An invisible force surrounds him, unseen and unnoticed by all but a supernatural eye is a monstrous beast with a long weasel-like body. Adorned with long sharp claws and gnashing teeth it is aggressive in protecting its host and lashes out when threatened.
-------------------
The yokai Kazarisu is shaped like a long-furred body animal, similar to that of a weasel of some kind. Stretching to be around 1 foot long ending with two short legs on one end and a head on the other, its paws are long sharp claws that can easily hook into and slash at prey. The beast has a white coloration to it with a black-tipped tail, and eyes of shimmering blue, and inspects anything that comes close as it hides itself on Ricter.
Interestingly enough, no one can see it, touch, or even feel it- until someone attempts to bring harm to its host, in which it will attack with its claws or teeth, aiming to blunt the damage somewhat and retaliate. However, when his host is damaged they work to stop the bleeding in some way, using its supernaturally healing saliva to seal wounds.

Maggie’s pact with Zhaarath, the Infinite Weaver, grants her the power to manipulate the threads of fate, shielding her from harm. This eldritch spirit controls the flow of time and destiny, granting Maggie limited control over probability. Deadly blows are turned aside, and misfortune is redirected away from her, leaving her unharmed. However, the protection is subtle and ever-shifting, making her seem impossibly lucky to the outside observer: deadly strikes are reduced to glancing blows and most attacks miss her entirely as ill fortune bends the odds in her favor. The power doesn’t just protect her—it turns an enemy’s effort against them, frustrating their attempts and leaving them vulnerable to Maggie's next move.
