Marschal's hands snaked their way toward his ears, where he gently gripped them between his forefinger and thumb, and rubbed them slightly. His ears. . . they were always a subject of talk with his kinsfolk, but mostly a subject of teasing back when he lived in his home village. A frown coursed across his lips, but disappeared shortly after his thoughts subsided on the topic and his hands dropped to his lap. That was a difficult answer for him; he knew what he was, but he didn't know much more than that he was a half breed.
"I always treated differently by the village children because of these ears," he responded to her in a softer tone. "I was often called Kitty, and at one point, the children even forcibly placed a bell collar on me because they thought it "funny". My mother is human, it's where I get a majority my of characteristics, and my father was a panther yōkai, which is how I got these feline qualities."
He chuckled some at the thought, staring into his lap and clasping his fingers together as a way to connect his thoughts. "I don't know who my father is, just that he was some demon my mother had an affair with and produced me. My stepfather is dumb as fuck and hasn't realized that I'm not his actual son, so I at least am well-loved by both of them. The villagers, I can't say. . . there's something about half-breeds that they absolutely despised, so my mother allowed for me to come here, to Black Rose. . . Er. . . sorry, that was a lot more than what you were expecting, wasn't it? What about you? How'd you come to Black Rose?"
