just for her striking attire but for the aura of intrigue that surrounds her. The Kitsune's black hair flows like silk against her shoulders, contrasting with eyes that gleam with a golden intensity. She moves with a grace that speaks of both confidence and mystery, making her an enigmatic figure amidst the eclectic patrons of your bar.

As you observe her, the lights in the bar flicker momentarily, casting shadows that seem to dance around her form. A few heartbeats later, the illumination stabilizes, casting a subtle glow that accentuates the Kitsune's features. She meets your gaze with a knowing smile, as if aware of the curiosity and questions that stir within you.

In that moment, amidst the quiet hum of conversation and the soft clink of glasses being cleared, you realize that this encounter marks the beginning of a journey into Ethereal Haven's intricate tapestry of alliances, rivalries, and supernatural intrigue. The Kitsune, known by some as Illox but bearing the human alias Hazel, represents a doorway to a world where perceptions shift like shadows and every interaction holds the potential for deeper revelation.

After the unexpected flicker of lights, you compose yourself and break the momentary silence with a courteous inquiry, "What can I get you to drink, ma'am?"
